Just to Spend Tonight With You
Love's Sacrifice: Breaking Rules for a Night with You
Lyrics
What good is love if you're not wearing it, baby
Questioning the value of love if it's not openly expressed or embraced.
When you're dying of thirst and drowning in maybe's
Expressing the pain of unfulfilled desires and uncertainty.
When nobody else can touch that part of you
Highlighting the intimacy and vulnerability that only a specific person can reach.
Me I stood out here in the open
Describing a vulnerable and open state.
And offered the one thing that nobody else had broken
Offering a genuine and unbroken love, contrasting with past experiences.
As if I didn't know what you might do, I might lose
Acknowledging the risk of potential heartbreak, uncertainty about the other person's actions.
I have broken every rule, the hard way for you
Admitting to breaking conventional rules for love, enduring hardships.
And I would do it all again
Expressing a willingness to go through challenges again for the same love.
Just to spend the night with you
Stating the willingness to endure hardships just for the opportunity to be with the person for a night.
You took my love like a one armed bandit
Comparing the recipient of love to a risky game, possibly indicating unpredictability.
Got reason to cry, got more than I can stand
Acknowledging emotional pain and being overwhelmed by the intensity of the feelings.
And I'm going down for the third time over you
Expressing a sense of sinking or struggling emotionally over the person.
It hurts the most when the knife keeps coming
Describing the ongoing emotional pain, using the metaphor of a repeated stabbing.
I was standin' still when I should have been running
Regretting past inaction and realizing the need to escape a harmful situation.
As if you didn't know what I might do, I might choose
Highlighting the uncertainty in the other person's actions, questioning their knowledge of potential consequences.
I have broken every rule the hard way for you
Reiterating the willingness to break rules for love, despite the hardships faced.
And I would do it all again
Affirming a readiness to endure challenges again for the same love.
Just to spend the night with you
Repeating the desire to go through difficulties just to spend a night with the person.
I would follow every road with nothing else in view
Expressing a commitment to follow any path as long as it leads to the person.
Just like the frozen willow bends I have
Using a metaphor of a frozen willow bending to convey flexibility and adaptability in pursuit of love.
Just to spend the night with you
Reiterating the willingness to endure challenges for the sake of spending a night with the person.
Do you love to watch me break
Possibly questioning the impact of one's emotional vulnerability on the other person.
Do you just love to watch me ache
Suggesting that the other person might derive satisfaction from witnessing emotional pain.
On the chances that I take
Reflecting on the risks taken in the pursuit of love and the resulting emotional pain.
Do you love to watch me break in two
Posing a question about whether the other person enjoys seeing the speaker emotionally shattered.
Honey, just to spend the night with you
Expressing a willingness to endure emotional pain just for the opportunity to spend a night with the person.
