Save Us Now
Talk Of The Town Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You can take what's left of this apartment,
And throw it out with all your regrets.
Well I'll take this vow of silence,
Until these words cave in my chest,
Because I know you need me more than that,
I know you love me more than that.
Before, you go, can we try to work this out somehow?
Before you try to take the lead,
Remember who wrote this song,
Now do your best to move along.
Is there anything else I have the right to know?
Because I swear there's something different about your smile.
But no, take this vow of silence,
Because the truth might break my heart.
And you know you need me more than that,
You know you love me more than that.
I remember when this dance was only meant for you and me,
Well these city lights are shining,
But I'm 3000 miles divided,
From where you know I really want to be.
California's where you'll find me sleeping,
But this New York dreamer will keep on dreaming
The lyrics of Talk of the Town's song 'Save Us Now' reveal a complicated relationship that is on the brink of collapse. The first verse sees the female protagonist declaring that they were "destined for failure" and that the apartment they share should be emptied out. The male protagonist responds by taking a vow of silence, opting to hold back his words and repress his emotions rather than expressing them.
The chorus admits that "not even love can save us now," and asks if they can "try to work this out somehow?" The male protagonist reminds the female protagonist that he is the one who wrote the song they are living, which emphasizes his ownership and commitment to the relationship. However, he concedes that they should "do [their] best to move along" and let each other go.
The second verse reveals that the female protagonist suspects that there is something going on that she doesn't know about, but she prefers to maintain her vow of silence rather than potentially hear something that would hurt her. The male protagonist urges her to keep holding onto their love but acknowledges that distance has come between them, leaving him 3000 miles away in California while she is still in New York.
Overall, the lyrics of the song reveal the heartbreak and challenges that come with trying to hold onto a relationship that is no longer sustainable or fulfilling.
Line by Line Meaning
We were destined for failure she said,
According to her, we were always going to fail.
You can take what's left of this apartment,
Just throw away everything that is still here.
And throw it out with all your regrets.
Throw away all the things you regret along with it.
Well I'll take this vow of silence,
I won't speak until it hurts me inside.
Until these words cave in my chest,
My feelings will only stay inside my heart.
Because I know you need me more than that,
I'm aware of how much you rely on me.
I know you love me more than that.
And I also know that you love me deeply.
But I know, that not even love can save us now,
Love alone won't be enough to rescue our situation.
Before, you go, can we try to work this out somehow?
Before we part ways, can we please attempt to resolve this issue?
Before you try to take the lead,
Before you try to take control of what happens next,
Remember who wrote this song,
Please remember that I'm the one who created this piece of music.
Now do your best to move along.
But it's time for you to move forward the best way you can.
Is there anything else I have the right to know?
Is there anything else you should let me know about?
Because I swear there's something different about your smile.
I'm suspicious that there's a change in your expression.
But no, take this vow of silence,
Actually, keep quiet about it and don't tell me the truth.
Because the truth might break my heart.
The truth, if revealed, could devastate me emotionally.
And you know you need me more than that,
You're aware that you depend on me to some extent.
You know you love me more than that.
And you also know that you truly love me.
I remember when this dance was only meant for you and me,
There was a time when this moment was private and just between us.
Well these city lights are shining,
The bright lights of this city are dazzling.
But I'm 3000 miles divided,
Yet, it seems like there's a long distance between us.
From where you know I really want to be.
On the other hand, I'm really yearning to be where you are.
California's where you'll find me sleeping,
I'll be sleeping over in California.
But this New York dreamer will keep on dreaming
Even though we are far apart, I'll keep dreaming of us.
