You were, I felt, robbing me of my rightful chances
My picture clear, everything seemed so easy
And so I dealt you the blow
One of us had to go
Now it's different, I want you to know
One of us is lying
In her lonely bed
Staring at the ceiling
Wishing she was somewhere else instead
One of us is lonely
One of us is only
Waiting for a call
Sorry for herself, feeling stupid feeling small
Wishing she had never left at all
I felt you kept me away from the heat and the action
Just like a child, stubborn and misconceiving
That's how I started the show
One of us had to go
Now I've changed and I want you to know
One of us is crying
One of us is lying
In her lonely bed
Staring at the ceiling
Wishing she was somewhere else instead
One of us is lonely
One of us is only
Waiting for a call
Sorry for herself, feeling stupid feeling small
Wishing she had never left at all
Never left at all
Wishing she was somewhere else instead
One of us is lonely
One of us is only
Waiting for a call
hating that they divorced, but too proud to give in, she wished with all her heart that this had never happened....
it is what it appears to be, someone had a deep love but didn't think so, wanted more fun times, more wild loves, thinking that was the best way to fun. when it was over she realised she made a gigantic mistake but it was too late to fix it. so now she's crying in her lonely bed, staring at the ceiling, wishing she were somewhere else instead.
This song brought tears to my eyes when I first heard it.. I guess you had to have been in the situation to fully grasp the meaning of what the Abba were trying to say..This song is about a couple who were so much in love but suddenly, one of them felt, it is still too early for a serious commitment..s/he wanted to explore life more, see more people, and expeience what they did not yet.So this person had to call things off, thinking it was for the best of the couple (realistically for her own selfish best). And they break up. Time passes and she starts getting what this whole life is about and she knows how stupid she was to let go of her true love. She regrets what she did, she cries, she spends the nights lonely wishing for a miracle to happen and nothing happens of course. Even if he knew, it is too late usually. Not because his feelings would have changed (could be the case), but because time changes people and no matter how connected they arein the heart, one's outlook to life, experiences and everyday happenings just make us new evolving people every day. It's like the poem of Robert Frost, "The Road Not Taken".
The girl is recognizing she was selfish and expresses her sorry in this song. She realizes what have happened and how she lost her love for materialism over feeling and she lost him. Now she is waiting for him to maybe call her, but she knows it will probably not happen, but she has a bit of hope that maybe because she confessed her mistakes, the guy will forgive her and talk with her again like in the past. I love this song, Agnetha Fältskog is performing so well and soulfully. She deserves an award for this performance.
hmm no one has commented on this one. lemmie go look at the Ateens one...maybe theyve commented there.
