Lyrics

I hold your wrist

I have a firm grasp on your wrist.

You bite your lip

You nervously bite your lip.

The push becomes an embrace

The initial push or distance between us transforms into a warm embrace.


I touch your face

I gently touch your face.

You close your eyes

You respond by closing your eyes, possibly enjoying the moment.

The embrace becomes a shove

The embrace intensifies and turns into a forceful shove.


I walk away

I decide to walk away, creating some distance.

You follow too close

You, however, follow closely, not allowing the distance to grow.

The shove takes hold

The shove from earlier gains control of the situation.

And there's no where to go

We find ourselves in a situation where there is no escape.


Take it down

A command or suggestion to reduce intensity or emotion.

Take it all the way

Emphasizing the need to reduce intensity or emotion completely.

Take it down

Reiterating the call to decrease intensity or emotion.

Take it all the way down below the waterline

Extending the idea of reducing intensity or emotion to a profound level, possibly indicating a breaking point.


I see you now

Observing you through a barrier, perhaps suggesting a sense of detachment or separation.

Through a glass wall

The imagery of seeing through a glass wall continues, emphasizing the barrier between us.

All that is you stays with you

Your essence or identity remains intact despite the separation.

All that is me stays with me

Similarly, my identity remains unaffected by the distance between us.

But we see it all

We are fully aware of the situation, seeing and feeling everything.

We feel it all

We experience all the emotions and sensations associated with the circumstances.

And there is no place we can't go

Despite the intensity of the situation, there is nowhere we can avoid going.


Take it down

A repetition of the earlier call to reduce intensity or emotion.

Take it all the way

A reiteration of the need to decrease intensity or emotion completely.

Take it down

Emphasizing again the call to reduce intensity or emotion.

Take it all the way down below the waterline

Extending the idea of reducing intensity or emotion to a profound level, possibly indicating a breaking point (repeated).
