Cry
The Mavis's Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm falling through the sky
the summer's here so I
could leave winter and fly
But what we gonna do?
you leave at half past two
we wasted time today
I guess it has to be that way
That I can make you cry
I can make you...
Cry
Cry
You looked into my eyes
you came as a surprise
you washed me in the shower
it lasted for an hour
But what we gonna do?
you leave at half past two
we waste more time each day
and everything's OK
except that...
I can make you cry
I can make you...
Cry
(but I really don't want to)
(all the trouble I've gone to)
Cry
(but you make it so easy)
(and it's driving me crazy)
Cry
(but I really don't want to)
(all the trouble I've gone to)
Cry
(but you make it so easy)
(and it's driving me crazy)
Do do do do do do do do
('Cos everything changed today)
do do do do do do
(if you would let me stay)
Uh huh
uh huh
uh huh
Do do do do do do do do
do do do do do do do do
The summer's here again
(and I don't want to pretend)
and it would change but when?
(I just don't want it to end)
C'os I can make you cry
('Cos everything changed today)
I can make you...
Cry
(but I really don't want to)
(all the trouble I've gone to)
Cry
(but you make it so easy)
(and it's driving me crazy)
Cry
(but I really don't want to)
(all the trouble I've gone to)
Cry
(but you make it so easy)
(and it's driving me crazy)
Do do do do do do do do
('Cos everything changed today)
do do do do do do
The Mavis's's song "Cry" is a love song about a complicated relationship. The lyrics describe the intense feelings of being in love and the pain of having to say goodbye. The lines "You've got me on a high, I'm falling through the sky" indicate that the singer is experiencing the euphoria of falling in love. However, the lyrics also reveal that the relationship is full of uncertainty as the singer laments "what we gonna do? you leave at half past two, we wasted time today, I guess it has to be that way."
Despite their intense feelings for one another, the singer is aware that they can make their partner cry. The lines "I can make you cry, I can make you..." portray a sense of guilt along with love. The singer is attempting to reconcile their love for their partner, their feelings of guilt and uncertainty with the reality of the situation, and the possibility of hurting their partner. The repetition of the word 'cry' in the chorus adds to the song's emotional intensity.
In the final verse, the singer hopes that their relationship will progress further than the summer; as they don't want to pretend that they don't have feelings for each other anymore. Thus, the combination of the song's lyrics, along with the melody, signify the complexity of a relationship coupled with the joy and pain that comes with falling in love.

I have to laugh, the Mavis's went to my high school. Even after they left, the librarian there (a nice old guy) would put posters up for their gigs on the notice board just outside the library!
