Love's Petal Dance: Uncertain Romance Echoed in Brooke Falls' Melody
Lyrics
She loves me she loves me not
Contemplating the uncertainty of love, alternating between positive and negative outcomes.
Picking rose petals at the thought
Engaging in the ritual of picking rose petals while thinking about love.
At the thought
Reiterating the act of contemplating love.
I check my phone once or twice
Checking the phone repeatedly, eagerly anticipating a call from the person of interest.
To see if you have called
Expressing disappointment at not receiving any calls.
Nothing at all
Feeling a sense of emptiness or lack of communication.
I'm running out of flowers to use
Running out of symbolic flowers (representing love) to employ in the pursuit of understanding the relationship.
To try and see if I'm your muse
Using flowers to discover if the singer is the inspiration (muse) for the person.
Don't know what else there is to do
Expressing uncertainty and a sense of helplessness in understanding the person's feelings.
She loves me she loves me not
Repeating the theme of uncertain love through the metaphor of picking rose petals.
Picking rose petals at the thought
Continuing the imagery of picking rose petals while pondering love.
At the thought
Reiterating the act of contemplating love.
Each year I been wishing on birthday candles
Expressing the annual ritual of making wishes for the person's affection.
And shooting stars for you
Using birthday candles and shooting stars as symbols of wishful thinking directed towards the person.
I don't even know what they do
Expressing uncertainty about the effectiveness of these wishes.
Does she love me?
Pondering whether the person truly loves the singer.
Sometimes I think not
Expressing doubt about the person's love.
I ask her a question
Possibly avoiding a direct conversation about love.
I don't want a response
Preferring not to receive an answer to the love-related question.
(But does) she love me not
Expressing doubt about the person's love.
She loves me she loves me not
Repeating the theme of uncertain love through the metaphor of picking rose petals.
Picking rose petals at the thought
Continuing the imagery of picking rose petals while pondering love.
At the thought
Reiterating the act of contemplating love.
She loves me
Expressing the certainty of being loved by the person.
She loves me not
Introducing doubt about being loved by the person.
She loves me
Reaffirming the belief in being loved.
She loves me not
Introducing doubt again about being loved.
She loves me
Reaffirming the belief in being loved.
She loves me not
Introducing doubt once more about being loved.
She loves me
Reaffirming the belief in being loved.
She loves me not
Introducing doubt yet again about being loved.
I'm running out of flowers to use
Reiterating the theme of running out of symbolic flowers in the pursuit of understanding the relationship.
To try and see if I'm your muse
Using flowers to discover if the singer is the inspiration (muse) for the person.
Don't know what else there is to do
Expressing uncertainty and a sense of helplessness in understanding the person's feelings.
She loves me she loves me not
Repeating the theme of uncertain love through the metaphor of picking rose petals.
Picking rose petals at the thought
