All in All
Love's Resilience: My Friend Steve's All in All Unveiled
Lyrics
Hey Victoria, do you still hide my letters
Expressing inquiry about whether Victoria still hides the letters.
Under the mattress you lay on with him?
Questioning if the letters are hidden under the mattress she shares with someone else.
Do you even remember putting them there?
Asking if Victoria remembers placing the letters under the mattress.
I'd say probably not.
Suggesting Victoria may not remember or acknowledge hiding the letters.
But I'm here, and I'm writing by the light of the candle
Writing a letter by the candlelight, reminiscent of past communication.
That I once used when I'd write you.
Recalling the use of a specific candle when previously writing to Victoria.
Oh, Victoria, the girl in the flowered dress;
Addressing Victoria, describing her as "the girl in the flowered dress."
It seems you've forgotten; is this some kind of test?
Noting a perception that Victoria may have forgotten something important, questioning if it's a test.
And if so, I hope I'm doing well.
Expressing a desire to perform well if the situation is indeed a test.
And on the fourth of July while I sit and cry,
Referencing a specific date (fourth of July) and expressing emotional pain about Victoria being with someone else.
You and Mr. Wonderful can have the time of your lives.
Conveying that Victoria and another person can enjoy their time together.
Oh, Victoria, did you have a good time in France?
Inquiring about Victoria's experience in France.
Hey, don't worry, 'cause nothing's going to change you said.
Reassuring Victoria not to worry, as she claimed that nothing would change.
Words in the wind, well, they certainly do seem easy.
Reflecting on the ease with which words can be said but may not hold true.
Eight months, now, I've been waiting for you to come around.
Expressing a prolonged period of waiting for Victoria to reciprocate feelings.
Beating my head against the wall; you never believed me.
Describing frustration and disbelief in the face of skepticism from Victoria.
Why would you worry? Why would you worry?
Posing rhetorical questions about why Victoria would worry or doubt.
All in all, I'd still say thank you. You showed me a life I never knew.
Gratefulness for the experiences shared, acknowledging a newfound perspective on life.
All in all, I'd still say I love you. All in all, I surrender.
Expressing love for Victoria despite challenges and surrendering to the situation.
All in all.
Concluding with an overarching sentiment of acceptance and acknowledgment of the entirety of the situation.
