East of the River
Love Rediscovered: A Journey East of the River
Lyrics
We finally made it to London
We have reached London.
And those New York City streets
Reflecting on experiences in the streets of New York City.
We fell in love on Broadway
Fell in love during experiences on Broadway.
The West End and in between
Love experiences in both the West End and spaces in between.
Your broken bones my aching heart
Your physical pain and my emotional distress.
It's alright baby if you're falling apart
It's okay if you are struggling emotionally.
From all that jealousy
Resulting from jealousy.
While singing melodies
Singing while experiencing jealousy.
Of two sinners in the sheets
Two sinful individuals sharing intimate moments.
It's crazy I know
Recognizing the craziness of the situation.
But something bigger brought you home
A greater force brought the person home.
I waited for you
Waiting for the person to arrive.
And this love we'd never known
A love that was previously unknown.
It's easy to fall when I look in your eyes
Falling easily when looking into each other's eyes.
With Dahlia days and that notorious night
Referencing specific memories ("Dahlia days" and a notorious night).
We fell in love in London
Recalling falling in love in London.
East of the river
Location specificity - east of the river.
We fell all over again
Falling in love once again.
We buried all our mistakes
Burying past mistakes.
In the back seat under the moon
Symbolic act of putting mistakes behind them under the moonlight.
I felt the fire in my bones
Feeling a passionate connection.
Honey I knew you could feel it too
Belief that the other person feels the same passion.
Troubled lovers stranded in sight
Struggling lovers facing challenges.
She called out baby just hold on tight
Encouragement to hold on during difficult times.
We fell in love for the first time
Recalling the first time falling in love.
Every night
Repetition of falling in love every night.
But baby I know
Acknowledging the partner's constant presence.
You could never be alone
Expressing certainty that the partner is never truly alone.
So I waited for you
Waiting for the partner's return.
To click your old red heels for home
Reference to the partner's journey back home.
It's easy to fall when I look in your eyes
Reiteration of the ease of falling in love through eye contact.
With Dahlia days and that notorious night
Recalling specific memories ("Dahlia days" and a notorious night).
We fell in love in London
Reiterating falling in love in London.
East of the river
Location specificity - east of the river.
We fell all over again
Experiencing the feeling of falling in love once again.
Oh but I know
Acknowledging that the person is not truly alone.
I could never be alone
Continuing to wait for the partner.
So I wait for you
Highlighting the distance from home.
You're just a thousand miles from home
Reiterating waiting for the partner and the distance.
It's easy to fall when I look in your eyes
Reiteration of the ease of falling in love through eye contact.
With Dahlia days and that notorious night
Recalling specific memories ("Dahlia days" and a notorious night).
We fell in love in London
Reiterating falling in love in London.
East of the river
Location specificity - east of the river.
We fell all over again
Experiencing the feeling of falling in love once again.
We fell all over again
Reiterating the repeated nature of falling in love.
Lets fall all over again
Expressing a desire to continue falling in love.
