Thinkin Intermission
Contours of Love: Dom Kennedy's Reflective 'Thinkin Intermission'
Lyrics
Aye here we go
Introduction; starting a conversation.
What you been thinkin, love?
Asking the person about their thoughts and feelings.
Talk to me, what uh
Encouraging communication; seeking understanding.
What you been thinkin, love?
Reiterating the inquiry about the person's thoughts and feelings.
Talk to me, what
Continuing to prompt the person to share their thoughts.
I want on her on my storyboard
Expressing a desire to include someone special in personal stories or experiences.
Lil' baby got it goin' on
Complimenting a woman for her attractive qualities.
Sweet upper echelon, PSA, the weapons drawn
Describing the woman as high-class and alerting to potential challenges.
Atomic bombs of real shit
Comparing impactful statements to atomic bombs; valuing authenticity.
I found me a real chick
Expressing finding a genuine person in a romantic context.
Someone I can smoke a joint
Highlighting shared interests and activities in a relationship.
With and talk current events
Emphasizing the connection through casual and meaningful conversations.
Her future so bright, this the real deal
Praising the partner's promising future and genuine qualities.
Her ponytail tight, pink nails too
Noticing and appreciating physical attributes and details.
I feel like Superman when I’m in the coupe
Feeling confident and powerful in the presence of the partner.
You my Lois Lane, I got no excuse
Comparing the partner to Lois Lane and expressing commitment.
I'ma give you just what you been missing
Committing to filling the partner's perceived gaps or needs.
I can’t wait to show you that I’m different
Anticipating proving uniqueness and value in the relationship.
You got my attention, I’ve been thinking too
Acknowledging the partner's impact and reciprocating thoughts.
Wonder if I come off too strong
Expressing self-awareness about potential intensity or eagerness.
If I make a move
Pondering making a move in the relationship.
What you been thinkin, love? Uh
Reiterating the question about the partner's thoughts and feelings.
Talk to me, what
Encouraging continued communication and understanding.
What you been thinkin, love?
Repeating the inquiry, seeking deeper connection.
I had found this little song to sing to you
Introducing a song chosen to convey feelings.
It’s gon break it down for you (Uh)
Highlighting the song's purpose in expressing emotions.
I’ve been thinking bout you
Reiterating thoughts about the person and expressing affection.
(Talk to me, what) it can be hard for me
Recognizing difficulty in expressing oneself but emphasizing effort.
To express myself sometimes
Acknowledging challenges in verbal communication.
Just can’t find the right words (Talk to me)
Expressing the struggle to find the right words.
But you know they say "when words fail
Referring to the power of music to convey emotions.
Music speaks" (Talk to me
Quoting the saying that music speaks when words fail.
What you been thinkin, love? Uh
Reiterating the question about the partner's thoughts and feelings.
Talk to me talk to me)
Encouraging ongoing conversation and connection.
