Lyrics Meaning #39 / Song of the Day: Water Runs Dry - Boyz II Men

in songoftheday •  7 years ago  (edited)

Some relationships do have formal breakups. However, some just break without formal closures. They might have broken up, yet the love has never faded. There may be some factors, but if you will still fight for it, it will be saved.

Boyz II Men came out with this song which was penned by one of the great songwriters (though I think he was underrated) of the 1990s, Babyface. It's an R&B ballad with acoustic elements. I can hear the song Where Are You? by Natalie is a rip-off of this song by Boyz II Men.

We don't even talk anymore
And we don't even know what we argue about
Don't even say I love you no more
Lyrics

The guy and the girl might have broken up. No more communications between the two of them. However, they have no idea what went wrong. They don't know what they have fought about. No more greetings of love too. It is pretty obvious that they had broken up without formality.

Let's not wait till the water runs dry
We might watch our whole lives pass us by
Lyrics

Love is still there. The guy convinces the girl not to let it fade away. It's about saving their relationship and will not regret it eventually. If they can still save it, they should before the water runs dry, or one of them might find another one, or the love will fade.

Now, they can see the tears in our eyes, yeah
But we deny the pain that lies
Deep in our hearts
Lyrics

Both of them we're hurting after they broke up. People sees it from them, and still believes they still love each other. Nevertheless, there is denial between them but what they really feel is the other way around. The pain is deep, but the truth is they still want to be together.

Water Runs Dry is one of the hits from Boyz II Men over their second album II. In United States, it took number 2 position as its peak. However, it wasn't the same in the UK where it only reached number 24. Despite being released a decade before YouTube became popular, it still managed to garner more than 44 million views.
