What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Thinking back, it seems that I
2
Can lie beside you as I never truly did,
3
In afterglow
4
No afterwards at all.
5
Only writing love songs when it's gone and dead;
6
Only paying words out: strings of half-forgotten sentiments...
7
I mean...
8
I meant...
9
I never really quite could say the way it was.
10
The first time that we met I said 'I bet that she's the one',
11
But I was talking to myself then, as always.
12
As time went by our steps entwined, unwritten lines drew taut
13
And I tried to find a way to make it all safe...
14
Into the play, what a production!
15
Into the days and ever more suction:
16
You hold me close, but hold me farther
17
Away from yourself, I make me a martyr,
18
For pain and love go hand in hand...
19
And hand in hand go you and my friend,
20
You are his and I am yours and just cannot evade you
21
My days a dream, my nights unseemly,
22
Stolen moments all I live for,
23
But theft is no way to persuade you
24
To come with me, leave him behind you
25
My hurtful eyes try to remind you
26
It's all I can do to keep from screaming
27
'I love you, I love you!' I wish I was dreaming,
28
But the steps we take all leave footprints...
29
Sooner or later the whole thing will be blown
30
You will leave him or I'll be left here, alone
31
Either way someone loses someone
32
But I won't mind that, I just would quite like to know
33
Who we love the most, well, I guess that's ourselves
34
The days are strange, at night we're strangers,
35
Lie in bed and lie inside our heads,
36
We come no closer than as dancers
37
Your eyes are change, your presence danger,
38
Won't look me in the face and yet you
39
Kiss and make up the answer
40
To all the questions that fly unanswered, unreasoned
41
Death in the sky, death in the season
42
If you leave me now, it might nearly kill me....
43
Remember me?
44
Remember we three?
45
It all seemed so important at the time,
46
We came so close to wrecking all our lives,
47
And now it's all just song lines
48
Time heals,
49
Time heals
50
Oh, but I still bear the weals
51
Thinking back, it seems that I
52
Can lie beside you as I never truly did,
53
In afterglow
54
No afterwards at all
55
Only writing love songs when it's gone and dead,
56
Only paying words out: streams of half-forgotten sentiments...
57
I mean...
58
I meant...
59
I never really quite could say
60
The way it was
