So that's what I meant...
I love it when either Lindsey or Stevie do that. It makes the song seem more like a theme and gives it more meaning. Here comes the night time, looking for a little more. Waiting on the right time. Somebody outside the door. Repeating something like that takes me right over the edge.

I always say that if I hadn't seen a manic, silly, acrobatic Cary Grant in Arsenic and Old Lace, I would never fully understand how withholding, cold and repressed that his Devlin was being in Notorious. I could never understand the depth of hurt he was inflicting on Alicia by pulling away, if I didn't bring my own history of him to the movie and when the Macsters repeat lyrics, I feel they bring the history of one song into the other, along with all the emotions I have for it.

Family Man is not my favorite song, but when I link the fall down/get up with Loving Cup, it means something to me.

The repetition in lyrics, the slight change in lyrics uncovers a lie, a wound, a need. How much more does it mean to me when Lindsey says, "One thing I think you should know. I ain't gonna miss you when you go," because he'd once said "There's just one thing I'd like you to know: I've got no more to lose if you go." Yikes! Twists my heart, comparing the 2 lyrics. It really does.
