The moment we forgot we were just good friends [A friendship evolves into a romance. 'Moment' seems to indicate it happens without any premeditation. On the spur of the moment.] I moved my arm, her face went red again [The moment it happens. Blushing is beyond friendship but more in the realm of romance.] One more bus home, another silent weekend [The lonely moments that follows after the romantic moment is 'consumed' and plunges into a form of lonely nostalgia] You said love was painted gold Like all things growing old The paint peels and slowly falls You already know You already know You already know [Illustrates that they had been discussing and sharing their philosophy about love. She had a clear philosophy: Love is an illusion that faints over time. He acknowledges she was right] Looking out the glass though we sit together [They are together yet their mind is elsewhere absorbed in the afterthoughts of what happened] We both know we could be someone better ['Be someone better' by having resisted the impulsion of the moment (romance).] Not with our heads like London weather ['London weather' minds and thoughts are like 'fogged up'. Not perceiving the way forward.] You said love was painted gold Like all things growing old The paint peels and slowly falls You already know You already know You already know You already know |
