Romance
Spendtime Palace Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But she left her heart somewhere on stump town bridge
While she lays her 2 brown eyes upon my lonely smile
Her lost heart finds its home on stump town bridge
Now take a steak
Don't make mistakes
Don't pack those bags without packing our fate
I dislike to disregard truth
And by the time that clock rolls half past 9
I'm wakin up and shes rollin down the 405
By the time i brush my hair and get my mind in line
Shes so far up that she ain't looking far behind
Now i've been trained to make mistakes
Mistakes i've made don't make is the pain ok
And she dislikes to say goodbye too
But still walks away and into that dark cold stumptown rain
She's packin up she's packin up
To head on down the road to stump town
Her head in the clouds
And her heart so reckless
She just had to test it with romance
She made a round like a hound in a hurricane
She's packin up she's packin up
To head on down the road to stump town
Her head in the clouds
And her heart so reckless
She just had to test it with romance
She made a round like a hound in a hurricane
The lyrics of "Romance" by Spendtime Palace are steeped in themes of loss, heartbreak, and the recklessness that comes with being in love. The opening lines immediately set the tone for the song, with the singer speaking of a woman who has laid her head on his knees but has left her heart on "stump town bridge," signaling that she's not fully present with him. He acknowledges that her two brown eyes are upon him, but her heart is far away.
The second verse reveals that the woman is leaving, and the singer is waking up as she's already headed down the road. He reflects on how he's made mistakes in the past but tries to reconcile with her, only to realize that she's already gone. The chorus introduces the idea that the woman's head is in the clouds, and her heart is reckless, which explains why she had to test their romance by leaving.
In the final verse, she's packing up and leaving for Stump Town once again. The chorus repeats, and the image of the hound in a hurricane describes the feeling of being out of control in a storm of emotions. The song's lyrics are a poignant exploration of love, loss, and the lessons learned from making mistakes.
