Lyrics
Girl, you're slipping right through my hands
Expressing a sense of losing grip or control over the person addressed (girl).
And girl, you're wondering which way to land
Suggesting uncertainty or confusion in the girl's choices and direction.
Oh, it's not like it was before
Highlighting a change in the situation, emphasizing it's different from the past.
There's a different key to the door
Metaphorically referring to a changed approach or solution compared to earlier times.
And even though we may be departing
Acknowledging a departure, but asserting that companionship remains.
We're never alone
Emphasizing that despite separation, one is not truly alone.
And even though you may feel discarded
Recognizing feelings of being rejected or unneeded but affirming the existence of a home or place.
Well you've got a home
Reassuring the girl that she still has a place to belong.
Boy oh boy you look like your getting old
Observing physical aging and perhaps implying wisdom gained over time.
And boy oh boy never do as you are told (oh never did)
Highlighting a tendency to defy authority or not conform to instructions.
Oh don't you know that life ain't silver and gold
Stating that life is not always glamorous, contrasting it with the notions of silver and gold.
It's bought and it's sold
Commenting on the transactional nature of life, its commodities, and values.
And even though we may be departing
Reiterating the theme of companionship during times of departure.
We're never alone
Affirming that one is not abandoned despite the sense of departure.
And even though we may feel discarded
Acknowledging the feeling of being cast aside but asserting the presence of a home.
Well we've got a home
Extending the idea that there's a place to belong even in times of emotional distance.
And even though we may be departing
Repeating the theme of not being alone, reinforcing the message of togetherness.
We're never alone
Reassuring that companionship persists despite the sense of departure.
And even though you may feel discarded
Affirming the availability of a home even when feeling neglected or unwanted.
Well you've got a home
Reiterating the idea of having a place to belong despite emotional challenges.
And even though you may be downhearted
Recognizing a downhearted emotional state but emphasizing the lack of isolation.
You're never alone
Affirming that one is not truly alone even during difficult times.
And even though you may be departing
Repeating the idea of having a home during the experience of departure.
Well you've got a home
Concluding with the assurance that there is a place to belong despite the act of leaving.
