Words & music by Paul Simon 1986 | | | | I was having this discussion In a taxi heading downtown Rearranging my position On this friend of mine who had A little bit of a breakdown I said breakdowns come And breakdowns go So what are you going to do about it That’s what I’d like to know You don’t feel you could love me But I feel you could It was in the early morning hours When I fell into a phone call Believing I had supernatural powers I slammed into a brick wall I said hey is this my problem? Is this my fault? If that’s the way it’s going to be I’m going to call the whole thing to a halt You don’t feel you could love me But I feel you could You don’t feel you could love me But I feel you could I was walking down the street When I thought I heard this voice say Say ain’t we walking down the same street together On the very same day I said hey Señorita that’s astute I said why don’t we get together And call ourselves an institute You don’t feel you could love me But I feel you could You don’t feel you could love me But I feel you could | | | | | | | | | | Fade: I was having this discussion In a taxi heading downtown...

À propos de la chanson

Dans cette chanson, l'artiste évoque une discussion qu'il a eue avec un ami dans un taxi, parlant des crises émotionnelles et des relations compliquées. Il aborde l'idée que ces moments difficiles sont passagers, et s'interroge sur la possibilité de l'amour entre eux, malgré les réticences de l'autre. Sa réflexion sur un appel téléphonique matinal et une rencontre fortuite avec une voix dans la rue souligne une connexion humaine profonde. Le contexte semble être un mélange de contemplations personnelles et de situations quotidiennes, où les doutes et les espoirs se croisent. Cela reflète une quête de compréhension et de réconfort dans des moments incertains, tout en cherchant à établir des liens significatifs.
