Lyrics
There was a girl I knew
Introduces a girl from the past.
She said she cared about me
She claimed to care for the speaker.
She tried to make my world
She attempted to shape the speaker's world as she envisioned.
The way she thought it should be
Describes the girl's desire to influence the speaker's life.
Yeah we were desperate then
Reflects on a period of desperation for connection.
To have each other to hold
Expresses a mutual longing to be together.
But love is a long long road
Highlights the challenging nature of love.
Yeah love is a long long road
Reiterates that love is a difficult and enduring journey.
There were so many times
Recalls various instances of waking up late.
I would wake up at noon
Emphasizes a pattern of waking up around noon.
Yeah, with my head spinning 'round
Describes feeling disoriented or overwhelmed.
I would wait for the moon
Waiting for the night, possibly seeking solace or clarity.
And give her one more chance
Giving the relationship another chance despite challenges.
To try and save my soul
Attempting to rescue the speaker's inner self.
But love is a long long road
Reiterates the arduous nature of love.
Yeah love is a long long road
Confirms that love is a challenging and lengthy journey.

Some things are difficult to relinquish.
Some things are hard to let go

I guess I only can hope
The speaker remains hopeful despite challenges.
For maybe one more chance
Expresses the desire for another opportunity.
To try and save my soul
Reiterates the attempt to salvage the speaker's essence.
But love is a long road
Confirms that love is a lengthy journey.
Yeah love is a long long road
Reaffirms the enduring nature of love.
Love is a long long road

Yeah love is a long long road
Continued emphasis on the difficulties of love.
Oh
