Love in Retrograde
Air Dubai Lyrics

Summer ends with the colors fading when
The end of summer signifies the end of love and happiness.

The rain drops all the love away again
The rain serves as a metaphor for events that sabotaged their relationship.

Heartache was an understatement, and
The pain was intense and beyond words.

Letting it go was too much to take it in
The decision to let go of their relationship was overwhelming.

I'm so through with the trust issues
The frequent issues with trust have exhausted and drained the artist.

'Cause loving you was nothing new, and
Their love had become routine and lacked passion.

No matter what the broken promise is
Despite broken promises, they both know what the only option is.

We both know what our only option is
Both of them are aware that it's time to move on.

And we were so in love that I
Their love was once so strong that the artist is unable to express its magnitude.

Just can't even begin to say
Words are insufficient to describe the depth of their love.

How much I would have given up
The singer was willing to give up almost anything for their partner.

To have you in our wonder age
The artist wished to have their partner back during the time when their relationship was at its best.

I know that it will take practice
Rebuilding their relationship will not be easy.

But I'll hold back if I want to have this
The singer acknowledges that holding back will be necessary for the success of their renewed relationship.

Quality love, but it felt so low-fi
Their love was once high-quality, but now it feels obsolete and outdated.

And this I've never dealt with, so I...
Dealing with such feelings of love and loss is new to the artist.

Push 'till it turns to dust
The artist is willing to fight for their relationship until it falls apart completely.

Love 'till it burns too much
The love burns like fire, but the singer is willing to endure the pain.

With my body aflame
The singer will let the flames of passion consume them completely.

You'll know that you are loved
The actions of the artist will show their partner that they are loved.

And I keep going, I keep on moving
The artist will not stop or give up on their partner.

I can't stop for a love so fluid
The artist is unwilling to let their love disappear so easily.

I can't help but to feel so stupid
The singer feels foolish for not holding on to their love tighter.

But the truth is that our love was elusive
Their love was hard to capture and failed to stay.

New chick, but I wont forget her
Although there may be new love interests, the singer will not forget their previous partner.

Two sides to a broken picture
Their relationship has two sides, both of which contributed to the breakup.

Memories just don't depict her
The memories of their relationship do not do justice to their partner.

I know I'll get hurt but my heart is with her
Even though the artist knows they may get hurt again, their heart still belongs to their partner.

Stop, wait, what to do
The artist is unsure of what actions to take concerning their love.

I can't not be in love with you
The singer cannot stop loving their partner.

I just don't know what is true
The singer is uncertain about what is real or true in their relationship.

'Cause how I feel is something new
The artist's feelings are new and unexpected.

It makes no sense for us to pretend we've
There's no point in pretending that their relationship is something that it isn't.

Loved enough to not feel empty
Loving each other wasn't enough to prevent feeling empty inside.

I've given all I had to give
The singer has given everything they have to their partner.

To keep our love alive, and then we...
Despite their efforts, their love still failed.

That you are loved
The singer wants their partner to know that they are loved.

Give you all of me
The singer is willing to give their partner all of themselves.

You are all I need
The singer believes that their partner is all they need in life.

And I will follow you till you say that it's enough
The artist will follow their partner until they call it quits.

And I will give you all of me and cover you with love
The artist will express their love and devotion to their partner.
