The Table
Enduring Love: Finding Strength and Resolve in Relationships
Lyrics
Sit down at the table
Suggests coming together for a conversation or discussion.
Had another fight
Referencing a recent argument or disagreement.
Love like this ain't easy
Expresses the difficulty of maintaining this kind of love.
Don't always get it right
Acknowledges that mistakes happen in relationships.
Spent so long pretending
Implying a history of hiding true feelings or thoughts.
Darling ain't you through
Asking if the partner is tired of pretending.
You've got something to tell me
Waiting for the partner to share something important.
I'm waiting here for you
Being patient and ready to listen.
I don't want a love that's on the line
Desiring a love that's honest and not uncertain.
I know there's something on your mind
Recognizing that there's something bothering the partner.
Oh sometimes it's hard but I believe
Despite difficulties, maintaining faith in the relationship.
It's worth all I have to give
Believing that giving everything to the relationship is worthwhile.
There's a lot of fight still left in me
Asserting resilience despite challenges.
And I ain't ready to quit
Not ready to give up despite difficulties.
There's a lot of fight still left in me
Reiterating the determination to keep fighting for the relationship.
And I ain't ready to quit
Stressing the unwillingness to give up.
Glasses in the kitchen
Noting objects that signify daily routines and normalcy.
There's coffee in the pot
Details about the setting, indicating familiarity and comfort.
An empty chair at the table
Highlighting an absence, possibly the partner.
Though it may not mean a lot
Suggesting that the absence matters despite appearances.
There's something there that is hidden
Feeling that something important is being concealed.
The silence tells me so
Interpreting silence as meaningful.
You've got something to tell me
Anticipating important information from the partner.
Maybe something I should know
Suspecting there's crucial information to be shared.
I don't want a love that's on the line
Desire for a secure and committed love, not uncertain.
I know there's something on your mind
Acknowledging the partner's preoccupation with something.
Oh sometimes it's hard but I believe
Believing that difficulties strengthen the relationship.
It's worth all I have to give
Reaffirming dedication to the relationship.
There's a lot of fight still left in me
Asserting resilience and determination.
And I ain't ready to quit
Reiterating the refusal to give up despite challenges.
There's a lot of fight still left in me
Emphasizing persistence and dedication.
And I ain't ready to quit
Continued commitment despite hardships.
Oh and time goes on
Commitment to carry on despite difficulties.
I will carry on
Expressing determination to persevere.
Even though I don't want to tonight
Admitting reluctance but still carrying on.
And the life we shared
Describing the relationship as exposed or vulnerable.
Is left standing bare
Metaphorically comparing the relationship's state to a dimmed sun.
It's like the sun
Using imagery to depict a lack of brightness or joy.
Refuses to shine
Expressing a sense of hopelessness or stagnation.
Sit down at the table
Reiterating the invitation for a conversation.
There's coffee in the pot
Repeating the setting, inviting the partner to join again.
Just let me love you while I'm able
Expressing a desire to love the partner despite uncertainties.
Though it may not mean a lot
Despite the small gesture, wanting to express love.
