Watch Your Step: Navigating Love's Thorny Path
Lyrics
Well you sent me running
Feeling compelled to escape or avoid a situation caused by the other person.
For cover, deep in those dark and lonely hallways of my heart
Seeking refuge in the emotional depths of one's heart due to loneliness and distress.
And there were problems
Acknowledging the existence of issues in the relationship.
You said there was something wrong with me
Attributing problems to a perceived flaw in oneself as communicated by the partner.
And they were deep-seated they were deep-rooted
Describing the profound and deeply rooted nature of the problems.
I must've pushed 'em away I pushed 'em away
Realizing the role of self in pushing away the issues.
So you left with the impression that if I could just clear my head
Partner left with the impression that resolving personal issues would lead to reconciliation.
You'd be back with me on day
Expectation that clearing one's head would bring the partner back.
But now you walk the roads with a rose in your teeth
Observing the partner moving on, symbolized by walking with someone else.
Walking arm and arm with him it's hard to believe that I'm the furthest
Expressing disbelief at being forgotten or replaced.
Thing from your mind
Feeling distant from the partner's thoughts and affections.
Well if those dark clouds haven't come rolling in yet
Warning about potential challenges or hardships that may arise.
Come on baby you know better than that
Encouraging the partner to be cautious and make wiser decisions.
In life there's a lot of high grass and deep wet sane
Metaphorically describing life's challenges as high grass and deep wet terrain.
You just trudge through the best that you can
Encouraging perseverance and moving forward despite difficulties.
And remember
Emphasizing the importance of being mindful and cautious.
To watch your step
Reiterating the advice to be careful and watchful in one's actions.
You can take it on the run now babe
Suggesting the option to escape or avoid responsibilities and commitments.
Cause you'll throw it away, you'll throw it away
Warning that avoiding issues will lead to their abandonment.
You can take it on the run now babe
Repeating the idea that neglecting problems will result in their abandonment.
Cause you'll throw it away, you'll throw it away
Emphasizing the consequences of neglecting issues.
You can take it on the run now babe
Stressing the irreversible nature of discarding responsibilities.
Cause you'll throw it away
Highlighting the permanence of the decision to discard.
Just like you threw me away
Expressing the pain and sense of being discarded by the partner.
Well if those dark clouds haven't come rolling in yet
Repeating the warning about potential challenges or hardships.
Come on baby you know better than that
Reiterating the advice to be cautious and make wise decisions.
In life there's a lot of high grass and deep wet sane
Recalling the metaphor of life's challenges as high grass and deep wet terrain.
You just trudge through the best that you can
Encouraging perseverance and moving forward despite difficulties.
And remember
Emphasizing the importance of being mindful and cautious.
To watch your step
Reiterating the advice to be careful and watchful in one's actions.
You can take it on the run now babe
Suggesting the option to escape or avoid responsibilities and commitments.
Cause you'll throw it away, you'll throw it away
Warning that avoiding issues will lead to their abandonment.
You can take it on the run now babe
Repeating the idea that neglecting problems will result in their abandonment.
Cause you'll throw it away, you'll throw it away
Emphasizing the consequences of neglecting issues.
You can take it on the run now babe
Stressing the irreversible nature of discarding responsibilities.
Cause you're gonna throw him away
Anticipating the partner's future act of discarding someone else.
Just like you threw me away
Comparing the partner's future actions to the past act of discarding the speaker.
