I sometimes half-serious-half-jokingly refer to this song as the world’s first honest love song. Because no matter what we want to promise one another, and how strongly we are feeling deep sensations of love, lust, affection, empathy, passion, arousal, truth, connection and commitment, we can honestly not say with absolute certainty that we know that we are going to stay together forever. And that bittersweet insight, that what we have is fragile and may perhaps be lost with time, is perhaps what makes it so powerful to begin with.
It Could Go Either Way
Stay with me, it could go either way
Stay with me, let’s not throw us away
I can say; there is no guarantee
but stay with me and let us have this day
If I ever made it on my own,
see I never knew you all alone,
Stay with me, tip the balance our way
Stay with me, it could go either way
Stay with me, let’s not throw us away
I can say; there is no guarantee
but stay with me and let us have today
If I ever made it on my own,
see I never knew you all alone,
Stay with me, tip the balance our way
Stay with me, it could go either way
Stay with me, let’s not throw us away
I can say; there is no guarantee
but stay with me and let us have this day, either way
Stay with me, it may go straight to hell
But don’t leave, then we may never tell
Stay with me, it could go either way
Stay with me and let us have this day
If I ever made it on my own
see I never knew you all alone
Stay with me, tip the balance our way
”It could go either way” is a part of my debut album ”Darkness on the edge of ecstasy” out now on Sonar Kollektiv!
