Love On A Two Way Street
The Moments Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And lost it on a lonely highway
Love on a two way street
And lost it on a lonely highway
True love,
Will never die
So I've been told
It is finally goodbye
I know
With music softly playing,
Her lips were gently saying
"I love you"
She held me in desperation
I thought it was a revelation
And then she walked out
How could I be so blind
To give up love the very first time
To be fooled is a hurting pain
To be loved and fooled is a crying shame
While I bear the blame
As she laughs my name
With music softly playing
Her lips were gently saying
"Honey, I love you."
She held me in desperation
I thought it was a revelation
And then she walked out
I found love on a two way street
And lost it on a lonely highway
Love on a two way street
And lost it on a lonely highway
Bye, bye baby, bye, bye
Lost it on a lonely highway
The Moments' song "Love On A Two Way Street" portrays a love story that started passionately and ended abruptly. The lyrics depict the singer finding love on a two-way street, referring to a reciprocal love where both partners were equally invested. However, the relationship takes a turn when the love is lost on a lonely highway, indicating a change in the emotional state of one of the partners. The loneliness of the highway could be interpreted as a symbol of a one-way street, where love is only given in one direction. The singer cries and says goodbye, signifying the end of the relationship.
The message of the song describes the fragility of love and the pain that comes with losing it. The verse, "True love will never die, so I've been told, but now I must cry, it is finally goodbye, I know," laments that love cannot survive all obstacles, as it's not always enough to sustain a relationship. The singer faces the reality of love's impermanence, which is both heartbreaking and enlightening. He then recalls the moment his partner confessed her love to him, which was once a hopeful and promising time, "With music softly playing, her lips were gently saying, 'I love you.' She held me in desperation, I thought it was a revelation, and then she walked out."
In conclusion, the song's lyrics serve as a reminder that love is never guaranteed, and it's essential to cherish it while it lasts. The singer's pain is palpable, but his introspection and acceptance of the situation indicate a potential for future healing and growth.

on I Don't Want To Go
Lately I been Known
For making up excuses
And all too many times
Wondering what the use is now
Nothing like it used to be
When you and me
Were all I ever dreamed of
Dreams just don't come true
Just the way you planned them
And looking back in time
I still don't understand just how
The feeling comes and goes
And before I start to lie
I want you to know
[Chorus]
I Don't wanna go
But I can't stay here no more
I don't wanna go
Cause it just ain't like before
I don't want you to love me
And ohh how I wish I
Loved you like I did
Honey you know I did
Did we turn away
Just when we saw it coming
And could we have been saved
Or would we still
Be running scared
The space became so wide
That no matter how I tried
There was just no place to hide
Ohh Baby
[Chorus]
I Don't wanna go
But I can't stay here no more
I don't wanna go
Cause it just ain't like before
I don't want you to love me
And ohh how I wish I
Loved you like I did
Honey you know I did
Repeat 2x
[Chorus]
I Don't wanna go
But I can't stay here no more
I don't wanna go
But it just ain't like before
I don't want you to love me
And ohh how I wish I
Loved you like I did
Honey you know I did
I Don't wanna go
But I can't stay here no more
I don't wanna go
But it just ain't like before
I Just
(But I can't stay here no more
I don't wanna go
But it just ain't like before
I don't want you to love me)
I Just
(I don't wanna go
But it just ain't like before)
I don't wanna go
But it just ain't like
Just like before
