Nine Times Blue
Love's Redemption: A Song of Regret and Growth
Lyrics
There's a certain something in the way
Expressing a unique quality or manner in the way someone looked at the speaker.
You looked at me and said you'd stay
The person assured the speaker of their commitment to stay.
That let me know that I was out of line
The look conveyed that the speaker had crossed a boundary or behaved improperly.
But I didn't know what else to do
The speaker was uncertain about what action to take in the given situation.
And like a fool I tested you
The speaker, foolishly, decided to test the other person's commitment.
By demanding things of you which weren't mine
The speaker demanded things that were not rightfully theirs, putting a strain on the relationship.
And now I feel like such a fool
The speaker now feels regret and acknowledges their foolish actions.
For making you crawl back to me
Regret for making the other person come back to them, possibly in a subservient manner.
But you did it with such love
The other person returned with love despite the difficult situation.
That you're standing far above
The other person's actions elevate them above the speaker.
Me and all I did to you
The speaker acknowledges the harm they caused to the other person.
I'm sorry now, what can I do?
The speaker expresses remorse and seeks a solution.
I know that never in the world
The speaker reflects on the uniqueness of the person they are with.
Could I have found me such a girl
Expressing gratitude for having someone supportive in their life.
Who's there to pick me up before I fall
The supportive person is there to help the speaker in times of difficulty.
So if in the end we should go
If the relationship ends, the speaker acknowledges the lessons learned.
Both our separate ways
Acceptance of the possibility of parting ways, understanding the value of the lessons.
I know the lesson I've learned here is worth it all
The speaker recognizes the wisdom gained from the experience.
