Buttons Lyrics

I said, 'darlin', why so blue?'
She told me, 'I've been missin' you.'
We's a-leaving
She said, stay
She kissed my lips and quickly ran away

Lost some buttons to my overcoat
Pull your knife away from my throat
She said, 'smoke your cigarette, I hope you choke'
Kissed my lips and quickly ran away

I shake, I shake
I can never see
How good a young love could really be
I know, I know
It's not that bad
Take a look at what we had

Walked you home from the park
I held your hand, it was after dark
Hold me closer, she'll always stay
She kissed my lips and quickly ran away

Lost some buttons to my overcoat
Pull your knife away from my throat
She said, 'smoke your cigarette, I hope you choke'
Kissed my lips and quickly ran away

You shake, you shake
I could never see
How good young love could really be
I know, I know
It's not that bad
Take a look at what we had

What is the Meaning of Buttons?

This lyrical composition delves into the complexities of youthful love and the emotional turbulence that accompanies it. The narrative illustrates a sporadic and tumultuous relationship, highlighted by its paradoxical blend of affection and antagonism. The recurring motif of the protagonist's love interest kissing and then abruptly leaving represents the inconsistency and transience often found in young romance. Metaphorical elements such as "lost buttons" and the "knife" symbolize the unraveling of stability and the threat of emotional harm. Furthermore, repeated sentiments of confusion and a struggle to comprehend the potential of young love underscore a pervasive sense of uncertainty. Despite the evident tension, there is a nostalgic acknowledgment of what was once shared, urging a reflective appreciation of past experiences. #YoungLove #EmotionalTurbulence #TransientAffection #ReflectiveNostalgia
