Pins and Needles
Pins and Needles: Love's Anxious Dance in Unspoken Words
Lyrics
So many words and I don't wanna choose the wrong ones
Expressing hesitation and fear of choosing the wrong words in a situation.
And if you go first then I may never pick out some
Concern about potential consequences if the other person takes the initiative first.
It feels like there's static in my body's attic
Describing a feeling of discomfort or tension, possibly related to uncertainty or anxiety.
And the white noise won't settle down
Reference to internal mental noise, making it hard to find peace or clarity.
So give me a moment just so I can refill my lungs
Request for a moment to gather thoughts or emotions, possibly to make a decision.
I keep the moments that we share on a loop
Keeping shared moments in memory and reflecting on them repeatedly.
And thinking of them is just about all I can do
Limited to thinking about shared moments, suggesting a desire for more.
It's silly to say but half of the day
Admitting to spending a significant part of the day wondering about the other person's thoughts.
I'm wondering if I ever cross your mind
Expressing uncertainty about whether the person is in the other's thoughts.
'Cause I never thought that I was brave enough to ask you
Surprising self-realization of courage to express feelings and ask questions.
My body's on pins and needles
Physical and emotional tension, possibly due to anticipation or anxiety.
Waiting for another riddle
Waiting for a challenge or puzzle, indicating a desire for engagement.
Picking off flower petals and eyelashes when I run out
Engaging in small rituals or activities while waiting for something.
You make my stomach churn in the best worst way
Describing a conflicting feeling in the stomach, a mix of excitement and discomfort.
I threw my hat in a ring I never wanted to play
Being involved in a situation or commitment reluctantly.
And all these stars in my eyes make it hard to stay up right
Feeling overwhelmed by positive emotions, making it challenging to maintain composure.
But I'm still waiting for your call tonight
Expressing continued anticipation for a specific event or contact.
I hate that I have certain things memorized
Expressing discomfort with having intimate details memorized, possibly due to unrequited love.
Like your favorite movie or the color of your eyes
Remembering specific details about the person, indicating a deep level of interest.
It's as if you're lovely, something to study
Viewing the person as something beautiful or fascinating to study.
But trust me I'd unlearn you if I could
Expressing a desire to forget or unlearn details about the person.
'Cause falling in love never feels like I've won a prize
Highlighting the unexpected and challenging nature of falling in love.
My body's on pins and needles
Reiteration of the physical and emotional tension experienced.
Waiting for another riddle
Continued anticipation for challenges or puzzles, suggesting a pattern.
Picking off flower petals and eyelashes when I run out
Engaging in repetitive actions while waiting, indicating impatience or nervousness.
You make my stomach churn in the best worst way
Describing the conflicting sensation in the stomach caused by the person.
I threw my hat in a ring I never wanted to play
Being involved in a situation or commitment reluctantly, reiterated from a previous stanza.
And all these stars in my eyes make it hard to stay up right
Struggling to maintain composure due to overwhelming positive emotions.
But I'm still waiting for your call tonight
Continued anticipation for a specific event or contact, reiterated from a previous stanza.
Does he love me does he love me not
Expressing uncertainty about the other person's feelings, using the classic "love me, love me not" analogy.
While my stomach's tied up in knots
Describing the feeling of internal knots, indicating emotional turmoil.
Does he love me does he love me not
Repeating the uncertainty about the other person's feelings, using the same analogy.
Oh I'm still waiting for your call tonight
Reiterating the continued anticipation for a specific event or contact, echoing earlier lines.
