Lyrics
She’s starring down the doorway
She's focused on the doorway, possibly waiting or anticipating something.
I look up she looks my way and with my eyes
When the narrator looks at her, she returns the gaze.
I see there’s gotta be some kind of way
The narrator perceives a need for communication or resolution.
But she says nothing and that’s all she has to say
Her silence speaks volumes; she communicates without words.
I wish I could make it black and white like day
The narrator wishes to simplify the situation, to make it clear.
And night that’s all she understands
She comprehends things only in extremes, not nuances.
But it’s not about a picture, not a picture
It's not about a literal image or representation.
It’s the opening of these two hands
It's about vulnerability or openness.
Hey girl hey girl you don’t wanna live your life alone
Encouragement for her not to live a solitary life.
Hey girl hey girl you gotta find something on your own
Encouraging her to seek her own path or passion.
If you find what you find brings you sorrow
Acceptance that sometimes discoveries lead to pain.
We’re gonna think about things tomorrow
Postponing reflection or dealing with issues until later.
What she hasn’t told me I already know
The narrator knows something undisclosed by her.
And everything she’s holding she should have shown
She's keeping things hidden that should have been shared.
And I say something like “I can’t take this anymore”
The narrator expresses an inability to tolerate the situation further.
And she said just to let her be
She requests space or freedom to handle things herself.
Is there anything you wanna say? I say to her
The narrator seeks her thoughts or feelings.
Is there something I can do?” cuz about the time
The narrator offers assistance or support.
Both our feet are gonna hit the floor
Implies readiness to move forward together.
That’s when I’m gonna be free
Anticipation of personal liberation when they act together.
