Lyrics
I could just dream of this fair love
I desire a love that seems ideal but may never be mine.
That maybe I will never have
Expressing uncertainty about ever attaining this love.
Cause every word that you choose
The words chosen by the other person create a barrier.
They keep me from you
Those words are keeping the speaker away from the person they desire.
So, what do I have to think when
Questioning what thoughts are appropriate when faced with the situation.
You spend all your time bringing back
The person spends time reminiscing about memories that couldn't endure.
Memories that couldn't last
Reflecting on past memories that were not lasting.
And why is our love holding still
Wondering why the love isn't progressing despite the conflicts.
If we're only fighting to win
Suggesting that the fights in the relationship should lead to growth.
These memories are fading fast
Noting that memories are fading away quickly.
You had your chance now your time is up
Declaring that the person had an opportunity, but it has passed.
You'd better leave now your time is up
Advising the person to leave now as their chance is over.
You had your chance now
Reiterating that the person had an opportunity.
You had your chance now
Repeating the notion that time is up.
Time is up
Emphasizing that time has run out for the person.
You had your chance now
Reiterating the idea that the person's chance has passed.
You had your chance now
Repeating the statement that time is up.
Time is up
Underlining that time is no longer on the person's side.
I couldn't hear when my mum said
Recalling advice from the speaker's mother to move on from these emotions.
Just leave these feelings to the past
Acknowledging the difficulty of leaving these feelings behind.
Now if I had to be true
If truthful, the speaker would depart without the person they desire.
I would leave without you
Expressing a willingness to leave the situation behind.
So, what do I have to think when
Reiterating the confusion about what thoughts to have in this situation.
You spend all your time bringing back
The person spends time revisiting memories that were not enduring.
Memories that couldn't last
Reflecting on memories that failed to withstand the test of time.
And why is our love holding still
Questioning why love is stagnant despite the conflicts.
If we're only fighting to win
Suggesting that the purpose of the fights should be growth.
These memories are fading fast
Observing that memories are rapidly disappearing.
You had your chance now your time is up
Repeating the assertion that the person's time is up.
You'd better leave now your time is up
Advising the person to leave immediately as their chance is over.
You had your chance now
Reiterating that the person had an opportunity.
You had your chance now
Repeating the statement that time is up.
Time is up
Emphasizing that time has run out for the person.
You had your chance now
Reiterating the idea that the person's chance has passed.
You had your chance now
Repeating the statement that time is up.
Time is up
Underlining that time is no longer on the person's side.
I could just dream of this fair love
I desire a love that seems ideal but may never be mine (repeated from line 1).
That maybe I will never have
Expressing uncertainty about ever attaining this love (repeated from line 2).
And my heart's breaking in two
The speaker's heart is breaking, anticipating the person they're waiting for (repeated from line 49).
Just waiting for you
Expressing the emotional state of waiting for the person they desire (repeated from line 50).
