Lets Take to Long Way Home
Journeying Through Love's Trials
Lyrics
So tired of this heavy load.
Feeling burdened and exhausted by life's challenges.
I've been carrying it for so long.
Carrying this burden for an extended period, expressing weariness.
I don't know what it wants with me.
Uncertain about the purpose or meaning of the burden.
Lord please let me be.
Seeking divine intervention or guidance to find peace.
Rolling dice on my hotel room bed.
Engaging in risky behavior, possibly reflecting inner turmoil.
"Man, it feels so nice to love some one" she said.
Someone expressing the joy of love, contrasting with the singer's struggles.
"Cause when the evening comes I'm scared to be bad all by myself."
Fearing the loneliness that comes when night falls.
And I know exactly how it feels to be by myself.
Empathizing with the fear of being alone based on personal experience.
And now she's singing,
Transitioning to the perspective of another character.
"Happiness always scared me half to death.
Fearing happiness due to past experiences, expressing vulnerability.
Never had myself no lovin' to caress."
Never having experienced self-love, indicating a lack of affection.
Little darling stop those tears and dry those eyes, I'm a be right here.
Comforting someone, encouraging them to stop crying and assuring presence.
And I'd really love to stay tonight, if you'll have me here.
Expressing a desire to stay the night and be with the person emotionally.
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Repetition, possibly emphasizing a particular emotional moment.
Little girl you know I love you so.
Affirming deep love for the person addressed as "little girl."
Let's take it easy now and simmer down.
Suggesting a need to calm down and relax, encouraging tranquility.
Little girl, let's take the long way home.
Proposing to take a longer and possibly more meaningful path together.
