With Or Without You
Yearning Echoes: Embracing the Paradox of Love
Lyrics
See the stone set in your eyes
Observing the hardness or determination in your eyes.
See the thorn twist in your side
Noticing the difficulties or challenges causing discomfort in your life.
I wait for you
Expressing a patient anticipation for your presence.
Sleight of hand and twist of fate
Referring to tricks or deceptions and the unpredictable course of destiny.
On a bed of nails he makes me wait
Describing a situation of enduring hardship while waiting for you.
And I wait without you
Continuing to wait despite the challenges of waiting without your presence.
With or without you
Emphasizing the enduring nature of the relationship, whether with or without you.
With or without you
-Through the storm, we reach the shore
Navigating through difficulties together to reach a stable point in the relationship.
You give it all but I want more
Acknowledging efforts made, but expressing a desire for more.
And I'm waiting for you
Continuing to wait with anticipation for your return.
With or without you
Reiterating the challenge of living both with and without you.
I can't live with or without you (I can't live)
-Ah, ah
Expressing emotions or realization with an interjection.
And you give yourself away
Describing the act of giving oneself emotionally, possibly in a vulnerable way.
And you give yourself away
-And you give, and you give
-And you give yourself away
-My hands are tied, my body bruised
Describing a state of feeling restricted and physically and emotionally worn down.
You got me with nothing to win
-And nothing left to lose
-And you give yourself away
Repeating the theme of giving oneself away emotionally.
And you give yourself away
-And you give, and you give
-And you give yourself away
-With or without you, oh
Reaffirming the difficulty of living both with and without you.
I can't live with or without you
-Ah, ah
Concluding with an interjection, possibly emphasizing emotional intensity.
