Used To
Embracing Change: Love's Evolution in 'Used To' by Carla Franco and Bouwer Bosch
Lyrics
You wait for it
You eagerly anticipate something
For something new
Await something new or different
A change to your mood
Expecting a shift in your emotional state
Now you look to him
Now you direct your attention to him
Like I'm sure he did to
Similar to how he once looked at you
Like I'm sure he did to
Repetition of the idea that he looked at someone as well
Could I wait for you like he used to
Questioning if you can wait for him like he did in the past
Like he used to
Reiterating the idea of waiting like he used to
Am I going to lose like I'm used to
Wondering if you'll experience loss as you are accustomed to
Like I'm used to
Emphasizing the familiarity of the feeling of loss
Like I'm used to
Repetition of the concept of being used to something
Like I'm used to
-Like I'm used to
-Like I'm used to
-Like I'm used to
-Like I'm used to
-Like I'm used to
-Like I'm used to
-I'm already sure with part of my shell
Expressing certainty about a part of oneself being protected
Washed up by your shore
Feeling exposed and vulnerable, perhaps by a relationship
By your shore
Repetition of vulnerability near the shore, a metaphor for exposure
Where's our black house?
Questioning the existence or status of a shared space or relationship
Are you behind the door?
Wondering if the person is hiding behind a metaphorical door
Behind the door?
Repeating the question of someone being behind the door
Are you sure?
Seeking confirmation or clarity
You're not gonna be coming home anymore
Expressing doubt about the person returning home
Anymore
-Anymore
-Are you?
Seeking confirmation about the person's return
For you I no longer tremble
Desiring a simpler, uncomplicated love and acknowledging inability to fight for it
I want a love that's simple
-This heart can't fight for you
-For you I no longer tremble
-I want a love that's simple
-This heart can't fight for you
-For you I no longer tremble
-I want a love that's simple
-This heart can't fight for you
-For you I no longer tremble
-I want a love that's simple
-This heart can't fight for you
-Like I used to
Repetition of the idea of longing for the past, how things used to be
Like I used to
-Like I used to
-Like I used to
-Like I used to
-Like I used to
-Like I used to
-Like I used to
Final repetition of the longing for the past
