Love You Now
Unveiling the Dance of Love's Contradictions
Lyrics
Trace the patterns in your steps
Observing and analyzing the paths you take
Inflections, what you might've meant
Noticing subtle changes in your tone or expressions and trying to understand their significance
Jealousy or envy
Exploring feelings of jealousy or envy
Doesn't matter, they're both easy
Indifferent to whether it's jealousy or envy, as both emotions are effortless
And every time I reach for you
Reaching out to you emotionally
I stop myself so you don't have to
Self-restraint to spare you from dealing with my emotional struggles
Scared of being dependent
Fearful of becoming reliant on you
Shut you out in my resentment
Pushing you away due to unresolved resentment
And this tension ties me up
Feeling entangled in emotional conflict
One hand reaching for the gun
Contemplating drastic measures, symbolized by reaching for a gun
But then I hear you from the back seat
Listening to your inner thoughts from a distance
Singing to yourself
Noting your solitary moments of self-expression through singing
And I know I've felt this feeling
Recognizing a familiar emotion
Lying on your couch
Recalling a shared experience of vulnerability
The shower drowns you out
Symbolizing the drowning out of thoughts and emotions in the shower
I think I could love you now
Expressing the possibility of developing love at this moment
Wish I could meet you for a second time
Desiring a chance to meet you again and understand you anew
And see you through a stranger's eyes
Wishing to see you through the eyes of an outsider
So gracious, pure as porcelain
Complimenting your purity and grace
Not a trace of your exhaustion
Not detecting any signs of weariness in you
With the innocence of childhood
Referring to your innocence reminiscent of childhood
They hold you up like Atlas would
Others supporting and admiring you as if you were Atlas carrying the world
When everything's about you
Feeling resentment when everything revolves around you
It just makes me hate me more
Intensifying self-hatred when focusing on your impact
But then our eyes meet and I'm laughing
Finding joy and laughter in shared moments with you
Dancing by yourself
Observing your carefree dance when alone
And you act like no one's watching
Pretending not to notice the audience while enjoying their admiration
While they enjoy the view
Others being captivated by your presence
They're all in love with you
Noticing the widespread admiration and affection towards you
And I think I love you too
Realizing a growing emotional connection and love
You're tearing me apart in my dreams
Experiencing emotional turmoil in dreams caused by conflicting feelings
You're everything I wished I would be
Idealizing you as everything one wishes to be
But I can feel my heart turn slowly
Sensing a gradual change in emotions
I see what everybody else sees
Acknowledging the perspective of others
I want to be the wind in your wings
Desiring to be a supportive force in your life
All this doubt has made me numb
Feeling emotionally numb due to persistent doubt
I just want so much to trust you'll hold me up
Longing for trust and reassurance in your support
Because I hear you from the back seat
Revisiting the image of you singing alone in the back seat
Singing to yourself
Recalling the familiarity of your self-expression through singing
And I know I've felt this feeling
Recognizing a recurring emotional connection
Lying on your couch
Revisiting a shared vulnerable moment on the couch
The shower drowns you out
Symbolizing the drowning out of emotions in the shower once again
I think I could love you now
Affirming the possibility and readiness to love you now
