Lyrics
Ain't it always true the one you really want
Acknowledging the universal truth that the person one truly desires is often distant or unavailable.
Is far away from you on another's arm
Expressing the frustration of seeing the desired person with someone else.
Ain't it always true
Reiterating the recurring nature of the mentioned truth.
Ain't it always hard to look on from distance
Highlighting the difficulty of observing from a distance, metaphorically serving time in emotional confinement.
Sunning her yard's still serving time in prison
Suggesting that the person is metaphorically imprisoned or restricted even while enjoying mundane activities like sunning her yard.
Ain't it always
Reaffirming the consistent nature of the mentioned challenges.
I know, I know
Admitting understanding of the situation or emotion.
Love doesn't need to be the game I chose play
Reflecting on the idea that love should not be approached as a game but acknowledging the difficulty of this.
Ain't it always?
Pondering on the recurring nature of the challenges in love.
Don't it feel mean our love came
Describing the emotional pain of realizing that the love is not physically present.
If she's not standing next to me
Expressing a desire for the loved one to be close, highlighting the absence of their presence.
I hope that no one is standing next to her
Expressing concern for the well-being of the desired person when not in close proximity.
Don't it feel mean
Reiterating the emotional pain of being separated from the one you love.
I know I know
Repeating the acknowledgment that love should not be treated as a game, despite the challenges.
Love doesn't need to be the game I chose play
Reiterating the idea that love shouldn't be approached as a game, but acknowledging the difficulties.
Ain't it always?
Reflecting on the recurring nature of challenges in the context of love.
I know, I know
Repeating the understanding that love should not be treated as a game, emphasizing awareness of the difficulty.
Love doesn't need to be the game I chose to play
Acknowledging the challenges of navigating love but still recognizing its recurrent nature.
But ain't it always?
Pondering on the consistent challenges in the game of love.
