If Only
Love's Labyrinth: Navigating Emotions in The Calling's 'If Only'
Lyrics
What's the way of love?
Questioning the nature of love, seeking understanding.
Tell me your fiction
Asking for a narrative or story about love.
Tell me your lies
Requesting honesty, wanting to know the truth.
Say to me now you'll never forget this night
Desiring a commitment to remember a special night.
I'm feeling emotionless
Expressing a lack of emotion.
My head's so clear
Feeling clear-headed and focused.
My enemies aren't the ones I fear
Fearful of non-obvious enemies.
You know your kiss confuses
Noting confusion caused by a kiss.
This troubling soul
Describing a troubled soul affected by the kiss.
And I found out
Discovery of the universal theme of heartbreak.
That we're all breaking hearts
Acknowledging the tendency to break others' hearts.
That we're all broken hearts
Recognizing the prevalence of broken hearts.
If only love could find us all
Expressing a wish for universal love.
If only hearts didn't have to fall
Desiring a world where hearts don't suffer.
We can't mislead to make things right
Rejecting deception as a means to resolve issues.
So instead we'll sleep alone tonight
Choosing solitude over misleading actions.
What's the way of love
Repeating the question about the nature of love.
You are thinking I'm crazy
Addressing perceptions of craziness and desire.
But you're blushing of lust
Noting blushing as a response to lust.
I've heard a lot of nice things
Questioning the sincerity of compliments.
But tell me which ones I'm to trust
Seeking trustworthy compliments.
These wall we made are glass
Metaphorically describing fragile barriers.
And they have been known to crack
Recognizing the vulnerability of constructed barriers.
But until then
Enduring until the barriers break.
You'll keep pushing my way
Describing a persistent pursuit.
And I'll keep pushing you away
Reciprocating by pushing away.
If only love could find us all
Reiterating the desire for universal love.
If only hearts didn't have to fal
Wishing for a world without heartfalls.
We can't mislead to make things right
Rejecting deception for resolution.
So instead we'll sleep alone tonight
Choosing solitude over misleading actions.
If you want to take a chance
Encouraging taking a chance to make things right.
And try to make things right
Advocating for efforts to correct mistakes.
You better have a reason to be loved
Emphasizing the need for a valid reason for love.
We all want something more
Recognizing the universal desire for more.
And it is worth fighting for
Stating that some things are worth fighting for.
If only love could find us all
Expressing the wish for universal love.
If only hearts didn't have to fall
Desiring a world without heartfalls.
We can't mislead to make things right
Rejecting deception for resolution.
So instead we'll sleep alone tonight
Choosing solitude over misleading actions.
And if fate were in my hands
Contemplating control over fate.
Would it be enough to understand
Questioning whether understanding would be enough.
Why we feel lost in a world so small
Reflecting on feeling lost in a small world.
If only love could find us all
Reiterating the wish for universal love.
