Who Are We Now
Reflections on Love's Complexity
Lyrics
Hold me gentle, hold me near
Desire for gentle and close physical connection.
It's close enough but far away from here
Feeling a proximity that is still emotionally distant.
Do I need to give myself some time
Contemplating the need for personal reflection and space.
Or does the time need to give me some surer supply
Questioning whether time can provide certainty or clarity.
Hold me hard, but hardly at all
Desire for a strong connection with a hint of reservation.
You know that I can't hear your reasons for it
Awareness of difficulty in understanding the reasons behind actions.
Your words are forsaken when our communication is a spiralling verse that cannot be reversed
Communication breakdown leading to irreversible consequences.
Hmm
Non-verbal acknowledgment or pondering.
Who are we now
Pondering identity and the evolving nature of a relationship.
Who are we now
Reiteration of questioning the present state of the relationship.
We just seem to grow together
Observing shared growth but acknowledging impermanence.
But that type of love is meant for the ether
Recognition that a certain type of love may be elusive.
So now I'm a clown with a stupid frown
Expressing a sense of foolishness and disappointment.
But this isn't an amusement park
Rejecting the idea that the situation is merely for amusement.
When you ride on the ghost train do you fear for my heart
Questioning if the partner fears emotional vulnerability.
If I didn't meet you, if I didn't smile
Reflecting on the impact of the initial meeting and interaction.
And sit by your side and sing for a while
Recalling moments of shared singing and companionship.
If the timing was right or the timing was wrong
Contemplating the role of timing in the relationship.
Or have we been fireproof all along
Suggesting resilience and the possibility of enduring challenges.
If you didn't meet me, if you didn't smile
Considering the partner's perspective in a similar vein.
And sit by my side and sing for a while
Reflecting on shared moments and the impact of timing.
If the timing was right or the timing was wrong
Repeating the theme of timing's influence on the relationship.
Or have we been fireproof all along
Questioning if resilience has been a constant in the relationship.
Who are we now
Reiteration of questioning the current state of identity.
Who are we now
Continued reflection on the evolving nature of the relationship.
Complicated, frustrated
Acknowledging complexity and frustration in the relationship.
But I wouldn't change it for the world
Acceptance of the relationship's challenges without regret.
Complicated, frustrated
Reiteration of recognizing complexity and frustration.
Just yelling shit at the universe
Expressing frustration by shouting at the universe.
Hold me gentle, hold me near
Repetition of the desire for gentle and close connection.
It's close enough but far away from here
Emphasizing the emotional distance despite physical closeness.
