Lost Cause
Navigating Love's Uncertainty: Lost Cause by Stray Currents
Lyrics
We get along in the night time
We connect and get along during the night hours.
Fall apart come the morning light
We experience a breakdown or separation as daylight arrives.
We're not fooling anyone
We're not deceiving anyone about the nature of our relationship.
It's not a fairy tale love
Our love isn't a perfect, idealized fairy tale.
But if I were given the choice
If given the option, I would choose you every time.
I would take you every time
Reinforcing the desire to choose the person repeatedly.
But what are we if not a lost cause
Questioning the worth or significance of the relationship, implying it may be futile.
Just making it up as we go along
Describing the relationship as improvised or figured out as it progresses.
And what would it matter if that's all it was
Asking if it matters if the relationship is solely based on improvisation.
If all we were was a lost cause
Questioning the value of the relationship if it's deemed a lost cause.
You might not be the one
Suggesting the person might not be the ultimate or perfect match.
And we might not last too long
Implying uncertainty about the duration of the relationship.
Still I catch you on my mind
Despite uncertainties, thoughts of the person persist.
And I don't really want you gone
Expressing a reluctance to let go of the person.
So if I were given the choice
If given a choice, I'd still choose you every time despite uncertainties.
I would take you every time
Reiterating the desire to consistently choose the person.
But what are we if not a lost cause
Repeating the questioning of the relationship's potential futility.
Just making it up as we go along
Portraying the relationship as continuously evolving without a fixed plan.
And what would it matter if that's all it was
Asking about the significance if the relationship is indeed futile.
If all we were was a lost cause
Questioning the value of a relationship labeled a lost cause.
Hiding out
Hiding or avoiding confronting the potential outcomes of the relationship.
Afraid of what might become of this
Expressing fear or apprehension about what might happen in this relationship.
'Cause we know we're just a lost cause
Admitting awareness that the relationship may be doomed or futile.
But what are we if not a lost cause
Reiterating the uncertainty and potential futility of the relationship.
Just making it up as we go along
Describing the relationship as an ongoing improvisation without a fixed plan.
And what would it matter if that's all it was
Pondering the significance if the relationship is indeed futile.
If all we were was a lost cause
Questioning the worth of a relationship labeled a lost cause.
