You Never Know
J. K. Coltrain feat. Nikki Nelson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There was a time that I believed
We'd beat the odds and make a go at love
I thought we'd rewrite history
With Romeo & Juliet next to us
And I know that you thought the same
Saw it in your eyes and felt it in your touch
You never know how it's gonna go with love
You never know how it's gonna go with love
It might go on forever
But that's not up to us
Ol Cupid is a fickle one
Sometimes that arrow won't stay stuck
Just look at us
You never know how it's gonna go with love
Sometimes love is picture perfect
Like a Prince & Princess in a fairy tale
Sometimes love goes on forever
And sometimes it just goes to ... Show
There was a time that I believed
We'd beat the odds and make a go at love
You Never Know How It's Gonna Go With Love

The song "You Never Know" by J. K. Coltrain feat. Nikki Nelson is a reflective and bittersweet tune about the unpredictable nature of love. The lyrics express thoughts of hope and optimism that were once held in the past when the singer believed they could beat the odds and make a go at love with their partner. The singer once thought that they could rewrite history and have a love story like Romeo and Juliet, but both partners learned the hard life lesson that you never know how it's gonna go with love.
The chorus repeats the phrase "You never know how it's gonna go with love" to emphasize the unpredictable nature of love. The singer acknowledges that sometimes love can be picture-perfect like a fairy tale, but other times it just goes to show that love doesn't always last forever. The song is a heartfelt message of acceptance and understanding that love is something that cannot be controlled.
In summary, "You Never Know" is a song that serves as a reminder that love is unpredictable, and no one can predict how it will go. The lyrics paint a picture of a hopeful start with love but end with a realistic realization that it can also end in heartbreak.
