The Way
Embracing Demons: The Irresistible Allure of Forbidden Love in 'The Way'
Lyrics
I know I shouldn’t want it
I acknowledge that I shouldn't desire it
I know I shouldn’t want it, but I want you baby
Despite knowing I shouldn't, I desire you, baby
I know I shouldn’t need it
I understand that I shouldn't require it
But every time I try to leave you
Every attempt to leave you is challenging
You’re my weakness
You are my vulnerability
You’re my weakness
Reiteration of the partner being a weakness
We can’t be apart
We cannot be separated
It’s written in the stars
Destiny or fate dictates our connection
Never get too far, yeah
We should never be too distant
Boy you know that you’re my weakness
Acknowledging the partner as a weakness
It’s just how we are
Describing the nature of their relationship
I just can’t explain
Unable to provide a clear explanation
If they ask me why
If questioned, the response relates to liking the way
I say I like the way
Expressing enjoyment of a specific manner
I like the way
Repetition of liking the way
I like the way
-The way you love
Expressing affection for the partner's way of loving
I like the way
-I like the way
-I like the way
-The way you love
-Fell in love with you and all your demons
Falling in love despite acknowledging flaws
There’s no coming back I’m off the deep end
Passing the point of return in the relationship
Know it’s hard to let it go worked too hard to let it go
Reluctance to let go due to invested effort
Tried to hide from you, I know you see me
Attempting to hide, but partner sees through it
I still feel you when we’re not speaking
Feeling the partner's presence even in silence
We’re connected at the soul
Emphasizing a deep soul connection
Wish that I could let you go
Desiring to let go despite the soul connection
We can’t be apart
Reiteration of the impossibility of being apart
It’s written in the stars
Destiny or fate still influences their relationship
Never get too far
Avoiding getting too distant
Boy you know that you’re my weakness
Confirming the partner as a weakness
It’s just how we are
Explaining the nature of their relationship
I just can’t explain
Unable to provide a clear explanation again
If they ask me Why
If asked why, the response relates to liking the way
I say I like the way
Repetition of expressing enjoyment of the partner's way of loving
I like the way
-I like the way
-The way you love
-I like the way
-I like the way
-I like the way
-The way you love
Reiteration of affection for the partner's way of loving
We share demons
Shared struggles or challenges in the relationship
They have parties
Demons or difficulties shared in their relationship
Listening to Stevie
Enjoying moments together, possibly with music
Drinking Andre
Indulging in a specific drink together
Love this feeling
Expressing love for the current emotional state
Out of body
Feeling detached from the physical self
How is this healing
Questioning the healing process of such detachment
When it’s toxic
Acknowledging the toxicity of the relationship
I just can’t stop it
Admitting difficulty in stopping the relationship
Makes my heart sick
The relationship causing emotional distress
Thinking of leaving
Contemplating leaving but struggling with the decision
Makes me nauseous
Feeling physically ill at the thought of leaving
And that’s why I'm gone stay
Determined to stay despite challenges
Fuck what anyone say
Rejecting external opinions, choosing the challenging love
Cause they could never understand this love
Believing that others cannot comprehend their love
This shit is way harder to shake than any drug
Describing the difficulty of overcoming this love
