Line by Line Meaning

Autumn came and left the summer sun behind us with our thoughts
The end of a season has passed, but our memories of the time spent lingers.

When it stops raining I think I'll take a walk to your house
I'll visit you once the current unpleasant circumstances cease.

And if we ever get the chance to set a date, I think I'll take you on the next plane
If we have the opportunity to meet, I'll immediately take you somewhere new.

Won't you come and take a holiday with me?
Let's spend some time together and relax.

I've asked you twice before, will this be the time you finally say yes to me?
I've made this request previously, but maybe this is the instance where you agree.

I've asked you times before, this is the last
I've already inquired about this several times, and this is the final time I'll ask.

Won't you come and take a holiday with me? Please say yes
Please agree to spend some time with me.

Won't you come with me? There's things to see
Join me on this adventure, and there will be many new experiences to share.

I can take you, I can't make you
I'm able to provide an opportunity, but I'm not able to force you to take it.
