Heart Like Mine
Echoes of a Misguided Love: Heart Like Mine
Lyrics
It's easier to miss ya, than it is to let you down
Expressing that missing someone is less challenging than disappointing them.
I knew from the start I was from the wrong side of town
Awareness of being from a less favorable or incompatible background.
You told me I was different, but you treated me fine
Acknowledging being treated well despite perceived differences.
'Cause you got the only heart like mine
Complimenting the uniqueness of the person's heart.
I'm good at gettin' lost, but I'm bad at gettin' found
Proficiency in losing oneself but struggling to be found.
You're flyin' in the sky and I'm runnin' on the ground
Highlighting the contrast in positions or situations.
I ain't no straight and narrow, but for you I'll walk the line
Willingness to make exceptions and go the extra mile for the person.
You got the only heart like mine
Reiteration of the unique heart possessed by the person.
You got the only heart like mine
Emphasizing the exclusivity of the person's heart.
Well, I'd tell you that I'd love you forever
Expressing a commitment to love forever, despite discomfort with dishonesty.
But I hate the way you look when I lie
An aversion to the way the person looks when being lied to.
You know that it hurts to remember
Acknowledging the pain associated with remembering.
You got the only heart like mine
Reiterating the uniqueness of the person's heart.
You got the only heart like mine
Affirming the exclusivity of the person's heart.
I'd ask you what you're thinkin', but I'm shakin' at the thought
Expressing hesitation to inquire about the person's thoughts due to anxiety.
I made out like a bandit who was scared of gettin' caught
Comparing oneself to a fearful bandit in a situation.
You'll always be a memory in the shadows of my mind
Acknowledging the person's permanent place in memory.
'Cause you got the only heart like mine
Reaffirming the distinctiveness of the person's heart.
You got the only heart like mine
Emphasizing the exclusivity of the person's heart.
Well, I'd tell you that I'd love you forever
Repeating a commitment to everlasting love, tempered by discomfort with dishonesty.
But I hate the way you look when I lie
Expressing discomfort with the way the person appears during lies.
You know that it hurts to remember
Acknowledging the pain associated with remembering.
You got the only heart like mine
Reiterating the uniqueness of the person's heart.
You got the only heart like mine
Affirming the exclusivity of the person's heart.
It's easier to miss ya than it was to let you down
Repeating the sentiment that missing is easier than letting down.
I knew from the start I was from the wrong side of town
Recalling the awareness of being from an incompatible background.
You told me I was different, we were two of a kind
Affirming perceived similarities despite differences.
You got the only heart like mine
Reiterating the exclusivity of the person's heart.
