Cold Feet
Love's Desires and Cold Feet: A Tale of Emotions
Lyrics
You came with your troubled eyes
You arrived with a troubled expression in your eyes
Oh, and the push and pull of love's desires
Describing the conflicting and dynamic nature of love's desires
You came with your easy smile
You came with a smile that seemed effortless
Oh, and your pretty words like coloured birds fly away
Your charming words, like colorful birds, eventually fly away
I don't wanna burn for you
Expressing a desire not to suffer or be consumed by love
I don't wanna yearn for you
Reiterating the unwillingness to long for someone intensely
I would love to get crazy in your body heat
Expressing a wish to experience passion and intensity in a romantic relationship
But I don't wanna get trampled by your cold feet
Reluctance to be hurt or disappointed by the emotional withdrawal or hesitancy of the partner
When you leave you leave no clues
Highlighting the mystery and lack of clarity when the person departs
So I reinvent the things you meant
Adapting and reinterpreting the meanings of the departed person's actions
All of this undeclared charade
Describing a hidden or unacknowledged performance or pretense
Keeps me so unsure, always wanting more every day
Feeling uncertain due to the ongoing charade, always desiring more
I don't wanna burn for you
Repetition of the desire to avoid intense emotions for the person
I don't wanna yearn for you
Reiterating the unwillingness to intensely yearn for the person
I would love to get crazy in your body heat (Know that I would lose myself)
Expressing the longing for passion but acknowledging the risk of losing oneself
But I don't wanna get trampled by your cold feet
Emphasizing the fear of being emotionally hurt by the partner's hesitation or withdrawal
You stay to say the things you say
The person stays to say certain things and then leaves
A long embrace, you walk away
Describing a prolonged embrace followed by the person walking away
And now my eyes are full of light
The speaker's eyes appear bright or full of light, pretending that everything is okay
As I pretend that it's okay
Acting as if everything is fine despite the departure
I don't wanna burn for you
Repeating the reluctance to be consumed or burned by love
I don't wanna yearn for you
Reiterating the desire not to intensely yearn for the person
I would love to get crazy in your body heat (Know that I would lose myself)
Expressing the wish to experience passion while acknowledging the risk of losing oneself
But I don't wanna get trampled by your cold feet
Emphasizing the fear of being emotionally hurt by the partner's hesitation or withdrawal
I don't wanna burn for you (I don't want to burn for you)
Repeating the reluctance to be consumed or burned by love (variation in wording)
I don't wanna yearn for you
Reiterating the desire not to intensely yearn for the person (variation in wording)
I would love to get crazy in your body heat (Know that I would lose myself)
Expressing the wish to experience passion while acknowledging the risk of losing oneself (variation in wording)
But I don't wanna get trampled by your cold feet
Emphasizing the fear of being emotionally hurt by the partner's hesitation or withdrawal (variation in wording)
I would love to get crazy in your body heat (Know that I would lose myself)
Repeating the desire for passionate intensity, along with the acknowledgment of potential self-loss
But I don't wanna get trampled by your cold feet (Know that I would lose myself)
Reiterating the fear of being emotionally hurt by the partner's hesitation or withdrawal, emphasizing the potential loss of oneself
