Water Under The Bridge
Sara Farell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Then how come I can bring you to your knees
If you're not the one for me
Why do I hate the idea of being free?
And if I'm not the one for you
You've gotta stop holding me the way you do
if I'm not the one for you
Why have we been through what we have been through
It's so cold out here in your wilderness
I want you to be my keeper
But not if you are so reckless
If you're gonna let me down, let me down gently
Don't pretend that you don't want me
Our love ain't water under the bridge
If you're gonna let me down, let me down gently
Don't pretend that you don't want me
Our love ain't water under the bridge
Oh oh oh
Say that our love ain't water under the bridge
What are you waiting for?
You never seem to make it through the door
And who are you hiding from?
It ain't no life to live like you're on the run
Have I ever asked for much?
The only thing that I want is your love
If you're gonna let me down, let me down gently
Don't pretend that you don't want me
Our love ain't water under the bridge
If you're gonna let me down, let me down gently
Don't pretend that you don't want me
Our love ain't water under the bridge
oh oh oh
Say that our love ain't water under the bridge
It's so cold out here in your wilderness
I want you to be my keeper
But not if you are so reckless
If you're gonna let me down, let me down gently
Don't pretend that you don't want me
Our love ain't water under the bridge
If you're gonna let me down, let me down gently
Don't pretend that you don't want me
Our love ain't water under the bridge
oh oh oh
Say that our love ain't water under the bridge
The lyrics of Sara Farell's song 'Water Under the Bridge' seems to be about the end of a romantic relationship. In the first verse, the singer is questioning why they still have so much influence and power over their partner after the relationship has ended. Despite knowing that the person is not right for them, the singer's partner is still holding on to them, leaving the singer perplexed. The emotional attachment to the relationship is too strong for both parties to let go, and the singer is unsure of the reason why.
As the song progresses, the chorus repeats the message that the love shared between the two of them is not just water under the bridge. This line suggests that the love they shared won't disappear without consequences, and the singer is pleading with their partner not to end the relationship without care. The singer sings that they want their partner to let them down gently if they decide to end things, which suggests that the relationship still matters a lot to them.
Furthermore, the lyrics talk about the conflict the singer feels when dealing with the emotional turmoil of the relationship. The singer wants their partner to be their keeper, but not if they are so reckless. They want the relationship to work, but their partner's indecisiveness about making a decision that would affect both of them makes it challenging for the singer. It's a cry for a lover not to abandon them and the relationship that they both have invested time and emotion in.
