| John Mellencamp – Between A Laugh And A Tear Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| the song is not specifically about relationships or being bipolar. I heard Mellencamp talk about this song on an old VH1 special. It's about the ups and downs of life, and how you can never seem to strike a balance. The key phrase is "I know there's a balance, I see it when I swing past". Mellencamp equated this to being on a pendulum and swinging from the highs and lows, and while you are in the middle of the pendulum you see the balance in life, but you swing right past it and can never seem to stay there. | |
