Moment of Weakness
Rediscovering Love: A Journey Through Moments of Weakness
Lyrics
Bad luck's been dogging me
Experiencing a streak of misfortune.
but tonight I'm going to see it through
Determined to face and overcome the challenges tonight.
going to hop right into that car of mine
Intending to get into a car and drive to a specific destination.
and come driving round to you
Heading towards the person the singer wants to meet.
we'll meet up in the same old place
Planning to meet at a familiar location.
we met a hundred times before
Revisiting a place they have met many times before.
and we'll eat in the same restaurant
Choosing the same restaurant for their meeting.
and talk the same old talk.
Expecting to engage in familiar conversation.
And if you want to know what happened to me
Open to sharing recent experiences.
and if you want to know what I did
Willing to discuss personal actions.
I telephoned in a moment of weakness
Mentioning a vulnerable moment of weakness involving a telephone call.
I telephoned in a moment of weakness
Reiterating the act of making a vulnerable phone call.
I'd been feeling lonely lately
Feeling lonely recently.
but then the wheels were running slow
Overcoming a slow period and regaining momentum.
afraid to talk to strangers
Being hesitant to interact with unfamiliar people.
and even the people that I know.
Feeling distant even from known acquaintances.
I look around and all I see
Observing a society of private individuals with concealed lives.
is private people, private lives
---
that was why I thought that we
Suggesting a reason for revisiting a relationship.
should maybe try it one more time.
Optimistic about giving their connection another chance.
I was going to look around for something exciting
Planning to seek excitement and variety.
see what I could pick up on the run
Exploring opportunities spontaneously.
take a chance on mother luck and spread my horizons
Taking risks and expanding perspectives.
see what else could be done.
Exploring new possibilities.
I was going to be as free as the breeze
Aspiring for freedom and embracing the vastness of life.
and the moon and the stars and the sun.
---
Well I want to tell you that it's true for me
Asserting the truth about the singer's perception of love.
that love is and love was
Reflecting on the enduring nature of love.
and if I seemed indifferent
Indicating a past demeanor of indifference.
well then that was just because
Explaining that indifference was not reflective of true feelings.
so don't give me no hard times
Advising against causing difficulties.
don't let your pride rule your head
Cautioning against letting pride interfere.
I just picked up the telephone
Recalling the act of making a significant phone call.
and now you tell me that it's dead.
Receiving unexpected news about the phone's status.
