Tea for Two
Elixir of Love: Trading Pain for Tea
Lyrics
Oh my love
Expressing affection or endearment to someone.
I'm drinking alone in the afternoon
Drinking alone during the day.
Oh my God
An exclamation indicating surprise, distress, or awe.
I would trade it all for some tea for two
Expressing a willingness to give up everything for a moment shared over tea.
Baby lets forget the day
Suggesting leaving behind the events of the day.
Sneak off into the night
Escaping together under the cover of darkness.
Lose ourselves in the mystic neon light
Immersing in a mysterious and captivating cityscape.
Baby forget the pain
Encouraging to ignore or forget emotional distress.
Let's cut it off with a knife
Metaphorically suggesting ending emotional pain.
And lose ourselves in the pale fountain of youth tonight
Desiring to feel young and carefree again.
Oh my love
Reiterating affection or endearment.
The Rodeo's all tangled up in blue
Comparing a situation to the confusion of a rodeo.
Oh my God
Expressing surprise, distress, or awe.
Your Romeo's lost in a cowboy tune
Comparing someone's romantic pursuits to a confused situation.
Baby lets forget the day
Proposing to escape from reality.
Sneak off into the night
Escaping under the cover of darkness.
Lose ourselves in the mystic neon light
Immersing in a mysterious and captivating cityscape.
Baby forget the pain
Encouraging to ignore or forget emotional distress.
Let's cut it off with a knife
Metaphorically suggesting ending emotional pain.
And lose ourselves in the pale fountain of youth tonight
Desiring to feel young and carefree again.
Falling, falling, falling
Repetition symbolizing a continuous descent or falling sensation.
Some blind god
Reference to a deity or force suggesting that love isn't the only thing one can lose.
Said love isn't all that you've got to lose
Implying that love is not the only valuable thing that can be lost.
Some blind love
Metaphorically referring to love as blind, unaware of reality.
Is blind as a bat setting for the moon
Describing blind love's pursuit of something unattainable or unreal.
Baby lets forget the day
Proposing again to escape from reality.
Sneak off into the night
Escaping under the cover of darkness.
Lose ourselves in the mystic neon light
Immersing in a mysterious and captivating cityscape.
Baby forget the pain
Encouraging to ignore or forget emotional distress.
Let's cut it off with a knife
Metaphorically suggesting ending emotional pain.
And lose ourselves in the pale fountain of youth tonight
Desiring to feel young and carefree again.
