Love Under Fire
Love's Resilience: A Working Man's Heart in the Face of Adversity
Lyrics
She got the heart
Expressing admiration for a woman.
She got the heart of the working man
Highlighting the woman's connection to the working class.
It's not hard to understand
Emphasizing the simplicity of understanding her.
She got the love
Stating she has the love of the working man.
She got the love of the working man
Reiterating her connection to the working class.
She wears it high upon her sleeve
Describing how openly she displays her love.
Deep in the heart of this working land
Referring to the deep connection in the working land.
They say the streets are paved with gold
Exploring the belief that opportunities are abundant.
And ever man had his mission
Highlighting each person's purpose or goal.
Then after all the stories are told
After hearing various life stories.
The only thing I've got to hold
Expressing that love is the only valuable possession.
Our love is under fire tonight
Indicating a challenging moment in the relationship.
But you know it's not to be forgotten
Stressing the enduring nature of their love.
She's seen this place before
Reflecting on past difficulties.
Where do you stop it?
Pondering how to stop problems.
Stop the leaking, this is ship to shore
Using a metaphor for relationship challenges (ship to shore).
Down to zero and then back for more
Describing a cycle of challenges and resilience.
Do you miss me?
Raising a question about being missed in the relationship.
She doesn't even know your name
Emphasizing a lack of recognition or acknowledgment.
We can rise from this
Encouraging the idea of overcoming difficulties.
Likes ashes to diamonds
Comparing overcoming challenges to a transformation.
Like a soldier from a kiss
Referring to resilience arising from a romantic moment.
Milk and honey, or the grapes of wrath
Presenting contrasting images of prosperity and hardship.
You don't walk a thousand miles
Emphasizing commitment by walking a long distance.
Just to get yourself turned back
Warning against giving up on the relationship.
Don't you fade on me now
Urging not to lose determination or commitment.
Can't you see
Asking for awareness and understanding.
We can take it is degrees
Suggesting that challenges can be overcome gradually.
Nor rhyme nor reason or fame nor gold
Listing factors that cannot influence a decision.
Could make you change your mind, your heart, your soul
Emphasizing the immutability of certain aspects.
Our love is under fire tonight
Reiterating the challenging situation in the relationship.
You know it's not to be forgotten
Reaffirming the lasting nature of their love.
Our love is on the wire tonight
Indicating the precariousness of the situation.
But It'll never be broken (repeat)
Asserting that their love will endure despite challenges.
You might look the other way
Suggesting the possibility of looking away from problems.
And then turn again someday when you'll remember
Hinting at the inevitability of remembering the relationship.
It'll never, never be broken
Stating the unwavering nature of their love.
Our love is under fire tonight
Reiterating the challenging situation in the relationship.
You know it's not to be forgotten
Stressing the enduring nature of their love.
