Song meaning of Lovesong by The Cure

Oh, Lovesong by The Cure. A song about the joys of codependency and the fear of being alone. Robert Smith sings about feeling young, fun, and whole again but we all know that's just because he's got someone else to depend on. The chorus tells us that no matter how far away or how long he stays, he will always love the other person, even if the words he says are just to keep them from leaving. And let's not forget the interlude, as Robert contemplates flying to the moon to get some much-needed space from his lover. But in the end, he knows he'll always come back to them because without them, he wouldn't feel free and clean again. Ah, the joys of love and co-dependency, ain't they grand?
