AND I IN MY CHAIR
Unspoken Longing: A Tale of Silent Observation and Unrequited Love
Lyrics
He, he observes you from where he sits
He, the observer, watches you from his position
You, it unnerves you, you lose your wits
You, the subject, feel disturbed and confused, losing composure
He, he ignites you with eyes aflame
He captivates you with passionate eyes
You, it excites you, you like the game
You find excitement in the interaction, enjoying the thrill
And I, in my chair, although I hardly speak
I, sitting in my chair, speak sparingly
I notice each innuendo
I'm attentive to every subtle hint or suggestion
And I, in my chair, I'm stricken with fear
I, in my chair, feel fear as the end seems imminent
At seeing the end so near
Anxiety arises at the prospect of the relationship's conclusion
He, out to win you, he woos with style
He pursues you with charm and finesse
You, you continue to coyly smile
You respond with coy smiles
He, with his quarry on hunting ground
He considers you his prey in a metaphorical hunting ground
You, only sorry that I'm around
You regret my presence, wishing I weren't around
And I, in my chair, although I hardly speak
I, in my chair, observe silently
I see just how well he's doing
I see how successful he is in his pursuit
And I, in my chair, I'm trying to hide
I, in my chair, attempt to conceal the inner dread
The dread that I hold inside
Anxiety and fear reside within me
He, his eyes flatter, your glances touch
He complements you; your exchanged glances have an impact
You, now you chatter a bit too much
You become talkative, perhaps to a fault
He, like a gypsy, he serenades
He, like a gypsy, serenades you
You, you grow tipsy, your laugh cascades
You become intoxicated with laughter
And I, in my chair, although I hardly speak
I, in my chair, express myself minimally
My heart's on the verge of crying
My heart is on the brink of tears
And I, in my chair, my heart understands
I, in my chair, comprehend that love is shifting to another
Love is now changing hands
The realization that love is transferring between individuals
No, no, it's nothing, a little headache only
A dismissive statement, downplaying emotional distress
Maybe I had one too many?
Suggesting a possible cause for distress, possibly intoxication
Well, we'd better go home now
An indication to leave and end the evening
Yes, this was a beautiful evening
A reflection on the beauty of the evening
Indeed, a beautiful evening
A reaffirmation of the evening's beauty
