Love Overtime
Love's Overtime: Navigating the Storm of Regret and Lessons Unlearned
Lyrics
I can remember so well
I have vivid memories of certain moments.
Moments where love first welled up inside me
Recalling the initial feelings of love emerging within me.
A time we never thought there
At a time when we didn't anticipate challenges in life.
Could be rain in life
Suggesting a period of innocence and optimism.
And in that danger zone made
In a risky situation, we expressed our love.
All our loving but some way
Despite this, something prevented me from realizing the consequences.
Somehow I just didn't know i delayed
I unknowingly delayed understanding the impact.
Our song went drifting by
Our special song passed by unnoticed.
I didn't recognize love's face
I failed to recognize the true face of love.
We danced all night in the summertime
We danced throughout the night in the summer.
And I knew you would be mine
I believed you would become mine.
We danced all night into overtime
We continued dancing even beyond the expected time.
When love was so easy to find on my way
Love was easily found on my journey.
And now I've learned what we had
Reflecting on what we once shared.
I know I lied to myself
Acknowledging self-deception about our relationship.
I guess that lady luck just couldn't wait
Suggesting luck played a role in our separation.
I watched you walk away from our moment
Witnessing you depart from our shared moment.
Into some other life
You moved on to a different life.
We danced all night in the summertime
We danced through the summer night.
And I knew you would be mine
Confident that you would belong to me.
We danced all night into overtime
Our dancing extended into overtime.
When love was so easy to find
Love was once easily attainable.
We danced all night in the summertime
Repeating the experience of dancing in the summer.
I didn't see what was so plain
I failed to perceive the obvious.
You don't feel fall in the summertime
Not realizing that feelings can fade in the summertime.
I never felt a drop of rain
Never experiencing difficulties during the pleasant season.
O-o-o-o those bridges the burned me
Recalling the bridges that led to pain and separation.
O-o-o-o the flames when our loving died
Remembering the intense emotions when our love ended.
O-o-o-o those lessons unlearned
Reflecting on the unlearned lessons.
Sowed their cold winds so many times
Consequences of ignoring those lessons repeatedly.
We danced all night in the summertime
Revisiting the joyful night of dancing in the summer.
We laughed in the morning sun
Laughing under the morning sun.
We danced all night into overtime
Continuing to dance into overtime.
Did you see it come undone
Questioning if we noticed it all falling apart.
When I came back it was long behind
Realizing that by the time I returned, it was too late.
Didn't love give us a sign
Wondering if love provided warnings.
We danced all night into overtime
Revisiting the extended dance into overtime.
Why didn't we listen to love and our hearts
Regretting not heeding the signs from love and our hearts.
Didn't love give us a sign
Reflecting on the signs love gave us.
