Overall Meaning

Love Away" by The Juliana Theory expresses a sense of urgency about the importance of not pushing love away. The opening line of the song, "Here's a thought, if you're willing to listen," suggests that the singer has some wisdom to impart to the listener. The singer is trying to communicate that love is precious and should not be taken for granted. They say, "It's all we have," which conveys the idea that love is the most important thing in life.

The singer also mentions that holding onto a vision can be a chore. This could be interpreted as the idea that having expectations or trying to control a relationship can be exhausting and can get in the way of experiencing the true feelings that love can bring. The line "truth of the feelings I'm given" reinforces this idea that love should be allowed to flow naturally, without trying to force it into a preconceived idea of what a relationship should be.

Overall, the song encourages the listener to be open to love and to not let fear or hesitation get in the way. The line "Don't leave her high and dry" suggests that the singer may be speaking to someone specifically, possibly someone who is on the verge of pushing away a romantic partner. The repeated line "Can you hear me now? Listen" reinforces the idea that the singer's message is important and that the listener should pay attention.
