LOVE AGAIN
Curly Heads Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You've built a wall I cannot break
I need to step aside and give you some time to think, I know
If everything's so hard how did we make it here
Just let me get my underwear
Your name is is Alabama and my name is Monroe, I know
She said: "Well, it sucks if we are just friends"
There's so much here to say but I'm all outta' words, I know
Downside I see the downside of the road
The one we should take just on our own
You thought the answer's coming home
There's no really point hiding in the shades forever
We're smiling through the tears holding our hands
She said: Well it sucks if we're nothing more but than friends"
There's so much here to say but I'm all outta' words, I know
Downside I see the downside of the road
The one we should take just on our own
You thought the answer will never home
Anyway we will love again, again, again
Anyway we will love again, again, again
The lyrics of Curly Heads's song "Love Again" tells the story of a couple going through a rough patch in their relationship, where the singer expresses his remorse over hurtful words he spoke and acknowledges that he needs to give his partner space and time to think. The imagery of a wall that he cannot break and his need to step aside, emphasizes his realization that the situation is beyond his control. The line "If everything's so hard how did we make it here" highlights the irony of how difficult it can be to make a relationship work.
The chorus, "We're smiling through the tears holding our hands, she said 'Well, it sucks if we're just friends'", perfectly encapsulates the conflicting emotions that the couple is experiencing – they are trying to hold on to what they have, yet there's a sense of disappointment and sadness because they don't want their relationship to be reduced to just friendship. The singer acknowledges that the situation is complex and there's so much to say, but he's at a loss for words.
The second verse refers to the downside of the road that they should take on their own, away from each other, even though the singer's partner had initially thought that the answer was in them coming back together. The song ends on an optimistic note though, with the line "Anyway, we will love again, again, again" suggesting that despite the difficult situation they are in now, they will find love again, even if it's not with each other.
