Love's Chaotic Dance: Bridge Dog's Melody of Confusion
Lyrics
Didn't feel like meeting you
Expressing a lack of desire to meet the person
It was late at night but you said you felt so blue
Despite the late hour, the person claimed to feel sad
In the months since I last saw you
Noticing a significant time gap since the last encounter
You got a new tattoo of a band you barely knew
Observing a new tattoo related to a barely known band
You skip the summers here
Avoiding spending summers in a particular location
You go overseas in search of chemistry
Traveling abroad in search of a romantic connection
I dreamt that you're out of reach
Having dreams of the person being unattainable
I found your caller ID but no answering machine
Finding the person's caller ID without a voicemail
I'd rather just die 'cause you're out of your mind
Expressing a preference for death over dealing with the person's erratic behavior
But you can't feel there's something wrong
Noticing that the person is oblivious to something being wrong
Up all night, you're picking fights
Person stays awake, engaging in arguments
How am I supposed to learn when to take the wheel, when you lose control?
Questioning how to take control when the person loses control
What am I to do?
Feeling uncertain about what to do in the situation
You already look so damn confused
Observing the person's confused appearance
Strike up again in the fall
Resuming conflicts in the fall
You leave a ring of clovers hanging on the door
Noting a symbolic ring of clovers left on the door
I let it go unremarked
Choosing not to comment on certain actions
Replace the old bouquet in the same old, cloudy vase
Replacing an old bouquet in a familiar vase
Trains splitting from the tracks
Describing a situation where trains deviate from their tracks
Thirty feet of snow couldn't make you double back
Emphasizing the person's unwillingness to turn back, even in challenging conditions
Haven't found what you're missing yet
Not finding what the person is searching for
So it's another round, we'll start all over again (And again, and again, and again...)
Anticipating a repetitive cycle of restarting the relationship
But I just know there's something wrong
Sensing that something is wrong with the person
I'm up all night picking out flowers
Staying awake, contemplating and choosing flowers
But you'd rather take it slow
Noting the person's preference for a slow pace in the relationship
Crash the car five feet from home
Describing a car crash close to home
How am I supposed to know if you'd rather live your life alone?
Questioning how to know if the person wants to live independently
But you can't say what you don't know
Observing the person's inability to express unknown things
You're picking fights, you don't know why
Person engages in fights without understanding the reasons
You've got no self control
Not having self-control in various situations
You're at the wheel and you're letting go
The person is at the wheel and letting go of control
Slamming through the floor
Intense emotional response, possibly involving anger or frustration
Out of sight, you're taking flight
Person becomes invisible and takes flight
How am I supposed to know?
Expressing uncertainty about understanding the person's actions
You're in control, then you explode
The person is in control, then suddenly becomes explosive
How am I supposed to know?
Expressing uncertainty about understanding the person's actions (repeated)
I'd rather just die 'cause you're out of your mind
Reiterating a preference for death over dealing with the person's erratic behavior (repeated)
