Yearning for Tomorrow: Angie McMahon's Emotive Journey through Heartbreak
Lyrics
I can't let you sweep me off my feet just yet
I am not ready to be swept off my feet at this moment.
When I've only just landed firm on the ground
I have just stabilized myself on the ground and need time.
And I'm so tired of being messed around
Fed up with being treated poorly or unpredictably.
You've watched me shift my shape and fall into this mess
You have witnessed my struggles and mistakes.
Well maybe you could wait for me I'll do my best
Perhaps you could wait for me while I try my best.
To get out of this dreary place
Expressing a desire to escape from a dull, unpleasant situation.
I'll have to face this all alone
I will have to confront and deal with this on my own.
I've been hiding my tears from my mother and she
Keeping my emotional struggles hidden from my mother.
She and my father still laugh together, see,
Parents still share laughter despite my hidden tears.
See I'd like to have real love some day
Longing for genuine love in the future.
And I'd like to get past this heartbreak
Wishing to overcome current heartbreak and pain.
Soon
Anticipating a positive change or resolution soon.
I feel like I'm living when I smell his cigarette smoke
A particular scent triggers a sense of vitality and presence.
Rich and bitter and yesterday I couldn't stop remembering him
Reflecting on bitter memories of the past.
Oh what a waste of breath and time
Expressing frustration at the waste of time and energy.
I've been hiding my tears from my mother and she
Continuing to hide emotional pain from the mother.
She and my father still laugh together, see,
Parents continue to share joy despite personal struggles.
See I'd like to have real love some day
Reiterating the desire for authentic love in the future.
And I'd like to get past this heartbreak
Reiterating the wish to move beyond the current heartbreak.
Soon
Reaffirming the hope for a positive change or resolution soon.
I'd like to have real love someday
Expressing the enduring desire for genuine love in the future.
And I'd like to get past this heartbreak
Repeating the aspiration to overcome current heartbreak soon.
Soon
Reaffirming the hope for a positive change or resolution in the near future.
