Lover
Bob E. Rock Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the middle of the night
Not knowing where you going
Gone and out of sight
Where do we go from here?
My love won’t just disappear
Want to fix it, cos I miss it
Tell me what do you want?
Cos I’m not just giving up
We halfway there a little stuck
Can I call it lover’s luck?
Tell me what do you want?
Cos I’m not just giving up
We halfway there a little stuck
Can I call it lover’s luck?
I know you, like you know me
Inside and out, complicated
We both hate it
But you gotta do what you gotta do
Where do we go from here?
My love won’t just disappear
Want to fix it, cos I miss it
Having you here
Tell me what do you want?
Cos I’m not just giving up
We halfway there a little stuck
Can I call it lover’s luck?
Tell me what do you want?
Cos I’m not just giving up
We halfway there a little stuck
Can I call it lover’s luck?
No matter how far you go
I’m the only place you call home
You're not alone, you're not alone
My love for you is set in stone
Tell me what do you want?
Cos I’m not just giving up
We halfway there a little stuck
Can I call it lover’s luck?
Tell me what do you want?
Cos I’m not just giving up
We halfway there a little stuck
Can I call it lover’s luck?

Line by Line Meaning
Fun may be fun
Having fun is entertaining but it is meaningless when the person you love is missing
But it's not when the one
But it is not exciting when the person
That you love has gone
You care about has departed
I try to sleep
I attempt to sleep
But the counting of sheep
But the process of counting imaginary sheep
Goes on and on
Continues endlessly
Without your kiss
Not having been kissed by you
I just cannot exist
I cannot survive
From the night til dawn
From dusk to dawn
Lover, lover, lover
My sweetheart, my sweetheart, my sweetheart
Come back
Return to me
You had me where
You had me at a place where
I was walking on air
I was walking feeling happy
Never touched the ground
I was so happy that I felt like I was floating
Now I have learned
But now I realize
There's a torch to be burned
There is a fire to be ignited
Since you're not around
Since you are not here
I'm gonna place
I am going to put
An ad in the space
A piece of writing in the gap
Under lost and found
Categorized as gone and located
I'm like a birdy without it's wings
I'm like a bird without feathers on it's wings
Like a pupper without it's strings
Like a dog without it's leash
I'm not anything without you my love
I am nothing without your affection
Thinking about you
Pondering over you
And being without you
And lacking your presence
Is what it took
Is what caused me to realize
Now I'm all set
Now I'm ready
Gonna go out and get you
Going outside to grab you
By hook or crook
By any means necessary
Whoever said they
Anyone who has stated
Like crawling in bed
Enjoy lying in bed softly
With a real good book
While reading a fantastic book
I've made my conclusion
I've come to a decision
I know what I lack
I know what I am missing
There's no substitution
There is no alternative
So please hurry back
So, hurry come back to me
Lover, lover, lover
My sweetheart, my sweetheart, my sweetheart
Lover, lover, come on back
Return to me, my sweetheart, please come back
Come on back
Please return to me
