Sheets and Cigarettes
Love's Echoes: Embracing Loneliness in 'Sheets and Cigarettes'
Lyrics
I never remember how you look like.
I have no recollection of your physical appearance.
But I remember the sound of your voice.
I can recall the sound of your voice distinctly.
Not even what is your first name.
I don't even know your first name.
But I can't forget how bright your skin is.
I remember vividly how radiant your skin looks.
I know, all we need is love, and a little bit more baby, and a little bit more.
Expressing the belief that love is essential, advocating for more of it.
I know, all we need is love, but all that I have to give you my darling, is my lonely heart.
Acknowledging the importance of love but conveying having only a lonely heart to offer.
Spending hours burning like a flame.
Investing time and emotion passionately but not finding fulfillment.
It never has the same good taste.
Revealing dissatisfaction as the experience lacks the expected satisfaction.
But everytime you show me different ways.
Despite repetition, each encounter with you brings a new perspective.
So much desire and so much pain.
Expressing intense longing and simultaneously enduring considerable pain.
I know, all we need is love, and a little bit more baby, and a little bit more.
Reiterating the belief in the power of love and the desire for more of it.
I know, all we need is love, but all that I have to give you my darling, is my lonely heart.
Despite the acknowledgment of love's importance, the only offering is a lonely heart.
All that I have is my lonely heart...
Emphasizing the possession of only a lonely heart.
My lonely heart.
Repeating the possession of a lonely heart, highlighting solitude.
All that I have is my lonely heart
Repeating the possession of a lonely heart for emphasis.
All that I have is my lonely heart
-All that I have is my lonely heart
-I know, all we need is love, and a little bit more baby, and a little bit more.
Reaffirming the belief in the necessity of love and the desire for more.
I know, all we need is love, but all that I have to give you my darling, is my lonely heart.
Acknowledging the insufficiency, offering only a lonely heart.
All that I have is my lonely heart...
Reiterating the possession of only a lonely heart, reinforcing a sense of isolation.
