Unraveling Love: A Poetic Journey of Longing
Lyrics
I thought to give this to you like a parting gift
I intended to present this as a farewell gesture to you
But then why?
However, I questioned the reason behind it
Are no words pretty enough to you?
No words seem beautiful enough for you
I think the world of them
I hold a high opinion of words in general
And these are some of my most significant ones
These words I'm sharing are particularly significant to me
I'm the writer
I see myself as the creator
But you're the poem
You, however, are the subject of my creation, like a poem
You're the window on the train back home
You are the view from the train heading back home
I look at life
I observe life
But only ever through you
But my perspective is always filtered through you
Thinking of how I'd rather not think
I contemplate avoiding thoughts
And then maybe even unthink the things I've already thought
Perhaps even wishing to erase thoughts I've already had
I'd unthink myself if I thought you'd miss me
I would erase myself if it meant you wouldn't miss me
I'd change the shape of my mouth if I thought you'd kiss me
I would change myself for you, hoping you'd kiss me
I was hoping somehow we'd end up together
I had a hope that we would end up together
Outside, past midnight, and smoking cigarettes
Imagining a scenario outside, late at night, smoking cigarettes
The wallpaper inside my brain is decorated with your face
The imagery in my mind is filled with your presence
I'm lonely for you only
I feel loneliness only for you
And I'm trying to convince you that I'm something you could love
I'm attempting to persuade you that I am someone you could love
