Love To Go
Love's Elusive Escape: Carlos Carrillo's Poetic Quest
Lyrics
Please don't say I'll be alright
Request to avoid optimistic assurances about well-being
That another door will open and I'll be just fine
Expressing skepticism about finding an easy solution
We both know that I'm the type
Acknowledging a tendency to hurt others before being vulnerable
To break another heart before I give up mine
Prepared to cause heartbreak rather than risk personal vulnerability
Light another cigarette and tell me all about your plans
Asking to share future plans while lighting a cigarette
Making out with men the night before
Reference to a past night involving intimacy with others
Tell me how you love the way he held your hand the other day
Asking to hear about a romantic moment with someone else
Love your love but can I please get your love to go
Expressing desire for love, but with a request for it to be transient
(To go, to go, to go)
Repetition of the desire for transient love
Love to go
Reiteration of the desire for love to be brief
Can I please get your love to go?
Repetition of the request for love to be fleeting
(To go, to go, to go)
Repetition emphasizing the desire for love to be temporary
Love to go
Continued emphasis on the desire for transient love
Can I please get your love to go?
Reiteration of the request for love to be momentary
Don't you know that you're my type
Affirming the person's suitability as a romantic partner
Just say the word and you can get it anytime
Offering unconditional availability for the person
You know I won't put up a fight
Commitment aversion despite willingness to engage romantically
But I can't be committed for your perfect crime
Unwillingness to commit to a perfect but potentially harmful relationship
Light another cigarette and tell me all about your plans
Repeating the request to share future plans while lighting a cigarette
Making out with men the night before
Recalling a previous night of intimacy with others
Tell me how you love the way he held your hand the other day
Asking to hear about a romantic moment with someone else
Love your love but can I please get your love to go
Expressing desire for love, but with a request for it to be transient
(To go, to go, to go)
Repetition of the desire for transient love
Love to go
Reiteration of the desire for love to be brief
Can I please get your love to go?
Repetition of the request for love to be fleeting
(To go, to go, to go)
Repetition emphasizing the desire for love to be temporary
Love to go
Continued emphasis on the desire for transient love
Can I please get your love to go?
Reiteration of the request for love to be momentary
Tell me how you love the way he held your hand the other day
Recalling a romantic moment with someone else
Love your love but can I please get your love to go
Expressing desire for love, but with a request for it to be transient
(To go, to go, to go)
Repetition of the desire for transient love
Love to go
Reiteration of the desire for love to be brief
Can I please get your love to go?
Repetition of the request for love to be fleeting
