Chicken Supreme
Yearning at the Chicken Shop: Love's Paradox
Lyrics
Saw you yesterday at the chicken shop
Saw someone at the chicken shop yesterday.
Wanted you to want me (to)
Wanted the person to desire and appreciate the speaker.
Try and give you another shot
Attempted to give the person another chance or opportunity.
Though I won't run 'round
Won't engage in a chaotic or restless pursuit.
I don't want to seem
Doesn't want to appear overly eager or desperate.
Hungry for you
Expressing a desire without seeming too hungry or needy.
No, no - not today
Not willing to pursue the person intensely today.
In the choice of your sadness and mine
Choosing between the speaker's and the person's sadness.
I'd rather be lonely
Prefer to be lonely instead of dealing with potential heartbreak.
For I know when the spell fades you'll get
Anticipating fear and abandonment when the enchantment fades.
Scared and desert me
Expecting the person to become frightened and abandon the speaker.
All words unspoken
Unspoken words and unexpressed feelings.
Leave my throat a-choken
Suppressing emotions and struggling to communicate.
On the back-burner
Postponing or neglecting something important.
You can reclaim your token
The person can reclaim their right or entitlement.
So I let go
Letting go of something or someone.
Caught between this paradox of man
Feeling torn between conflicting aspects of being a man.
Always trying to care less than he can
Men often try to appear less caring than they truly are.
All in order to keep hold of you
Struggling to maintain a relationship despite this facade.
So why do these girls keep slipping thru?
Questioning why relationships with girls are slipping away.
