If You Wanna Go
Navigating Heartbreak: Bakersfield Cactus' Poignant Journey
Lyrics
If you wanna go, If you wanna go
If you have the desire to leave
If you wanna go, I won't make you stay
I won't insist on making you stay
By the time you leave (boy), by the time you leave (boy)
As you depart, by the time you leave
By the time you leave I'll be on my feet
When you leave, I'll be standing strong again
If you wanna go, if you wanna go
If you have the urge to depart
Oh I can relinquish
I can let go
Water swirls when it's draining
Using the metaphor of water swirling when draining, expressing a sense of letting go and moving on
I'm so tired of playing that part, that part, that part
Expressing exhaustion from playing a specific role
There's so much at stake here
There's a lot at risk in the situation
This ain't like our first date dear
This situation is different from our initial romantic encounter
I'm scared of what I'm risking for you, for you, for you
Expressing fear and concern about the risks taken for the other person
If you wanna go, If you wanna go
If you have the desire to leave
If you wanna go, I won't make you stay
I won't insist on making you stay
By the time you leave, by the time you leave
As you depart, by the time you leave
By the time you leave, I'll be on my feet
When you leave, I'll be standing strong again
If you wanna go, If you wanna go
If you have the urge to depart
You're not carrying any weight dear
You're not burdening me emotionally
We've "moved on" but you're still here
We've supposedly moved on, but your presence still lingers
That's alright, we'll strike a deal tonight
Accepting the situation and suggesting a compromise
To find ballast for this ship
Agreeing to find stability or balance for the relationship
If you wanna go, If you wanna go
If you have the desire to leave
If you wanna go, I won't make you stay
I won't insist on making you stay
By the time you leave (boy), by the time you leave (boy)
As you depart, by the time you leave
By the time you leave, I'll be on my feet
When you leave, I'll be standing strong again
If you wanna go
If you have the urge to depart
If you wanna go
-If you wanna go
-If you wanna go
-If you wanna go
-If you wanna go, won't make you stay
If you have the desire to leave, I won't insist on making you stay
By the time you leave, by the time you leave
As you depart, by the time you leave
By the time you leave, I'll be on my feet
When you leave, I'll be standing strong again
If you wanna go
If you have the urge to depart
If you wanna go
-If you wanna go
-If you wanna go
-If you wanna go
If you have the desire to leave
