All I can ever be to you
Is the darkness that we knew,
And this regret I've got accustomed to.
Once it was so right,
When we were at our high,
Waiting for you in the hotel at night.
I knew I hadn't met my match,
But every moment we could snatch,
I don't know why I got so attached.
It's my responsibility,
And you don't owe nothing to me,
But to walk away I have no capacity.
[Chorus:]
He walks away,
The sun goes down,
He takes the day
But I'm grown,
And in your way,
In this blue shade
My tears dry on their own.
I don't understand
Why do I stress a man
When there's so many bigger things at hand.
We coulda never had it all,
We had to hit a wall,
So this is inevitable withdrawal.
Even if I stop wanting you,
A perspective pushes through,
I'll be some next man's other woman soon.
I shouldn't play myself again,
I should just be my own best friend,
Not fuck myself in the head with stupid men.
[Chorus]
So we are history,
Your shadow covers me
The sky above,
A blaze,
[Chorus]
I wish I could say no regrets,
And no emotional debts,
'Cause as we kiss goodbye the sun sets
So we are history,
The shadow covers me,
The sky above,
A blaze that only lovers see,
He walks away,
The sun goes down,
He takes the day
But I'm grown,
And in your way,
My blue shade
My tears dry on their own.
He walks away,
The sun goes down,
He takes the day
But I'm grown,
And in your way,
My deep shade
My tears dry on their own.
He walks away,
The sun goes down,
He takes the day
But I'm grown,
And in your way,
My deep shade
My tears dry
The song is about a lover walking out on her. The chorus uses a pathetic fallacy to reflect her sadness as he - the light in her life - has walked out on her. She also compares loosing the man to getting off drugs 'This is inevitable withdrawal.' She says that it's not his fault she became so infatuated with him, she should have been more responsible and knew it couldn't go any farther.
Listen baby, ain't no mountain high,
Ain't no valley low, ain't no river wide enough baby
If you need me call me, no matter where you are,
No matter how far; don't worry baby
Just call my name; I'll be there in a hurry
You don't have to worry,
Oh baby there ain't no mountain high enough,
Ain't no valley low enough,
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you babe
Remember the day I set you free
I told you you could always count on me darling
From that day on, I made a vow,
I'll be there when you want me,
Some way, some how
Oh baby there ain't no mountain high enough,
Ain't no valley low enough,
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you babe
Oh no darling
No wind, no rain
Or winters cold can stop me baby, no no baby
'Cause you are my goal
If you're ever in trouble;
I'll be there on the double
Just send for me, oh baby, ha
My love is alive
Way down in my heart
Although we are miles apart
If you ever need a helping hand,
I'll be there on the double
Just as fast as I can
Don't you know that there
Ain't no mountain high enough,
Ain't no valley low enough,
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you babe
Don'tcha know that there
Ain't no mountain high enough,
Ain't no valley low enough,
Ain't no river wide enough
Ain't mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
This song is about a relationship and how nothing can come between them and that they would face and overcome ant obstacle to prove their love. It shows they're devoted to each other, and would come running, no questions asked if they need them. By saying “You are my goal,” she means that she wants to spend her life with him. She is willing to lose everything/make sacrifices in order for her to reach her goal as her goal is her love partner.
