Lyrics
A chair is still a chair
A chair is a symbolic representation of a place for someone to sit and be present.
Even when there's no one sitting there
Even when unoccupied, the chair retains its identity and purpose.
But a chair is not a house
Despite its function, a chair cannot fulfill the emotional needs associated with a home.
And a house is not a home
Emphasizes that a house, while a physical structure, lacks the essence of a home without emotional connections.
When there's no one there to hold you tight,
The absence of someone close diminishes the warmth and comfort a home should provide.
And no one there you can kiss good night.
Without the presence of a loved one, the home lacks the intimacy and security of goodnight kisses.
A room is still a room
Similar to the chair analogy, a room's physical existence doesn't guarantee emotional fulfillment.
Even when there's nothing there but gloom;
Even in an empty room, the emotional atmosphere can be bleak and desolate.
But a room is not a house,
Reiterates that a room, like a chair, can't replace the emotional depth of a true home.
And a house is not a home
Restates the central theme that physical distance erodes the emotional essence of a home.
When the two of us are far apart
Describes the emotional pain of being separated and the impact on one's heart.
And one of us has a broken heart.
Highlights the emotional toll of a broken heart when lovers are apart.
Now and then I call your name
Expresses the act of reaching out to a distant loved one by calling their name.
And suddenly your face appears
The mention of seeing the loved one's face suggests a deep emotional connection.
But it's just a crazy game
Describes the unpredictable and emotional nature of love, comparing it to a game.
When it ends it ends in tears.
Conveys the potential sorrow and tears that accompany the conclusion of the emotional "game" of love.
Darling, have a heart,
Addressing the loved one, urging them not to let a mistake jeopardize the relationship.
Don't let one mistake keep us apart.
Pleads for understanding and forgiveness to maintain the connection and avoid separation.
I'm not meant to live alone.
Expresses the human need for companionship and rejects the idea of living in isolation.
Turn this house into a home.
Appeals to the loved one to transform the physical house into an emotionally fulfilling home.
When I climb the stair and turn the key,
Describes the routine of returning home and the hope that the loved one will still be present.
Oh, please be there still in love with me.
The final plea for the enduring presence of love in the relationship.
