Suck It Up
Embrace the Dance of Love
Lyrics
How many times
Asks how frequently a particular action must occur
Will I have to leave?
Expresses the act of departing or moving away repeatedly
Before I stop myself
Before pausing to observe and take in the surroundings
To look around and breathe
To breathe consciously and feel present
To point my nose back down
To redirect focus downward
To cross my arms and fold
To adopt a defensive or closed-off posture
To make myself a wall
To create a barrier or shield
Pretend I am that bold
To feign confidence and strength
'Cause I am just a boy
Self-identifies as young and inexperienced
Your silence could destroy
Recognizes the potential harm of another's silence
So suck it up and love me
Encourages acceptance despite challenges
For you must understand
Asserts the necessity of understanding
With everything we've planned
Refers to shared plans and commitments
I put this in your hand
Places responsibility in the listener's hands
So suck it up and love me
Reiterates the call for acceptance and love
Wake up embrace all of me
Encourages awakening and complete acceptance
Tonight I will not cry
Declares intent not to show emotional distress
Somehow this all makes sense
Expresses a sense of coherence or understanding in the situation
Love puts us on two knees
Describes the transformative power of love
Sometimes we believe,
Reflects on alternating beliefs and regrets in relationships
Sometimes we repent
Highlights the necessity of questioning
Sometimes we have to question
Contemplating the actual progress made
How far we've really come
Expresses self-interest and self-preservation
Well here I am again
Returning to a familiar state
Looking out for number one
Putting oneself first
All this, recall
Reflecting on past experiences
Every pitfall
Acknowledging setbacks as part of the process
Just a part of
Integral to discovering love
Finding our love
Search for and understanding of love
