Lyrics
There's a place over the hills that I like
Expressing a fondness for a specific place beyond the hills.
Oh can we go there when we die?
Pondering the possibility of going to that place after death.
Only I know you're the love of my life
Acknowledging the person addressed as the love of the singer's life.
I just wished you'd know too
Expressing a desire for the addressed person to reciprocate the feelings.
Now I'm alone with unfamiliar faces
Feeling isolated among unfamiliar individuals.
No one to come home to
Conveying a sense of loneliness with no one to return to.
Just run away
Encouraging the idea of escaping or running away from the current situation.
Oh run away
Reiterating the call to run away, possibly a recurring theme.
Like you always do
Noting a pattern of the person being addressed frequently running away.
Are those rum bottles on the floor?
Raising a question about the presence of rum bottles on the floor.
Does this mean you're leaving like before?
Suspecting a potential departure based on the presence of alcohol bottles.
I know when we were kids
Reflecting on a simpler time in childhood.
It was easier, oh than this
Comparing the ease of the past with the current complexities.
And we'll part our ways
Anticipating a separation or parting of ways.
We'll spend our days, thinking of each other
Envisaging a future where thoughts of each other persist despite physical distance.
And what is this I hear?
Expressing surprise or concern about rumors or information heard.
You're ready to disappear?
Noting the readiness of the person to vanish or distance themselves.
No one can come near
Emphasizing the emotional unavailability or inaccessibility of the person.
Just run away
Echoing the earlier call to escape or run away.
Oh run away
Reiterating the suggestion to run away, possibly underscoring urgency.
Like you always do
Highlighting the consistent behavior of the person addressed in running away.
Are those rum bottles on the floor?
Recalling the presence of rum bottles on the floor, raising the departure possibility again.
Does this mean you're leaving like before?
Reiterating the concern about the person leaving, possibly drawing a parallel with a previous instance.
