Lyrics
Now I can remember like it was only yesterday
Reflecting on the past with a clear memory of love.
Love was young and foolish like a little child at play
Describing the initial stage of love as youthful and carefree.
But oh how lovers change, I never dreamed how easily
Expressing surprise at how lovers change easily.
'cause now I'm just a shadow of the boy I used to be
Feeling like a diminished version of the person from the past.
And when I write the book about my love
Anticipating writing a book about personal love experiences.
It will be about a man who's torn in half
Describing inner conflict and emotional struggles.
About his hopes and ambitions wasted through the years
Regretting wasted hopes and ambitions over the years.
The pain will be written on every page in tears
Emphasizing the pervasive pain and sorrow in the narrative.
When I write the book about my love
Reiterating the intention to write a book about personal love experiences.
I was a fool to myself when I kept on runnin' around
Admitting past mistakes and foolish behavior.
And I fared little better when I tried settlin' down
Acknowledging difficulties in both a wandering and settled lifestyle.
Maybe some magic moment, I've never known one, not for long
Expressing doubt about experiencing magical moments in love.
For all too soon the magic is in a moment gone
Highlighting the fleeting nature of magical moments in love.
And when I write the book about my love
Repeating the intention to write a heartbreaking love story.
It'll be a heartbreaking story about love and luck
Emphasizing the combination of love and luck in the narrative.
When I get down on the pages all I felt
Promising to depict deep emotions on every page.
It will make the hardest-hearted of critics' hearts melt
Suggesting that the narrative will touch even the toughest critics.
When I write the book about my love
Reiterating the intention to write a book about personal love experiences.
When I was young love was fun and I was so happy
Recalling a time when love was enjoyable and brought happiness.
I looked so good and I dressed so snappy
Describing a past self as looking good and dressing well.
Two-tone shoes on my feet big old smile on my face
Depicting a carefree and joyful past with specific details.
As I moved and grooved all over the place
Describing past lively and energetic movements.
Now I'm down in the heels my complexion is bad
Expressing a decline in appearance and emotional state.
'cause my love life is sadder than sad
Linking the sadness of love life to a deteriorating condition.
And when I write the book about my love
Repeating the intention to write a book about personal love experiences.
It'll be a pop publication, tougher than tough
Describing the book as a tough, possibly critical, publication.
When I get down on the pages all I missed
Stating the intention to include missed experiences in the narrative.
It will shoot to the top of the best-sellers list
Suggesting the book's potential success and popularity.
When I write the book about my love
Reiterating the intention to write a book about personal love experiences.
