Meet Me in Croatia
Forgiveness by the Adriatic: Unraveling Heartbreak in Croatia
Lyrics
Meet me in Croatia and I might forgive ya
Invitation to meet in Croatia with a possibility of forgiveness
For taking another woman first
Expressing hurt for being involved with another woman
A dream destination turned humiliation
Describing Croatia as a dream destination now tainted by humiliation
At least I already knew of her
Acknowledging prior knowledge of the other woman
I don't know what I'm trying to achieve
Expressing confusion about the goals and outcomes of actions
It's obvious you never loved me
Asserting the belief that true love was never present
I could alone but you've ruined it so
Feeling unable to be alone due to the emotional impact of the situation
You'd be a ghost in my
Hinting at the possibility of the person becoming a distant memory
Footsteps on those streets
Imagining the presence of the person in the streets of Croatia
You'd be a ghost if I swam in the sea
Imagining the person as a ghost if swimming in the sea
Meet me in Croatia and I might forgive ya
Repetition of the invitation to meet in Croatia with potential forgiveness
For taking another woman first
Reiteration of hurt for being involved with another woman
A dream destination turned humiliation
Repeating the tarnishing of Croatia as a dream destination
At least I already knew of her
Repeating prior knowledge of the other woman
Next time you should send me a postcard
Suggesting a more considerate way of ending the relationship
Like the notes you used to leave
Comparing the current situation to past notes expressing affection
Saying you'd miss me
Recalling earlier expressions of missing each other
You told me I was worth the wait
Reminiscing about being told that the speaker was worth waiting for
What the hell happened for you
Expressing confusion about the sudden decision to leave
To get on that plane?
Questioning the motivation for getting on a plane
Meet me in Croatia and I might forgive ya
Repetition of the invitation with potential forgiveness
For taking another woman first
Reiteration of hurt for being involved with another woman
A dream destination turned humiliation
Repeating the tarnishing of Croatia as a dream destination
At least I already knew of her
Repeating prior knowledge of the other woman
Oh, I don't know what I'm trying to achieve
Expressing continued confusion about actions and goals
It's obvious you never loved me
Reiterating the belief that true love was never present
Yes, I could alone but you've ruined it so
Feeling unable to be alone due to the emotional impact of the situation
You'd be a ghost in my
Repeating the idea of the person becoming a distant memory
Footsteps on those streets
Imagining the presence of the person in the streets of Croatia
You'd be a ghost if I swam in the sea
Imagining the person as a ghost if swimming in the sea
Meet me in Croatia and I might forgive ya
Final repetition of the invitation with potential forgiveness
For taking another woman first
Final reiteration of hurt for being involved with another woman
A dream destination turned humiliation
Final repetition of the tarnishing of Croatia as a dream destination
At least I already knew of her
Final repetition of prior knowledge of the other woman
But, meet me in Croatia
Emphasizing the possibility of forgiveness in Croatia
And I might forgive ya i might forgive ya
Reiterating the potential for forgiveness in the Croatian context
