Not Ideal
Navigating Love's Imperfections: 'Not Ideal' by afternoon bike ride
Lyrics
Cover my pain
Coping with my emotional distress
Pancakes in the morning for you
Expressing care through a simple gesture, making pancakes for you in the morning
Like it's nothing, something to do
Doing things casually, as if they are routine or insignificant
Instead of hanging on the news
Avoiding the negativity from media and focusing on positive activities
Walk in the rain
Choosing to be together even in difficult or uncomfortable situations
Nobody but us in the slush
Enjoying a private and intimate moment in the rain
Holding you up with no reason to rush
Offering support without a need to hurry or pressure
I let you choose the way we go for once
Granting freedom of choice in deciding the direction of their relationship
It's not ideal but I'm doing all I can for you
Acknowledging that the situation is not perfect but putting in maximum effort for the other person
How does it feel to see outside your walls
Asking about the experience of witnessing the world beyond one's comfort zone
While you can't move?
Being restricted or unable to move while observing the external world
Waiting for questions I don't want to face
Anticipating difficult questions that are challenging to confront
Like who am I?'
Raising existential questions about self-identity
What can I do? I'm watching you erase through whos, wheres and whys
Helplessly witnessing the person erasing aspects of their life, navigating through uncertainties
It's not ideal but I'm doing all I can for you
Reiterating the commitment to do the best despite an imperfect situation
How does it feel to see outside your walls
Revisiting the experience of observing the world outside one's comfort zone
While you can't move?
Feeling confined or restricted while being an observer
Waiting for questions I don't want to face
Anticipating challenging questions and hesitating to confront them
Like who am I?'
Reflecting on self-identity and questioning who one truly is
What can I do? I'm watching you erase through whos, wheres and whys
Helplessly witnessing the person erase elements of their life and grapple with existential questions
