Suits Me, Suits You
Echoes of Love and Discord: Tom Robinson Band's Emotional Journey
Lyrics
Meeting up in a timewarp
Coming together in a nostalgic or outdated way
Dreaming pie in the sky
Having unrealistic dreams or ambitions
All too soon we change our tune
We quickly change our opinions or attitudes
And don't see eye to eye
Disagreeing, not seeing things from the same perspective
Raking over the embers
Revisiting past experiences or memories
Trying to fan up a flame
Attempting to revive an old passion or interest
Ten years on the heat has gone
After a decade, the passion or intensity has faded
But the sparks start flying again
Conflict or tension arises once more unexpectedly
I hoped we could live and let live
Hoping for mutual tolerance and acceptance
You soon shattered the spell
Someone disrupts the positive atmosphere
Looks like love is not enough
Love alone isn't sufficient for the relationship
We know each other too well
Knowing each other too deeply creates challenges
Trust me... trust you
An appeal for mutual trust
Trust me... trust you
An insistence on reciprocal trust
One last chance to start over
A final opportunity to start anew
A final bite at the cake
A last attempt at reconciliation
We made our stand, played our hand
Both sides took a stance, but it's too little too late
But it's way too little too late
Efforts to reconcile are insufficient because of the delay
Too much suspicion and bitching
Excessive distrust and petty arguments
Too many wearying games
Engaging in tiresome, repetitive conflicts
Time and tide have passed us by
Time has passed while the relationship remained stagnant
While we drive each other insane
Mutual interactions drive each other crazy
Same old arrogance on my side
Continuation of previous arrogance
Same old stupid mistakes
Repeating past foolish errors
Same old jealousy on your side
Repeated jealousy from one side
Same old slap in the face
Receiving the same hurt or insult repeatedly
Trust me... trust you
Emphasizing the need for mutual trust
Trust me... trust you
Reiterating the plea for reciprocal trust
There's nothing that I could try to be or do
No action or change would satisfy the other person
Would make my behaviour seem okay to you
Efforts to improve behavior aren't appreciated or acknowledged
Same old arrogant behaviour
Repeating the same arrogant behavior
Same old stupid mistakes...
Continuing to make identical foolish errors
Same old terror and resentment
Perpetuating fear and resentment in the same pattern
Same unbelievable waste...
Wasting time and potential in a repeated manner
Trust me... trust you
Stressing the need for mutual trust once again
Trust me... trust you
Reemphasizing the importance of reciprocal trust
