Lyrics
First of all, I'm sorry
Expressing remorse and apology
For everything we did
Acknowledging actions taken
We never meant to hurt you
Clarifying no intention to cause harm
We never meant to sin
Stating no intention to commit wrongdoing
And now the rules callin'
Reference to external standards or norms
Out our names
Being called out or identified by rules
And now the call is dawnin'
Reference to a crucial moment or realization
Will ever be same
Questioning the possibility of things being the same
But what is love without a little cryin'?
Philosophical view on love involving tears
What is love without desire?
Defining love with an element of desire
What is love without us facing trial?
Posing the necessity of facing challenges in love
What is love without you?
Highlighting the importance of the partner
Temptation caught my eye
Describing the allure of temptation
Couldn't let him just pass by
Choosing not to ignore temptation
Following my instincts
Acting on instinctual impulses
Felt so good to be alive
Feeling a sense of vitality and pleasure
For a moment I forgot myself
Temporary loss of self-awareness
For a moment I was free
Experiencing a moment of freedom
(For a moment I was free)
But what is love without a little cryin'?
Reiteration of the philosophy of love
What is love without desire?
Reaffirming the connection between love and desire
What is love without us facing trial?
Reiterating the inevitability of facing challenges
What is love without you?
Emphasizing the importance of the partner in love
It wasn't planned, the stage was here
Describing an unplanned situation or encounter
Caught in the scene, by chance we met
Meeting someone by chance in a particular setting
Every high has a regret
Recognizing regrets associated with highs
Like Romeo and Juliet
Comparing the situation to Romeo and Juliet
But what is love without a little cryin'?
Repeating the philosophy of love and tears
What is love without us facing trial?
Stressing the inevitability of facing trials in love
But what is love without a little cryin'?
Emphasizing the cyclical nature of love and tears
What is love without desire?
Linking love to the presence of desire
What is love without us facing trial?
Reiterating the necessity of facing challenges
What is love without you?
Reaffirming the significance of the partner in love
