Venn Diagram
Searching for Love's Intersection: Venn Diagram by Crooked Hill
Lyrics
She says that she just needs a change of pace
She desires a change of pace in her life.
I kind of laugh because it's hardly been a month
The speaker finds it amusing because it's only been a short period.
There's not much I can do or even say
The speaker feels limited in their ability to influence or express.
She's not gonna stay, she just wants to run
She doesn't intend to stay; she wants to escape.
You and I don't seem to think the same
There's a disparity in thoughts between them.
But that's the thing about you I'm starting to love
The differences about the person are becoming endearing to the speaker.
I'm not sure that on my own I am enough
The speaker doubts their adequacy alone.
So all I can say is
The speaker feels limited in expressing their thoughts.
If we drew two circles, wrote a list in the middle
If they represented themselves in circles, the shared traits would be few.
It wouldn't be very long, it would be kind of little
There aren't many commonalities between them.
Our Venn diagram whittled down may seem brittle
Their relationship, when reduced to shared traits, might seem fragile.
But, I'm looking for those things that we've got in the middle
The speaker seeks the qualities they both possess.
Can you show me what love is
Asking for a demonstration of what love truly means.
Nowadays it seems fickle
Love seems uncertain and changeable in today's context.
Can we not complicate it
Requesting to keep their relationship simple.
Can we keep it real simple
Emphasizing the desire for simplicity in their bond.
Our Venn diagram whittled down may seem brittle
Their shared traits might seem fragile when analyzed.
But, I'm looking for those things that we've got in the middle
Despite fragility, searching for their shared qualities.
In the middle
Emphasizing the search for common ground.
In the middle
-In the middle
-Yeah, I'm looking for those things that we've got in the middle
-She says that we're different
She acknowledges their differences.
I say yeah no kidding
Agreement with her statement about their dissimilarities.
But now I'm on a mission
The speaker is determined to demonstrate their worth.
To show her what's she missing
Seeking to illustrate her overlooked qualities.
There's something here so why can we not seem to talk it out
Despite something significant, they struggle to communicate.
Tell me your fears, I'm here
Encouraging her to share fears, assuring support.
And I'm not scared by all your doubts
Reassuring that doubts won't deter the speaker.
Things are not so black and white
Complexities exist; situations aren't just black and white.
You want to stay out late
She enjoys staying out late.
You want to rule the night
Wants to be in control of the night.
You're star struck by all the lights
Attracted to bright things but internally unsettled.
But deep down you're not feeling right
Despite external appearance, there's inner discomfort.
I'd fly you to the moon if you let me
Expressing a willingness to do anything for her.
I'd buy you June if you just ask me
Desiring to provide everything she desires.
I don't even have that kind of money
Admitting financial constraints but willing to find a way.
But for you I'd come up with something
Ready to make sacrifices for her.
If we drew two circles, wrote a list in the middle
Reiteration of their lack of common traits but searching for shared ones.
It wouldn't be very long, it would be kind of little

-If I wrote you a song
The speaker contemplates offering something personal and intimate.
Would you love it or hate it
-Would you say its too long or would you ask to replay it
-I want to give you my all, but I don't know if you'd take it
-We don't look good on paper, but I don't want to erase it
-If I wrote you a song
-Would you love it or hate it
-Would you say its too long or would you ask to replay it
-I want to give you my all, but I don't know if you'd take it
-We don't look good on paper, but I don't want to erase it
-If we drew two circles and we met in the middle
Repetition of searching for shared qualities despite differences.
