Elusive
Chasing Love's Elusive Grasp
Lyrics
Not too often I find myself in love
Expressing rarity in experiencing love.
I know how deep the rabbit hole goes.
Awareness of the depth and complexity of love.
And way too often I find myself
Frequency of finding oneself in love.
Doing all the loving and the feeling alone
Describing the loneliness of giving love without reciprocation.
The feeling alone
Reiterating the theme of feeling alone in love.
Love never went the way I ever thought
Reflecting on unexpected twists in the course of love.
Like a game I played that I always lost
Comparing love to a game with a history of losses.
Reading signs that were never there
Mentioning misinterpretation of signs in love.
Just a bad habit of breaking my own heart
Admitting to a pattern of self-inflicted heartbreaks.
And all these invested emotions
Highlighting emotional investments without reciprocation.
Love just seems to elude me
Expressing difficulty in finding and keeping love.
Love just seems to elude me
Repetition emphasizing the elusive nature of love.
I can take an inch and stretch out a mile
Describing a tendency to go to great lengths for uncommitted individuals.
For someone who won't even stay awhile
Expressing frustration with fleeting connections.
But I'm not the type to beg or plead
Asserting self-respect and unwillingness to beg for love.
I won't change to find a way to make you stay
Commitment to authenticity and refusal to change for someone.
No I won't make you stay
Reiteration of not forcing someone to stay.
I know I keep falling for the wrong ones
Acknowledging a pattern of falling for incompatible partners.
I know what I have to gain and lose
Awareness of the risks and rewards in love.
Yet love just seems to elude, oh
Reiterating the elusive nature of love despite awareness.
I'm tired of wanting what makes me feel like a fool
Expressing weariness of pursuing love that feels foolish.
I just want to find love that feels like home
Desiring a love that provides a sense of belonging and comfort.
But love just seems to elude me
Reiteration of the ongoing struggle in finding lasting love.
I'm tired of wanting what makes me feel like a fool
Repetition of weariness in pursuing love that feels foolish.
I just want to find love
Expressing a simple desire to find genuine love.
I just want to find love that feels like home
Reiteration of the desire for love that feels like home.
