That Saturday Night
Echoes of Broken Promises in That Saturday Night
Lyrics
Wished we could, go back to the start
Expressing a desire to return to the beginning of a relationship.
Before we fell and blew it all up
Reflecting on a past mistake or failure that caused the relationship to end.
All our friends said we're better apart
Indicating that friends believed the individuals were better off not being together.
Oh our stubborn minds
Highlighting stubbornness as a factor in the relationship's challenges.
Started as friends, now we're nothing anymore
Describing a transition from friendship to a state of no connection.
You wanted her close, so now I'm further than before
Noting distance caused by a partner's interest in someone else.
I don't know if our memories will last
Uncertain about the longevity of shared memories.
What a great time we had
Acknowledging positive experiences in the past.
I think back to times, when I was everything you need
Recalling a time when the speaker fulfilled all the partner's needs.
For you to go back so easily
Expressing surprise at the ease with which the partner moved on.
I can't help to think it was all a lie
Doubting the authenticity of the entire relationship.
We were better off at the begin
Suggesting that the relationship was better at the beginning.
We shouldn't have been more
Regretting an attempt to escalate the relationship beyond its natural course.
And skipped that Saturday night
Expressing a wish to undo events that occurred on a specific Saturday night.
We don't speak like it was everyday
Noting a lack of regular communication as compared to the past.
So if I'd call, would you pick up anyway?
Pondering if the partner would answer a call due to strained communication.
Or would my voice be too much to take?
Considering whether the speaker's voice would be too difficult for the partner to handle.
So you let it ring instead
Describing a scenario where calls are left unanswered.
I think back to times, when I was everything you need
Reflecting again on a time when the speaker met all the partner's needs.
For you to go back so easily
Reiterating surprise at the partner's quick return to a previous state.
I can't help to think it was all a lie
Questioning the authenticity of the entire relationship once more.
We were better off at the begin
Emphasizing that the relationship was better in its initial stages.
We shouldn't have been more
Expressing regret for attempting to make the relationship more than it was.
And skipped that Saturday night
Reiterating a desire to undo events from a specific Saturday night.
Remember those promises you made?
Recalling unfulfilled promises made by the partner.
How you should have kept them, but you threw them all away
Criticizing the partner for discarding promises and causing harm.
Now I can't help to hope, you're breaking just like me
Hoping that the partner is experiencing emotional pain similar to the speaker's.
But you've had company
Noting the partner's current companionship despite the speaker's hope for their suffering.
