Valentine
Ready Revolution Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And all I'll ever get is all I'll never get
If I stay here with you
And I I've been wasting a lifetime
On these city streets in a town that never sleeps
Under covers with you
Valentine in the city I wonder
Do you have the time?
If I leave before the light will you call me again?
Will you call me again?
Will you call me again?
I I've been breaking the guidelines
And all these city lights are dying every night
I hold a candle with you
Oh and you you prayed for me for the first time
The cross I never wear is stained from this affair
Under the covers with you
Valentine in the city I wonder
Do you have the time?
Will you let me come over
If I leave before the light will you call me again?
Memories of the river we walked there
Underneath the trees and you swore you were mine
But if I leave before the dawn will you call me again?
I remember every kiss
How'd it ever come to this?
Now I'm worried like I'm never gonna find another
Never gonna find another
That makes me feel the way that you do
The way that you do
Valentine in the city I wonder
Do you have the time?
Will you let me come over
If I leave before the light will you call me again?
Will you call me again?
Will you call me again?
Call me again

The singer has been waiting patiently for a long time, but realizes that they will never get what they truly desire if they continue to stay in the current situation. They feel as though they have wasted a lifetime on the bustling city streets of a town that never sleeps, in a relationship that is not fulfilling.

The singer reflects on breaking the guidelines and going against societal norms, perhaps in pursuit of true love. They describe the dying city lights as a metaphor for fading hope and diminishing chances. Despite the obstacles, the singer holds onto a candle of hope, figuratively representing their willingness to continue the relationship.
The mention of the cross adds a religious element to the lyrics, suggesting a connection between faith and the complexities of the relationship. The cross, which is stained from the affair, signifies the singer's guilt or inner turmoil.

The lyrics also touch on bittersweet memories of the river they walked together, emphasized by the reference to trees and the claim of ownership ("you swore you were mine"). This memory serves as a reminder of a time when they felt connected and loved. The singer questions if their counterpart would call them again if they were to leave before the dawn, highlighting their fear of being forgotten or not desired anymore.
In the final verse, the singer expresses their worries about never finding another person who could make them feel the same way. They remember every kiss and reflect on how their current situation has led to this uncertainty. The repetition of the question "Will you call me again?" emphasizes their longing for a sense of confirmation and reassurance.
Overall, the lyrics of "Valentine" delve into the complexities of a relationship that is not fulfilling, exploring themes of longing, uncertainty, and fear of being forgotten. It portrays a sense of desperate yearning for a meaningful connection and the fear of never finding that again.

I've been waiting a long time
I have been patiently anticipating for a significant duration
And all I'll ever get is all I'll never get
The only outcomes I will receive are the ones that will never be fulfilled
If I stay here with you
If I remain in this situation alongside you
I've been wasting a lifetime
I have been squandering many years
On these city streets in a town that never sleeps
Navigating through the busy urban streets of a city that is always bustling
Under covers with you
In the safety and intimacy of our shared embrace
Valentine in the city I wonder
My beloved in this urban environment, I question
Do you have the time?
Are you willing to spare some moments for me?
Will you let me come over
Are you open to allowing me to visit you?
If I leave before the light will you call me again?
In the event that I depart prior to daybreak, will you contact me once more?
Will you call me again?
Would you be willing to reach out to me once more?
I've been breaking the guidelines
I have been disregarding the established rules and norms
And all these city lights are dying every night
Each night, the brightness of the city lights diminishes
I hold a candle with you
I embrace a flickering flame alongside you
You prayed for me for the first time
For the initial time, you engaged in a prayer on my behalf
The cross I never wear is stained from this affair
The religious emblem that I never adorn is tarnished as a result of our illicit relationship
Memories of the river we walked there
Recollections of the moments we strolled by the river
Underneath the trees and you swore you were mine
Beneath the shade of the trees, you made a solemn promise that you belonged to me
But if I leave before the dawn will you call me again?
However, if I depart prior to daybreak, will you contact me once more?
I remember every kiss
I retain vivid memories of each and every kiss
How'd it ever come to this?
How did we end up in this unfavorable situation?
Now I'm worried like I'm never gonna find another
Presently, I am anxious as if I will never encounter someone else
That makes me feel the way that you do
Someone who evokes the same emotions within me as you do
Valentine in the city I wonder
My beloved in this urban environment, I question
Do you have the time?
Are you willing to spare some moments for me?
Will you let me come over
Are you open to allowing me to visit you?
If I leave before the light will you call me again?
In the event that I depart prior to daybreak, will you contact me once more?
Will you call me again?
Would you be willing to reach out to me once more?
Will you call me again?
Would you be willing to reach out to me once more?
Call me again
Please contact me once more
