Won't Go Home Without You
“She left before I had the chance to say the words that would mend the things that were broken. But now it’s far too late, she’s gone away.” –Maroon 5, Won’t Go Home Without You
Maroon, band pop rock asal Amerika Serikat, merilis studio album kedua mereka, “It Won’t Be Soon Before Long”, pada
tanggal 16 Mei 2007. Sebuah lagu bertajuk “Won’t Go Home Without You” dirilis
sebagai single ketiga dari album ini
pada tanggal 19 November 2007. Official
music video (MV) untuk lagu ini ditayangkan secara perdana di VH1 Top 20
Countdown pada tanggal 1 Desember 2007, dengan Sophie Muller sebagai sutradara
dan Tania Raymonde sebagai model wanitanya.
Lagu ini bercerita tentang
seseorang yang mencoba mengembalikan lagi hubungannya dengan kekasihnya yang
telah berakhir. Dia melakukan kesalahan, yang membuat akhir hubungan mereka
menjadi tidak begitu baik. Mereka tersakiti akibat perpisahan itu. Setelah
menjalani hari-harinya sendiri, ia tersadar bahwa ia tak dapat melupakan orang
itu begitu saja, dan ia harus menemuinya, mencari kesempatan kedua untuk
memperbaiki hubungan mereka, memperbaiki kesalahannya. Karena hal-hal yang tak
sempat terkatakan hanya akan menjadi beban di hati. Karena hal-hal yang tak
sempat terucapkan hanya akan menimbulkan sesak di dada. Karena perasaan yang
tak sempat terungkapkan hanya akan mewujudkan penyesalan.
“Won’t Go Home Without You”
ditulis liriknya dan diaransemen sendiri oleh vokalis Maroon 5, Adam Levine.
Lagu ini meraih nominasi dalam ajang 51st Grammy Awards untuk
kategori Best Pop Performance from a Duo or Group with Vocals. Meskipun
mendapatkan tanggapan baik positif maupun negatif dari para kritikus musik
dunia, single ini termasuk salah satu single Maroon 5 yang tidak begitu sukses
secara komersil. What a shame, because
this song is simply a sweet regretful song.
“The weight of things that
remained unspoken built up so much. It crushed us everyday.” –Maroon 5,
Won’t Go Home Without You

“I asked her to stay but she wouldn’t listen
She left before I had the chance to say
The words that would mend the things that were broken
But now it’s far too late, she’s gone away
Every night you cry yourself to sleep
Thinking, “Why does this happen to me?
Why does every moment have to be so hard?”
Hard to believe that
It’s not over tonight
Just give me one more chance to make it right
I may not make it through the night
I won’t go home without you
The taste of your breath, I’ll never get over
The noises that she made kept me awake
The weight of things that remained unspoken
Built up so much it crushed us everyday
Of all the things I felt but never really shown
Perhaps the worst is that I ever let you go
I should not ever let you go, oh oh oh”
She left before I had the chance to say
The words that would mend the things that were broken
But now it’s far too late, she’s gone away
Every night you cry yourself to sleep
Thinking, “Why does this happen to me?
Why does every moment have to be so hard?”
Hard to believe that
It’s not over tonight
Just give me one more chance to make it right
I may not make it through the night
I won’t go home without you
The taste of your breath, I’ll never get over
The noises that she made kept me awake
The weight of things that remained unspoken
Built up so much it crushed us everyday
Of all the things I felt but never really shown
Perhaps the worst is that I ever let you go
I should not ever let you go, oh oh oh”
