Lyrics assignment

Maroon 5
This Love
This song seems to be talking about his real life and how things were for him when he would get in a relationship with a girl. He says that he says goodbye too many times to the same girl and it seems like they have an off and on relationship. They must have had something wrong maybe like the fact that he would always be traveling or at the starting how he said he was so high to see the fire burning in her eyes. Maybe he was a drug addict and she couldn’t live with that. He tries hard to keep her satisfied but their love keeps taking off in different directions because they can’t figure out what’s right for their relationship. He talks about trying to fix her broken wings or try to get her to come back to him. He keeps getting his heart broken in front of him and she keeps hurting him more and more. The question I really feel is what does this love has taken liftoff? Does this mean that she is getting on a plane and taking liftoff and that’s his love for her leaving him? Does it mean that their love can’t stay on the ground and it just keeps going in many different directions and he doesn’t know what to do with their relationship? Another question is when she leaves on that plane where is she going? Does she have another man she is seeing and then when things don’t work out with that man she comes back to him and that’s the reason they keep saying goodbye too each so many times because she hops back and forth between men? It’s a very confusing song because I really don’t get the point of it. Why would he say goodbye so many times? Why would he let her come back to him? He tries his best to feed her appetite which means she is either a very picky eater or she eats a lot. Also he says he tries to keep her satisfied which could mean it’s hard to live with her because she acts like a little kid and he can’t keep her happy with anything he does. Could it also be his fault because of his actions to her? He tries to keep her coming every night which shows that he knows eventually she won’t come back and he will have to say goodbye once again. He says that their love is like a game and they keep pretending for each other. His pressure on her hips which means he does do things that show she has to carry him and he messes up a good amount of times. His love for her is always in his heart which shows she can come back to him as many times as she wants and he will accept her. But now he realized he can’t keep doing that so he is done having his heart broken so many times.
