For Day 2 of the love song challenge ( I’m actually behind by two entries, drat ), I choose to feature Linger by the Cranberries.

Goodness, who would ever forget this? After watching the movie Click, I would sing it over, and over again. It’s actually an old song ( way back in the 90s ) by the Cranberries, and it seems to me that the song is about being a slave to love. Slave in the sense that you are rendered powerless, and no matter how much you were wronged by someone you love, you choose to oversee it, or even forget, the moment he holds your hand.

The word “linger” has a romantic appeal to it, so it seems. It’s letting time pass you by as you dwell on the euphoric feelings of love, prolong it as much as you can feel the bliss.

Who wouldn’t want to linger on romance? Doesn’t happen alot, so feel it while it’s still there.


Linger
If you, if you could return, don’t let it burn, don’t let it fade.

I’m sure I’m not being rude, but it’s just your attitude,
It’s tearing me apart, It’s ruining everything.

I swore, I swore I would be true, and honey, so did you.
So why were you holding her hand? Is that the way we stand?
Were you lying all the time? Was it just a game to you?

But I’m in so deep. You know I’m such a fool for you.
You got me wrapped around your finger, ah, ha, ha.
Do you have to let it linger? Do you have to, do you have to,
Do you have to let it linger?

Oh, I thought the world of you.
I thought nothing could go wrong,
But I was wrong. I was wrong.
If you, if you could get by, trying not to lie,
Things wouldn’t be so confused and I wouldn’t feel so used,
But you always really knew, I just wanna be with you.

But I’m in so deep. You know I’m such a fool for you.
You got me wrapped around your finger, ah, ha, ha.
Do you have to let it linger? Do you have to, do you have to,
Do you have to let it linger?

And I’m in so deep. You know I’m such a fool for you.
You got me wrapped around your finger, ah, ha, ha.
Do you have to let it linger? Do you have to, do you have to,
Do you have to let it linger?

You know I’m such a fool for you.
You got me wrapped around your finger, ah, ha, ha.
Do you have to let it linger? Do you have to, do you have to,
Do you have to let it linger?
