Closer And Closer Apart

Mary Chapin Carpenter

Transposer:

[Intro] [Verse 1] Tell me the truth don’t ask me to lie. These are the things we say. You don’t need proof and I’m not going to try But I think we have lost our way. You don’t own the sun and I can’t raise the moon So now as the darkness falls Love is so hard won then over too soon. Another cruel ending calls. [Chorus] All I can do is turn now to you Holding my hand to my heart. All that I know is I’m watching us grow Closer and closer apart. [Verse 2] And now all the kings horses and all the kings men Wait for their clarion call Pride hears its voices and fear wins again And there’s nothing to break our fall. [Chorus] All I can do is turn now to you Holding my hand to my heart. All that I know is I’m watching us grow Closer and closer apart. Closer and closer apart. [Bridge] Over and over and over again The world only spins one way. The past is a distant flicker by now And a lesson for another day. [Verse 3] Now my sad little boat floats on out to sea And you’re almost out of sight I’ll remember you please don’t forget me I whisper with all my might. [Chorus] All I can do is turn now to you Holding my hand to my heart. All that I know is I’m watching us grow- All I can do is turn back to you And wave with one hand on my heart All that I know is it’s so hard to go.

La chanson évoque les difficultés d'une relation qui se dégrade, où la vérité et la communication semblent faire défaut. Elle parle de l'impossibilité d'inverser le cours des choses, de la douleur de voir l'amour s'éloigner alors que les promesses de bonheur se dissolvent. L'idée de la séparation est omniprésente, soulignant une lutte intérieure entre l'espoir et la résignation. Dans ce contexte, on ressent une nostalgie pour les moments passés, mêlée à une acceptation difficile de la rupture. Les images utilisées rappellent que, malgré nos efforts, certaines choses échappent à notre contrôle, et que le temps peut être à la fois un enseignant et un témoin de nos blessures. C'est un moment de réflexion sur les relations, l'amour et l'importance des souvenirs qui persistent, même après la séparation.
