Only the Ones We Love
Eternal Bonds: Embracing Change in Love's Journey
Lyrics
Oh, you can't say nothing to the pouring rain
One cannot communicate anything to the pouring rain; it's futile.
And you can't say nothing till there's hope again
Communication is ineffective until there's a sense of optimism or possibility again.
Say, oh my baby, you must never change
Expressing a desire for a loved one not to change, as they are cherished as they are.
For we're only the ones we love
We are only defined by the people we love.
And I've stood stolen by the pauper's heart
Feeling captivated or enchanted by a poor person's heartfelt emotions or circumstances.
Yes, I've stood stolen where the aching starts
Being emotionally affected or captivated where emotional pain begins.
But the way you watched it's a life apart
Observing someone's reaction to such pain is a wholly different life experience.
For we're only the ones we love
Emphasizing again that our identity is shaped by those we love.
Only, only, you're the only one who could say
Stressing that the addressed person is the only one capable of expressing love in a particular way.
I could love this way, I could love this way
Claiming the ability to love intensely in a specific manner.
Oh, you can't get even with this kind of pain
One cannot seek revenge for this kind of emotional pain.
But to see you steady brings the calm, again
But finding solace in seeing the addressed person stable or unwavering.
Say, oh my baby, let them stay the same
Requesting the loved one to remain unchanged or constant.
For we're only the ones we love
Reiterating that our identity is defined by the ones we love.
And they've seen something which I'll never see
Others have witnessed things that the singer will never experience.
But I dreamed something when you fell for me
However, the singer had a dream or vision when the loved one fell for them.
Yeah, I dreamed something which soars above
Expressing a dream or aspiration that surpasses normal experiences.
For we're only the ones we love, only the ones we love
Reaffirming that our existence is primarily defined by the people we love.
Yes, love, love, this love, love
Repeated emphasis on the significance of love in shaping life.
Oh, I get tired and I get old
Feeling fatigued and aged.
But to see you steady brings a flood of gold
However, seeing the stability of the loved one brings immense happiness or wealth.
Say, oh, my baby, I've been taught and told
Expressing that the singer has been instructed and advised.
We're only the ones we love, only the ones we love
Reiterating that our identity is essentially tied to those we love.
Love, love, this love
Repeating the importance and power of love in life.
