The Long Run
Love's Evolution: Unraveling the Depths of 'The Long Run'
Lyrics
It's plain to see
Expresses an obvious or evident situation
You won't be there For me
Anticipates that the person won't provide support or be there in times of need
In the long run
Refers to a distant future perspective
In the long run
Reiterates the anticipation of unavailability or lack of support in the long term
It's plain to see
Repeats the observation of a clear situation
You won't play fair with me
Suggests a lack of fairness or honesty in the relationship
In the long run
Reiterates the expectation of unavailability or unfairness in the future
Not in the long run
Emphasizes the prediction of a lack of support or fairness in the long term
You're not the man you used to be
Notes a change in the person's character from the past
The man who fell in love with me
Recalls the time when the person was in love with the speaker
The thought of it makes me crazy
Expresses emotional distress at the idea of the person changing
I'm caught in the trap that brings me back
Describes being ensnared in a repeating cycle that leads back to the person
You're not the man you used to be
Reiterates the change in the person's character
The man who fell in love with me
Recalls the past love and the impact of the person's transformation
The thought of it makes me crazy
Expresses emotional turmoil caused by the changed state of the person
I'm caught in the trap that swings me back to you
Highlights being caught in a repetitive pattern leading back to the person
Oh baby, remember falling in love?
Asks the person to recall the experience of falling in love
Oh baby, didn't we fall in love?
Reiterates the shared experience of falling in love
But now it's clear
Indicates a realization that the person will not be close in the future
That you'll be nowhere near
Reiterates the anticipation of the person's distance in the long run
To the long run
Emphasizes the idea of a distant future perspective
To the long run
Repeats the expectation of the person's unavailability in the long term
It's crystal clear
Underlines the clarity of the situation
That you'll disapear
Suggests the person will vanish or become distant
In the long run
Reiterates the anticipation of the person's disappearance in the long run
Yes, in the long run
Confirms the expectation of the person's absence in the long term
You're not the man you used to be
Repeats the observation of a change in the person's character
The man who fell in love with me
Recalls the past when the person was in love with the speaker
The thought of it makes me crazy
Expresses distress at the changed state of the person
I'm caught in the trap that swings me back to you
Reiterates being caught in a cycle leading back to the transformed person
You're not the man you used to be
Emphasizes the ongoing change in the person's character
The man who fell in love with me
Recalls the past love and the impact of the person's transformation
The thought of it makes me crazy
Expresses emotional turmoil caused by the changed state of the person
I'm caught in the trap that swings me back to you
Highlights being caught in a repetitive pattern leading back to the person
