I Can’t Make You Fall in Love Again Lyrics
- Lyrics
- Meaning
[Verse 1]
I can't make you fall in love again
I can't give you back your innocence
Freedom at last, I know you wanted it
But freedom don't last when you got no one left, mm
[Chorus]
That's just one more thing about you I don't need in my life
Never gave me goodbye but were gone in high school
You walked out of my life, I still wonder sometimes
What would we have been like? But you were gone in—
That's just one more thing about you I don't need in my life
Never gave me goodbye but were gone in high school
You walked out of my life, I still wonder sometimes
What would we have been like? But you were gone in—
[Verse 2]
I can't make you fall in love again
I can't take away your bitterness
I can't make you fall in love again, mm
I can't give you back your tenderness
Sunday afternoons go Adamson's lagoon
Your blurry old tattoos
My faded jelly shoes, a box of applejuice
I'm always late for school
It was never good enough, we were never good enough
It was never really you
So I can't make you fall in love again
[Chorus]
That's just one more thing about you I don't need in my life
Never gave me goodbye but were gone in high school
You walked out of my life, I still wonder sometimes
What would we have been like? But you were gone in—
That's just one more thing about you I don't need in my life
Never gave me goodbye but were gone in high school
You walked out of my life, I still wonder sometimes
What would we have been like? But you were gone in—
[Outro]
The light that afternoon exposed the cracks in you
The ones you filled with dust
You're lookin' so much older, shoulders folded over
Pain curled in the Sun
Now Friday nights alone, They see you in Flamingo's
For the early show
There's lipstick on your throat, you wore too much cologne
And then you stumble home
[Verse 1]
In the first verse, the narrator accepts that they cannot make their former lover fall in love again or restore their innocence. They acknowledge that while freedom might have been desired, it is ultimately empty without companionship. This sets the tone for the song, highlighting the sense of loss and resignation that permeates the lyrics.
[Chorus]
The chorus conveys a mix of longing and resignation. The narrator reflects on the abrupt departure of their lover in high school, expressing the lingering wonder about what could have been. The repetition of this sentiment underscores the emotional weight of the unresolved past, emphasizing the enduring impact of the lover's absence.
[Verse 2]
The second verse delves into specific memories, painting a vivid picture of shared moments and mundane details that have taken on a nostalgic significance. The narrator lists these memories, from lazy Sunday afternoons to old tattoos, revealing a deep sense of attachment to the past. Despite this, the verse ends with the acknowledgment that the relationship was never truly fulfilling, reinforcing the theme of inevitable separation.
[Outro]
The outro portrays a scene of the former lover's current state, suggesting that they have not found happiness or fulfillment. The imagery of cracks filled with dust, a hunched posture, and a lonely routine evokes a sense of decay and missed opportunities. This final section underscores the melancholic tone of the song, illustrating the long-term consequences of the choices made and the enduring sadness that accompanies them.
