Keith Haring
Yearning for Home in Echoes of Affection
Lyrics
Baby please look at me
The speaker asks their partner to pay attention.
With them eyes pierce like a dream
Describing the intensity of the partner's gaze.
With my hands lift up your sleeve
Symbolic act of revealing vulnerability or intimacy.
I must be home now
Sense of urgency to return home or to a familiar place.
Baby please look at me
Repetition for emphasis on seeking attention.
Put your hands down on my knees
Asking for physical closeness or connection.
Lay your face down on the breeze
Inviting relaxation or surrender.
We can't be home now
Feeling unable to be at the desired place or state.
They say things get bad but it's only getting better
Optimism despite challenges, anticipating improvement.
Put my favorite shirt on my I don't care about whatever
Expressing indifference to superficial concerns.
That you said
Referencing something said by the partner.
The marks you left are turning red
Physical evidence or remnants of a past interaction.
On my neck down to your legs
Physical marks or traces of intimacy.
On my neck down to your
Repetition for emphasis on physical connection.
I said no way you will repay to me
Asserting a refusal to accept compensation or repayment.
I said no way you will repay to me
Reiteration of refusal for repayment.
I said no way you will repay to me
Continued refusal for repayment, emphasizing rejection.
I said no way you will repay to me
Emphasizing the rejection of any repayment.
I know I said that once again
Acknowledgment of repeating oneself.
I know I said I know I said I know I said I know I said
Emphasizing acknowledgment of repeating oneself.
I know I said that once again
Reaffirming acknowledgment of repeating oneself.
I know I said I know I said I know I said I know I said
Re-emphasizing acknowledgment of repeating oneself.
Baby please look at me
Repetition of the initial plea for attention.
With them eyes pierce like a dream
Reiteration of the intensity of the partner's gaze.
With my hands lift up your sleeve
Repeating the act of revealing vulnerability or intimacy.
I must be home now
Reiteration of the urgency to return home.
Baby please look at me
Repetition for emphasis on seeking attention.
Put your hands down on my knees
Repetition of the request for physical closeness.
Lay your face down on the breeze
Reiteration of inviting relaxation or surrender.
We can't be home now
Reiteration of feeling unable to be at the desired place.
Baby please look at me
Repetition for emphasis on seeking attention.
With them eyes pierce like a dream
Describing the intensity of the partner's gaze again.
With my hands lift up your sleeve
Repeating the act of revealing vulnerability or intimacy.
I must be home now
Reiteration of the urgency to return home.
I must be home now
Strong affirmation of needing to be at home.
I must be home now
Reaffirmation of the urgent need to be home.
