Not as in Love
Longing for Love: Unveiling the Depth of Desire in Chely Wright's 'Not as in Love'
Lyrics
I've seen "Sleepless In Seattle" way too many times
I've watched "Sleepless In Seattle" excessively
And I guess my expectations might seem a little high
My expectations might be perceived as overly optimistic
I know they're just actors on a screen
Acknowledging that actors on screen are not reality
I look at them, then look at us and see
Comparing the on-screen romance to real-life relationship
What we have ain't gonna be enough for me
Feeling that the current relationship is insufficient
I want the earth to move, I want bells to ring
Expressing a desire for profound emotional impact
When he walks in the room, I wanna hear angels sing
Seeking intense reactions upon partner's entrance
It's not a bad situation I'm in right now you see
Acknowledging the current situation is not unfavorable
I'm just not as in love as I'd like to be
Admitting dissatisfaction with the level of love
No I'm not as in love as I'd like to be
Reiterating the lack of deep love in the current state
I can see a red flag wavin' when I'd rather be alone
Recognizing warning signs when preferring solitude
When I know it's him callin' and still I don't pick up the phone
Awareness of avoiding calls from the partner
Oh I know there's a love here that's a fact
Acknowledging the existence of love in the relationship
But he loves me more than I could ever love him back
Realizing the partner's love surpasses one's own
I've been tryin' but I just can't live like that
Struggling to cope with the imbalanced love dynamic
I want the earth to move, I want bells to ring
Expressing the desire for a powerful emotional experience
When he walks in the room, I wanna hear angels sing
Yearning for a transcendent reaction to the partner's presence
It's not a bad situation I'm in right now you see
Reiterating that the current situation is not negative
I'm just not as in love as I'd like to be
Affirming the lack of deep love as a current reality
No I'm not as in love as I'd like to be
Repeating the sentiment of not being as in love as desired
