"As the time goes by," the other person might come to see that the singer's love is valuable and worth holding onto. By the time the final chorus and post-chorus come around, the lyrics suggest that the relationship may have survived despite the initial doubts. The instrumental bridge provides a brief moment of respite before returning to the refrain. The second verse adds to this sense of emotional dissonance by invoking images of heavy rocks and falling in the midst of bawling.

The other person may not be able to hear or feel the singer's presence, but they are still "singing" and "crying for more" inside their head and heart.

However, the refrain suggests that despite any differences, the two are still connected on a deeper emotional level. The first verse hints at the speaker's insecurity about their ability to be seen as desirable or worthy of someone's "search for higher love." The chorus further emphasizes the potential mismatch, suggesting that the singer "may not suit taste tonight." The lyrics suggest that the two people in the relationship may have different perspectives and priorities. "Heavy Love" by Neil Young & The Restless is a love song that explores the complexities of a romantic relationship.
