Come and Go
Transient Heart: Embracing Change and Uncertainty in Ashton York's 'Come and Go'
Lyrics
I'm cold
I am emotionally distant
Then I'm hot
My emotions fluctuate
I'm here
I am present
Then I'm not
I am absent or unavailable
Like the seasons change
Comparing emotions to changing seasons
I can never stay the same
I cannot remain consistent
For long
Stability is fleeting
Come over
Inviting someone to come over
Or don't
Choice between acceptance or rejection
Blame me or blow up my phone
Accepting responsibility or ignoring communication
Like you always do
Noting a recurring pattern in communication
But you never stay enraged
Anger fades quickly
For long
Emotional resilience
Who knows where I might be next year
Uncertainty about the future
Or even next week
Unpredictability in the short term
When leaving never leaves me
Difficulty in leaving
My heart tells me where I should go
Listening to the heart for guidance
L.A or San Francisco
Considering different locations
I'm never too far from home
Always connected to home
So take me as I come and go
Accepting the speaker's transient nature
Or not at all
Acceptance or rejection of the speaker
Lost or alone
Feeling lost or isolated
Drunk as a skunk or stoned
Being intoxicated or influenced by substances
I don't even know
Uncertainty about the speaker's state
How I get back home from here
Lost and searching for direction
It's dark
Reference to a dark or difficult period
Summer or fall
Indifferent to the passing of time
Whatever you do don't call
Request to avoid communication
It's not that bad
Downplaying difficulties
We never had it babe
Reflecting on a past relationship
That spark
Loss of emotional connection
Somedays feel like the end
Feeling of impending doom
I miss you
Expressing longing or nostalgia
I can't pretend
Inability to fake emotions
That leaving ever leaves me
Leaving is emotionally challenging
My heart tells me where I should go
Listening to inner guidance for direction
L.A. or San Francisco
Considering different locations again
I'm never too far from home
Always connected to home despite distance
So take me as I come and go
Acceptance of the speaker's transient nature
Or not at all
Rejection of permanence
