Give in to You
Navigating Love's Complexity: Give in to You by Anne Heaton
Lyrics
Am I strong enough?
Questioning personal strength
Am I weak enough?
Questioning personal weakness
To know what part of this love…
Uncertainty about understanding aspects of love
I could give in to
Contemplating surrendering to something
I could give in to you
Considering surrendering to someone specific
Well the bell it hardly made a sound
Describing a bell with minimal impact
As its tower crashed to the ground
Depicting a significant collapse
And me, I had to show you that I could fall down
Personal demonstration of vulnerability
My love is not professional
Emphasizing a non-professional nature of love
Though I am type "a,"
Highlighting a Type A personality
My love is at least a "be " or "see"
Rating love as "B" or "C" grade
I get reckless so casually
Expressing casual recklessness in love
I love the way your mouth is shaped when you say you say….
Admiring the physical expression during speech
I could give in to
Reiterating the possibility of surrendering
I could give in to you
Reaffirming the potential surrender to a specific person
And we say:
Introducing dialogue between individuals
"You're not my kind of lover so goodbye
Declaring incompatibility in love
But somewhere in the shadows I wish you could be mine
Secretly desiring the person despite the farewell
So if you need another, still if you need a friend
Offering continued support as a friend
Call me and I'll meet you in that house on the hill"
Suggesting a meeting place with nostalgic significance
But don't you call me
Emphasizing resistance to being called
Don't you call me
Reiterating the refusal to be contacted
