This Is What Our Love Looks Like Now
Navigating Love's Evolution: Ainslie Wills' Musical Odyssey
Lyrics
Long stretch of golden sun then the rain-soaked grey
Contrasting imagery of a sunny stretch and rainy gray, symbolizing highs and lows in the relationship.
Coffee every morning now we’re out of things to say
Routine and familiarity have set in, leading to a lack of conversation between partners.
I’m looking for something kind eyes
The singer seeks reassurance and comfort from the partner's compassionate gaze.
That tells me everything will work out fine
Desire for affirmation that everything will eventually work out positively.
Let’s face it we’re an odd pair
Acknowledgment of the uniqueness of the relationship from the beginning.
we’ve known it from the start
The unconventional nature of their pairing is acknowledged.
I always thought you were too good for me
Personal insecurity, feeling unworthy of the partner's qualities.
You are so bright so smart
Recognition of the partner's brightness and intelligence.
I’m looking for something kind eyes
Continued search for reassurance through the partner's kind eyes.
That tells me everything will work out all right
Desire for the belief that everything will eventually be okay.
Our hearts still glow
Expression of enduring emotional connection despite challenges.
And time will tell if we’re s’posed to be together my best friend
Awaitance for time to reveal if they are meant to be lifelong companions.
What is this mess?
A rhetorical question reflecting confusion and uncertainty in the relationship.
What does our love look like?
Questioning the appearance and nature of their love.
This is what our love looks now
Direct statement about the current state of their love.
I’ll see you around it just won’t be everyday
Acknowledgment of reduced frequency in seeing each other.
Our lives will take their course
Acceptance that life will unfold independently for each partner.
Other people will matter more
Acknowledging the growing importance of other people in their lives.
I’ll be looking for those sweet kind eyes
Continued search for comfort in the partner's eyes.
I’ll stop calling in the middle of the night
Commitment to stop relying on the partner for late-night support.
Our hearts still glow for each other
Reiteration of the enduring emotional connection between the partners.
And time will tell if we’re s’posed to be together my best friend
Patience for time to decide if they are meant to be lifelong companions.
What is this mess?
Repetition of the question about the confusing nature of the relationship.
This is what our love looks like
Reiteration of the current appearance of their love.
This is what our love looks now
Confirmation and emphasis on the present state of their love.
Our hearts still glow
Reaffirmation of the enduring emotional connection despite challenges.
And time will tell if we’re s’posed to be together my best friend
Patience for time to decide if they are meant to be lifelong companions, repeated.
What is this mess?
Repetition of the rhetorical question about the confusing nature of the relationship.
This is what our love looks like
Reiteration of the current appearance of their love, repeated.
This is what our love looks like now
Confirmation and emphasis on the present state of their love, repeated.
