Lyrics
It feels like I've been here for days
Expressing a sense of prolonged isolation and time dragging on.
Sitting on the front porch alone
Describing the narrator's current state of being on the front porch without company.
You up and left me like nothing had happened
Highlighting the sudden and unexpected departure of a significant other.
Now I'm afraid to live life on my own
Conveying fear and reluctance about facing life independently after the departure.
We had everything we could ask for
Recalling a period when everything in the relationship seemed perfect.
Nothing was wrong so it seemed
Stating that there were no apparent issues in the relationship.
I never could get enough of your love
Expressing a strong desire for the partner's love.
But I'm afraid you had too much of me
Suggesting that the partner may have become overwhelmed or burdened by the narrator's love.
So I cry into the night
Describing the emotional pain through crying during the night.
My heart broken in two
Indicating the emotional impact of a broken heart.
My world slipping away
Expressing a feeling of losing grip on the world.
Hoping to be back with you
Expressing a longing to reunite with the departed partner.
But I'll still dance to the sound of our first slow song
Recalling the positive memory of a first slow dance with the partner.
And if I'm not crying I'll try and sing along
Committing to finding solace through music, either by crying or singing.
I'll come to recall all the moments
Reflecting on and cherishing past shared moments.
That I held you tight
Reveling in the memory of holding the partner tightly.
It felt so right
Emphasizing the rightness and warmth felt during those moments.
I'll two-step to Conway and waltz to The King
Indicating a willingness to continue dancing to songs by Conway Twitty and Elvis Presley.
Thinking of just one thing
Having thoughts focused on the departed partner while dancing.
Holding your body so close all through the night
Recollecting the intimate act of holding the partner closely throughout the night.
But I dance all alone in the light
Acknowledging the current reality of dancing alone in the light.
A friend of mine said that he saw you
Revealing that a friend has seen the departed partner looking good.
Looking as good as before
Confirming the partner's attractiveness despite the breakup.
He asked how you'd been and you said so much better
Quoting the partner claiming improvement since leaving the narrator.
Since the day that you walked out my door
Indicating the partner's decision to end the relationship.
Now I cry into the night
Repeating the theme of crying into the night due to heartbreak.
My heart broken in two
Reiterating the emotional toll of a broken heart.
My world slipping away
Describing a sense of the world slipping away due to the breakup.
Cause all I can think of is you
Expressing the all-encompassing thoughts of the departed partner.
But I'll still dance to the sound of our first slow song
Repeating the commitment to dancing, either in tears or with singing.
And if I'm not crying I'll try and sing along
Stating the intention to recall and cherish past shared moments.
I'll come to recall all the moments
Reaffirming the joy of holding the partner tightly.
That I held you tight
Recalling the feeling of rightness and warmth during those embraces.
It felt so right
Reiterating the commitment to dancing to specific songs and thinking of the departed partner.
I'll two-step to Conway and waltz to The King
Continuing to focus on thoughts of the departed partner while dancing.
