Lyrics Definitions
Our love was evanescent short—lived
it didn't last — vanished fast disappeared
Thought it was incandescent glowing from heat, radiant
always would shine so bright .
Was I so oblique — just so indirect — not straight forward
you couldn't connect with me
maybe too opaque to let your light come through I cloudy, unclear
claim culpability — lay it right here on me guilt
It's blame I deserve, I know
don't act contemptuous full of scorn, disgust
I feel that you value us more than you show —oh—oh
I know how I can be evasive vague, misleading
but I'll tell you straight
I'm keepin' open & I'll learn from the mistakes I make
Unspoken problems can pervade, get into everything
they spread & permeate go everywhere
Gimme half of one more chance & I'll change, oh baby, just you wait
Love can be capricious — a fickle thing — don't you think changeable
Problems get pernicious and harm everything in sight damaging
Coming from compassion sympathy for the suffering of others
I'll build a bridge from love and from empathy
Insidious walls will all come tumbling down evil
I'll make sure complacency, self satisfaction, indifference
won't get the best of me —
what's nurtured through time can grow nourished
I can't guess our destiny —
my soul and the rest of me, can't let you go—oh
I know somehow you'll capitulate give in, surrender
if I can find a way to demonstrate show
that I've reformed, changed
transformed — yeah I see the light.... altered in character
