Gene Kelly
Dancing Through Heartache: A Rainy Street Love Tale
Lyrics
You and me on a little rainy street
You and I are together on a small, rainy street
At four in the morning
It's four in the morning
Beneath a sailor's warning
Under a warning indicating bad weather for sailors
You danced just like Gene Kelly
You danced in a manner reminiscent of Gene Kelly, a legendary dancer and actor
And I finally felt ready
This dancing made me feel prepared or ready for something
To tell you that I loved you there and then
I expressed my love for you at that moment
Til it rained again
Until it started raining again
Rosy eyes kept me hopeful, left you wise
Your rosy eyes kept me optimistic, but you gained wisdom
A gambler in the making
You were becoming a gambler
All I had was yours for taking
Everything I had was available for you to take
What you took, I did not care
I didn't mind what you took
Have my robes and cut my hair
Offering my possessions, even my identity
How I wondered what your smile looked like up close
I wondered about the details of your smile up close
Now it's all I know
Now, your smile is all I know
And it hurts
This situation causes pain
To wonder if we could have made this work
Reflecting on whether our relationship could have succeeded is painful
Yes it hurts
Realizing the lessons I've learned is painful
To realise the lessons that I've learned
Refers to the pain of recognizing the consequences of past actions
You and I on a park bench in July
You and I sitting on a park bench in July
We couldn't stand the silence
We couldn't tolerate the silence
So we filled it with defiance
So we filled the silence with defiance
You talked in absolutes
You spoke in certainties or absolutes
The space between us grew
The distance between us increased
Still, I only knew myself in terms of you
I only understood myself in relation to you
And it hurts
This situation is painful
To know that we're more trouble than it's worth
Knowing that we bring more trouble than it's worth is painful
Yes it hurts
Reflecting on the bridges we burned is painful
To revisit all the bridges that we burned
Revisiting the consequences of our actions is painful
All this reigniting old wounds that never really healed
Stirring up old wounds that never truly healed
Peeling back the laughter to find what it concealed
Uncovering the truth behind the laughter
I've heard it said that heartaches are reminders we're still real
Heartaches serve as reminders of our genuine emotions
You and me on a little rainy street
Back to you and me on a rainy street at 4 AM
At four in the morning
Repeating the setting from the beginning
