Lyrics
On the corner of my life
Reflecting on a pivotal moment in life
The road leads in two directions
Life offers two paths or choices
One that's proved with satisfactions
One path is proven and brings satisfaction
The other one's leading right to you
The other path leads to a person (possibly a romantic interest)
And for the first time I stood still
Experiencing a moment of profound stillness
'Cause I'd never been so lonely
Feeling unprecedented loneliness
Should I try to love you only
Contemplating whether to love only the person in question
Or should I have to be alone
Facing the choice of being alone
And (yes) I tried to run away my love
Attempting to escape from love
But you're callin' each day my love
Receiving persistent calls of love
And where the streets seem slippy and bare
Describing challenging and uncertain situations
Look at me I'll be fallin' down
Expressing vulnerability and the possibility of falling
Don't know what I can do
Feeling unsure about what to do
Simply to be with you
Desiring simplicity to be with the person
On the corner of my life
Returning to the crucial moment in life
Children press their little noses
Observing the innocence of children
Against a window pane with roses
Children fascinated by a window with roses
And a bar where music played
Referencing a place with music
Oh I must have been a child
Reflecting on a past, possibly youthful, experience
'Cause it took so long I'd chosen
Choosing took a considerable amount of time
I'm glad the barman said: "I'm closin'"
Grateful for a timely intervention, possibly by the barman
So I walked right up to you
Approaching the person of interest
And (yes) I tried to run away my love
Repeating the attempt to escape from love
But you're callin' each day my love
Continuing to receive persistent calls of love
And where the streets seem slippy and bare
Describing challenging and uncertain situations (repeated)
