Up to Me
Whispers of Unspoken Longing
Lyrics
He said I sounded like violet
Expressing that someone mentioned the speaker sounded like the color violet.
Tell me do you like that shade
Asking if the listener likes the shade of violet mentioned earlier.
I told him I didn't buy it
Denying the purchase or acceptance of the idea associated with violet.
Not falling for that charade
Refusing to be deceived or fooled by a false display or pretense.
Just needed one more look
Expressing the need for one final glance before closing or ending something.
Before I Shut it down
Preparing to conclude or terminate a situation or conversation.
I think I read it in a book
Suggesting that the speaker read about a particular concept or advice in a book.
That you're the only sound when there's no one else around
Implying that the listener is the only comforting presence in the absence of others.
(If it were up to me)
Expressing a hypothetical situation where the speaker has control or influence.
I went out for a drive
Narrating an attempt to clear one's thoughts by driving.
Trying to clear my head
Acknowledging persistent attempts to achieve mental clarity.
No matter how many times I tried
Ending up at the listener's door despite repeated efforts to avoid it.
Wound up at your door instead
Expressing uncertainty about the expectations upon arriving at the destination.
Don't know what I expected
Reflecting on the unexpected nature of the situation.
But I know it wasn't this
Affirming awareness that the outcome is different from anticipated.
And it kills me that you're listening
Feeling troubled that the listener is paying attention, unlike others in the past.
'Cause no one ever did
Highlighting a lack of previous experiences where someone truly listened.
I wanna be intentional
Expressing a desire to be purposeful or deliberate in actions.
Should I say it slower
Pondering whether to articulate thoughts more slowly for emphasis.
I wanna say I'm ready for your love
Expressing readiness for the listener's love.
I wrote this three times over
Indicating multiple attempts to convey a particular message.
And I'll hold you in my hands but that's all
Symbolizing a physical connection but acknowledging its limitations.
There's nowhere else for you
Emphasizing exclusivity, suggesting no alternative for the listener.
I know I'm only in your eyes so small
Acknowledging a small presence in the listener's eyes but expressing a willingness to remain.
But'd stay there forever for you
Committing to staying in the small space forever for the listener.
Don't know what I expected (if it were up to me I'd never leave)
Reiterating uncertainty about expectations, expressing a desire not to leave.
But I know it wasn't this (if it were up to me)
Acknowledging the disparity between expectations and reality.
And it kills me that you're listening (if it were up to me I'd make you see)
Expressing emotional distress that the listener is attentive, wishing to make them understand.
'Cause no one ever did (if it were up to me)
Recalling a lack of past experiences where someone truly comprehended the speaker.
I Don't know what I expected
Repeating the acknowledgment of unexpected outcomes.
But I know it wasn't this
Reiterating awareness of a different reality from initial expectations.
And I'm dying 'cause you're listening
Expressing emotional turmoil due to the listener's attentive nature.
No one ever did
Highlighting the uniqueness of the listener, unlike anyone else in the past.
