Room 702
Longing and Uncertainty: Room 702's Tale of Yearning
Lyrics
If everybody saw how I saw you
If everyone could see your qualities as I do, they would all vie for your attention.
Then everyone would fight just to have you, too
Expressing the desirability of the person and the competition for their affection.
I can be the worst but you say you like it so your eyes still let me know and that's ok
Acknowledging personal flaws but finding comfort in the acceptance and understanding of the other person.
Remember what we did on your rooftop?
Recalling a shared experience on a rooftop, highlighting a moment of intimacy or excitement.
Seven stories up - almost got caught
Describing the location and a risky situation that added thrill to the memory.
But now you stay away so I don't know where to look.
Expressing confusion and loss after the person's withdrawal, creating a sense of longing.
I can read you like a book that I can't put down
Claiming a deep understanding of the person, comparing it to reading an engaging book.
How long would I wait for you to come around again?
Pondering the duration of waiting for the person to return.
How long should I wait for you to come around again?
Repeating the question, emphasizing the uncertainty and anticipation of the wait.
Let the new pursuers beg, you get them instead, happy now?
Encouraging the person to pursue new interests and relationships, questioning their happiness with the decision.
Let them try to make the cut, on the bar I set.
Challenging others to meet a certain standard and compete for the person's attention.
Go around.
Encouraging others to keep trying despite the challenges.
Been around a few but I'm no one's.
Acknowledging past experiences but asserting independence and lack of commitment.
Need something to do while you're gone
Expressing a need for occupation or distraction during the person's absence.
There will come a day when you'll know just where to look
Anticipating a future moment when the person will be easier to find.
Cause You know me like a book you've read before
Highlighting a deep familiarity and understanding between the two individuals.
How long would I wait for you to come around again?
Reiterating the uncertainty about the duration of the wait for the person's return.
How long should I wait for you to come around again?
Continuing to question the appropriate length of waiting for the person to come back.
I was out when you were in but will you come around again.
Reflecting on a time when roles were reversed and expressing hope for the person's return.
Now I'm in and you're out.
Describing a change in circumstances but maintaining the desire for the person to return.
Will you come around again?
Repeating the hope for the person's return and the uncertainty surrounding it.
