Domestic Bliss
Yearning for Domestic Bliss: Love, Doubt, and Unspoken Desires
Lyrics
Oh I can't sit by and watch the years go
Expressing a reluctance to passively observe time passing by.
Watching your beard grow has been far less amusing than I thought
Reflecting on the unexciting nature of watching someone's beard grow.
Oh I can't sit by and watch the world go right past my window while I wait my whole life
Feeling the need to actively engage with life rather than letting it pass by.
Back when we were young and unamusing must have been Cupid that helped me find Mr Right
Recalling a time when the speaker found the right partner with the help of Cupid.
But I think that you know
Asserting confidence and a sense of being correct in a situation.
I think that you know
-I think we both know that I'm right this time
-Oh no baby can you ever picture this? You and me together in domestic bliss
Envisioning a harmonious domestic life with a partner and expressing love for the thought.
And I love the way you're always on my mind
-Oh no babe you gotta get a load of this: you and me together in domestic bliss
-And I love the thought of being right on time
Expressing joy in the idea of being punctual or timely in the relationship.
But I don't think I'm your type
Doubting if the speaker fits the perceived type of the other person.
Oh I don't believe in bad intentions; they're not worth the mention
Rejecting the belief in negative intentions and highlighting positive qualities.
And look at me what's not to like?
-You're changing your tune you're playing music
Observing a change in behavior, possibly indicating deception or manipulation.
You're playing me Dear
-And that's why I've gotta hide
Feeling the need to hide or protect oneself from the perceived deception.
But I think that you know
Reiterating a sense of confidence and correctness in the situation.
I think that you know
-I think we both know that I'm right
-Oh no baby can you ever picture this? You and me together in domestic bliss
Repeating the desire for a happy domestic life and expressing love and anticipation.
And I love the way you're always on my mind
-Oh no babe you gotta get a load of this: you and me together in domestic bliss
-And I love the thought of being right on time
Reiterating the joy in being on time or in sync with the partner.
But I don't think I'm your type
Expressing doubt about being the preferred type for the other person.
But I don't think I'm your type
Repeating the uncertainty about fitting the other person's type.
I don't think I'm your type
-I don't think I
-Oh no baby can you ever picture this? You and me together in domestic bliss
Reaffirming the desire for domestic bliss and expressing love and excitement.
And I love the way you're always on my mind
-Oh no babe you gotta get a load of this: you and me together in domestic bliss
-And I love the thought of being right on time
Reiterating the joy in being timely or punctual in the relationship.
But I don't think I'm your type
Expressing persistent doubt about being the other person's type.
