Decisions
The Green Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ain't the same as saying I do
Being together
Ain't the same as me and you
Holding me tight
Doesn't mean you won't let go
Being with me tonight
Doesn't promise tomorrow
What if this love's not what we thought it would be?
What if this love's not what we got between you and me?
Baby, baby I'm going down, oh so down
Baby, baby I'm leaving, riding out of town
Make up your mind before we run out of time
(Oh baby, oh baby)
I can't hold it down this love I'm talking about
(It's crazy, so crazy)
Make up your mind before we run out of time
(Oh baby, oh baby)
I can't hold you down this love I'm talking about
(It's crazy, so crazy)
Oo girl, you seem so confused
It's like you don't even care
Like I'm not even there
It's like I don't mean a thing to you
Do you even notice, that our love is going away?
Oh I can't take it, that's why I am here to say
What if this love's not what we thought it would be?
What if this love's not what we got between you and me?
Baby, baby I'm going down, oh so down
Baby, baby I'm leaving, riding out of town
Make up your mind before we run out of time
(Oh baby, oh baby)
I can't hold you down this love I'm talking about
(It's crazy, so crazy)
Make up your mind before we run out of time
(Oh baby, oh baby)
I can't hold you down this love I'm talking about
(It's crazy, so crazy)
We used to be so in love
We were happy together
Loving each other
Oh, where did we go wrong?
And now, right now
Well I'm wasting my time night after night
Waiting for you girl to make up your mind
The Green's song Decisions is about a couple whose love seems to be fading away. The lyrics express the frustration and confusion that the singer feels, as his partner's actions do not match her words, and she seems distant and uninterested. The first verse highlights the difference between saying "I love you" and committing to a future together, emphasizing the uncertainty and fragility of the relationship. The chorus explores the idea that the love they have might not be what they expected, and suggests that they might be running out of time to make a decision about its future. The second verse addresses the singer's feelings of neglect and the fear that their love is slipping away. The song ends with a plea for the partner to make up her mind, as the singer is tired of waiting.
Overall, the song conveys a sense of sadness and desperation, as the singer realizes that their love might be irreparably damaged. The lyrics suggest that the couple has lost their way and that they need to find a way back to the love that they once shared. The Green's use of melody and instrumentation create a melancholic and introspective mood that perfectly captures the emotions expressed in the lyrics.
