Delving into the realm of romantic longing and vulnerability, this heartfelt piece explores the anxiety and hope that accompanies a plea for another chance in love. The protagonist is seen yearning for a peaceful night with his beloved, promising to make amends for past mistakes. His desperation to prove his sincerity is evident as he uses music as a medium to communicate his feelings. He hopes that his melody will serve as a lullaby, creating lasting memories and healing old scars. The repeated refrain "I swear this time I mean it" underscores the earnestness of his intentions. However, there's an underlying fear of rejection ("You could crush me") which adds a poignant layer to this confession of love. Overall, the song beautifully encapsulates the struggle of conveying one's true emotions while fearing the potential heartbreak that may follow.
I Swear This Time I Mean It
Lyrics
Oh, Florida, please be still tonight
Don't disturb this love of mine
Look how she's so serene
You've gotta help me out
And count the stars to form the lines
And find the words we'll sing in time
I wanna keep her dreaming
It's my one wish
I won't forget this
I'm outdated, overrated
Morning seems so far away
So I'll sing a melody
An hope to God she's listening
Sleeping softly while I sing
And I'll be your memories
Your lullaby for all the times
Hoping that my voice could get it right
If luck is on my side tonight
My clumsy tongue will make it right
And wrists that touch
It isn't much but it's enough
To form imaginary lines
Forget your scars
We'll forget mine
The hours change so fast
Oh, God, please make this last
'Cause I'm outdated, overrated
Morning seems so far away
So I'll sing a melody
And hope to god she's listening
Sleeping softly while I sing
And I'll be your memories
Your lullaby for all the times
Hoping that my voice could get it right
Could get it right
You could crush me
Please don't crush me
'Cause baby I'm a dreamer for sure
And I won't let you down
I swear this time I mean it
And I'll sing a melody
And hope to God she's listening
Sleeping softly while I sing
And I'll be your memories
Your lullaby for all the times
Hoping that my voice could get it right
