It's What You Want That I Don't Have
Longing for Lost Moments: Reflective Melancholy in "It's What You Want That I Don't Have
Lyrics
Thinking about all the things that we used to say
Reflecting on past conversations and exchanges
Thinking about all the things that we used to pray for
Reflecting on past hopes and aspirations
Thinking about all the things that we used to break
Reflecting on past conflicts and challenges
Thinking about all these things
Contemplating various aspects of the past
We can't afford to make it on our own
Expressing financial struggles and inability to thrive independently
As long as we don't go there we're alone
Emphasizing the sense of loneliness if they avoid a certain path
The moment we craved has never been so far away
Desiring a moment that seems distant and unattainable
And let's not create something that is so soon to fade
Cautioning against creating something that will quickly fade away
I've gotta take it all a little bit cooler, but it's true that I ain't over you
Acknowledging the need to be more composed, yet admitting lingering feelings
And maybe she will go a little bit sooner but for sure I've got nowhere to go
Speculating on the possibility of someone leaving, with a sense of aimlessness
Thinking about all the things that we used to say
Repeating contemplation of past words and expressions
Thinking about all the things that we used to pray for
Repeating reflection on past hopes and aspirations
Thinking about all the things that we used to break
Repeating contemplation of past conflicts and challenges
Thinking about all these things
Reiterating contemplation of various aspects of the past
It may be odd to frame it
Discussing the difficulty in defining or understanding a situation
'Cause it has never had a shape, never had a shape
Highlighting the lack of a clear form or structure in a situation
It may be wrong to blame us
Suggesting hesitancy in blaming for actions not taken
For the things we'd never done
Referring to actions or choices that were never made
Maybe we belong to somebody else
Considering the possibility of belonging to someone else
Somebody who is fine as well
Speculating on belonging to someone who is equally suitable
This is the farewell that situates us parallel
Describing a farewell that positions them on separate paths
I've gotta take it all a little bit cooler, but it's true that I ain't over you
Repeating the need to maintain composure despite lingering emotions
And maybe she will go a little bit sooner but for sure I've got nowhere to go
Reiterating the possibility of someone leaving, expressing aimlessness
I've gotta take it all a little bit cooler, but it's true that I ain't over you
Repeating the need to maintain composure despite lingering emotions
And maybe she will go a little bit sooner but for sure I've got nowhere to go
Reiterating the possibility of someone leaving, expressing aimlessness
Thinking about, thinking about, thinking about, thinking about the two of us
Contemplating the thoughts about the relationship
Thinking about, thinking about, thinking about what I'd thought
Reflecting on thoughts about what was anticipated
Thinking about, thinking about, thinking about, thinking about the two of us
Contemplating the thoughts about the relationship
Thinking about, thinking about, thinking about
Repeating contemplation of thoughts
I've never owed you something
Mutual acknowledgment that neither party owes the other anything
You've never owed me something
-I've never owed you something
-You've never owed me something
-I've never owed you something
-You've never owed me something
-I've never owed you something
-You've never owed me something
-I've gotta take it all a little bit cooler, but it's true that I ain't over you
Repeating the need to maintain composure despite lingering emotions
And maybe she will go a little bit sooner but for sure I've got nowhere to go
Reiterating the possibility of someone leaving, expressing aimlessness
I've gotta take it all a little bit cooler, but it's true that I ain't over you
Repeating the need to maintain composure despite lingering emotions
And maybe she will go a little bit sooner but for sure I've got nowhere to go
Reiterating the possibility of someone leaving, expressing aimlessness
