Comfortable
Embracing the Inevitable: Love's Comfortable Journey
Lyrics
What happens to a flame when it burns out?
Reflecting on the inevitable end of passion or excitement.
What happens to a love that's not new?
Contemplating the fate of a love that is no longer new or fresh.
What happens when I'm no longer impressive?
Questioning the significance when no longer seen as impressive.
Or when there's nothing left to learn about you?
Exploring the idea of reaching the end of understanding someone.
See I used to wonder about you
Expressing curiosity about the experience of loving the person.
What it would be like to love you
Imagining the emotional journey of loving the person.
Now I've seen every hole in your heart
Acknowledging and accepting the flaws and vulnerabilities in the person.
I'm used to loving slowly
Being accustomed to a gradual process of falling in love.
But this time you already know me
Contrasting the current situation where familiarity exists from the start.
I hope you like all the broken parts
Expressing a hope that the person appreciates all aspects, even the broken ones.
Oh, we can't run away from the comfortable
Emphasizing the difficulty of escaping from the comfortable but predictable aspects of a relationship.
'Cause it's inevitable in love, in love
Stating that comfort is inevitable in love.
Oh, it's time we make way for the comfortable
Advocating for embracing comfort as it is already present in the relationship.
'Cause it's already comfortable in us, in us
Highlighting the existing comfort within the couple.
Save the honeymoon
Suggesting that the honeymoon phase is merely a performance.
It's just a puppet show (puppet show)
Comparing the honeymoon phase to a puppet show, emphasizing its artificial nature.
They say nobody really makes it through (makes it through)
Expressing skepticism about the possibility of a perfect, everlasting relationship.
And though a part of me wishes that this was two July's ago
Reflecting on the passage of time and contrasting feelings about the past.
The rest of me is safer, here with you
Choosing safety and security in the present relationship.
See, I used to wonder about you
Reiterating the curiosity about the experience of loving the person.
What it would be like to love you
Imagining the emotional journey but now with a deeper understanding.
But now I know you inside and out
Expressing complete knowledge and acceptance of the person.
I'm used to loving slowly
Being accustomed to a slow process, but the other person quickly understands.
But it took you nothing to know me
Highlighting the rapid understanding of the speaker by the person.
What happens when I run out of parts? Yeah
Raising the question of what happens when there's nothing new to discover.
Oh, I guess you could say that it's comfortable
Stating that the current state is comfortable.
And it's inevitable in love, in love
Reiterating that comfort is inevitable in love.
Oh, it's time we make way for the comfortable
Advocating for making room for the existing comfort.
'Cause it's already comfortable in us, in us
Emphasizing the comfort that already exists within the relationship.
It turns out you think my favorite song's annoying
Discovering that the favorite song of the speaker is considered annoying by the person.
Turns out no one makes me sensitive like you
Realizing that the person brings out sensitivity in the speaker.
I used to be sad that the honeymoon's behind us
Initially feeling sadness about the end of the honeymoon phase.
Until I realized that it means we made it through (oh-oh-oh-oh-whoa)
Recognizing that the end of the honeymoon phase signifies overcoming challenges.
Oh, we can't run away from the comfortable
Reiterating the difficulty of escaping from the comfortable but predictable aspects of a relationship.
'Cause it's inevitable in love (yeah, in love), in love (in love)
Restating the inevitability of comfort in love.
Oh, it's time we make way for the comfortable (for the comfortable)
Encouraging the acceptance of existing comfort in the relationship.
'Cause it's already comfortable (it's already comfortable) in us (in us), in us
Affirming the comfort that already exists within the couple.
Yeah
Expressing affirmation or agreement.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Repeating an affirmative expression with emphasis.
In the comfortable with you
Concluding with the idea of being comfortable with the person.
