Doorsteps Lyrics

Cover art for Doorsteps lyrics by Lodger

i am both parallel and reciprocal to this song

the first verse. i am four years older and not cool enough. i started smoking and looking like i dont care.

then i realised it was him who was not good enough for me all along. people said why would i want to go out with him?

he is the one constantly smoking weed and that is all his life is.

though love hurts, it makes me realise i am better off without him.

and i beat myself up thinking im not good/cool enough for him. how stupid of me.

so anyway, my analysis:

there's a limit to what nature can do = there's a limit to chemistry and the feeling of love. the rest is what you can do for the other person. i.e. she couldn't have gone on loving him in this present state if she wanted to because he is a bum, and even pure love cannot glaze over that fact.

maybe this is what i would have realised with time?
