Start Again
Embracing Change: Unveiling the Complex Dance of Love in 'Start Again'
Lyrics
Well, only the good love survives
Love that possesses positive qualities and endures challenges is the only kind that prevails.
Still I wanted to see this through
Despite difficulties, I desired to see the situation through to the end.
'Cause the word sounded so nice
The idea or promise seemed appealing and comforting.
But some things are just a little too good to be true
However, some things, no matter how promising, may be too good to be true.
So I tell myself that it's okay
In an attempt to cope, I reassure myself that it's acceptable.
'Cause this time things are gonna change
I believe that this time, circumstances will change for the better.
Just know I'm tired and all your words
Expressing weariness, suggesting that repetitive words are losing significance.
Are starting to sound the same
The speaker perceives a lack of uniqueness or sincerity in the communicated messages.
You know that I'll run to you
An acknowledgment of the speaker's tendency to seek refuge or solace in the other person.
Like a man gone blind every time that you call my name
Despite challenges, the speaker responds eagerly and devotedly to the mention of their name.
You know that I'll fall for you
The speaker admits vulnerability to falling in love again, contingent on the other person's decision to restart.
When you decide you want to start again
A declaration of the speaker's willingness to be emotionally involved again if the other person initiates a new beginning.
You were caught up in my head
The other person occupied the speaker's thoughts extensively.
And I went and got swept up in the rush
The speaker became caught up in a hasty and intense experience.
To try and give you all I had
An effort to give one's all in the relationship, but it seems the recipient desired something different.
But I guess you were after something else
Recognition that the partner had different intentions or desires.
So I tell myself that it's okay
Repeating the self-reassurance that change is acceptable and imminent.
'Cause this time things are gonna change
Hopeful anticipation that circumstances will improve this time.
Just know I'm tired and all your words
Reiteration of weariness, indicating a growing sense of monotony in expressed sentiments.
Are starting to sound the same
The repetition of words from the other person seems monotonous or lacking in depth.
You know that I'll run to you
Despite weariness, the speaker is still inclined to seek comfort and connection.
Like a man gone blind every time that you call my name
A simile emphasizing the speaker's eagerness and blindness to challenges when called by the other person.
You know that I'll fall for you
Admission of susceptibility to falling in love, awaiting the other person's decision to restart.
When you decide you want to start again
Expressing readiness to fall in love again if the other person expresses the desire for a fresh start.
You know that I'll run to you
Repetition emphasizing the speaker's habitual response to the other person's call.
Like a man gone blind every time that you call my name
Highlighting the intensity of the emotional response, akin to blindness, upon hearing the other person's name.
You know that I'll fall for you
Admitting vulnerability to falling in love, dependent on the other person's choice to initiate a new beginning.
When you decide you want to start again
Expressing a willingness to engage emotionally again if the other person decides to start anew.
You know that I'll run to you
Reiterating the speaker's habitual response to the other person's call.
Like a man gone blind every time that you call my name
