Twice
Velour Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You passed by my window
And when you passed it twice
I thought for a moment
I thought it would be nice
If you make up your mind

I don't believe we have got that much to lose
Sure, there'll be times where these songs are of no use

I don't know what you came here to find
Still (still), I (I) know (know, know, know)
Why you'll leave and what you'll leave behind
Somehow I'm sure you know it, too

I never thought we had that much to lose
Sure, there were times when these songs were of no use

I don't believe we have got that much to lose

Take it all, leave it all
Sure there'll be times where all these love songs are of no use

This conflict between hope and reality is evident throughout the song. The singer is trying to tell the person that they should make up their mind and decide if they want to take a chance on each other. It's a bittersweet song, with its melancholic lyrics and soft melody, giving listeners a glimpse of the complexity of relationships.
