Lyric discussion by fusillade 

Cover art for Just Not Each Other lyrics by William Fitzsimmons

(Track 7 from the album The Sparrow and the Crow)

Discontented by the partial reconciliation with his former wife (see the previous track Further From You) and despondent that he will not be a full time parent for his unborn child the subject returns to his new home in the same old house. Haunted by the love he still bears for the woman he betrayed the man descends to the point of despair where he is resigned to his lonely state, yet the negotiator refused to die. He recalls an offence that he forgave and immediately transitions to the current state of their serviceable but detached relationship. Realism set upon the man, as he recognizes one day he will love again. He just won’t love again with the one he loves.
