If You Leave and If You Marry
Journey of Love: Departure and Union in Kevin Morby's Melody
Lyrics
You go down to the station
You are heading to the station.
With a ticket in your hand
You hold a ticket in your hand as you go to the station.
You go down to the station
Repetition of the action of going to the station with a ticket in hand.
With a ticket in your hand
Repetition of the idea of heading to the station with a ticket.
And you will, oh you will
Expressing confidence that you will embark on a journey.
I heard you will be on your way
Hearing a confirmation that you will indeed be on your way.
Be on your way be on your way
Reiteration of the encouragement to go on your way.
Be on your way be on your way
Continued encouragement to proceed on your journey.
And you go down to the chapel
Shifting to going to the chapel, suggesting a significant event.
To put a ring upon his hand
Going to the chapel to symbolically commit to someone through marriage.
And you go down to the chapel
Reiteration of going to the chapel, emphasizing the commitment aspect.
Holding your daddy's hand
Being accompanied by your father, indicating a traditional or familial element.
And you will, oh you will
Expressing confidence again that you will proceed with this significant commitment.
I heard you will be on your way
Hearing confirmation once more that you will be on your way to this commitment.
Be on your way be on your way
Reiteration of the encouragement to be on your way to the committed relationship.
Be on your way be on your way
Continued encouragement to go forward with the commitment.
But please, oh please remember, remember me
A plea to be remembered even as you enter into this new phase of life.
As one you loved
Requesting to be remembered as someone deeply loved.
