Shades Of You
Chasing Memories: Eleni Drake's Melodic Quest for Lost Love
Lyrics
Maybe I should call you
Contemplating the idea of contacting someone
Maybe I should see how you are doing
Considering checking on the person's well-being
Cos my mind still burns for you
Expressing lingering feelings for the person
And I don't remember why
Uncertain about the reasons behind the separation
We even had to say goodbye
Reflecting on the difficulty of parting ways
I wish I knew how you were doing
Desiring knowledge about the person's current state
But it's you
Emphasizing the importance of the specific individual
Shades of you
Referencing the unique qualities or characteristics of the person
I look for
Searching for aspects resembling the person
But it's you
Reiteration of seeking resemblances of the person
Shades of you
Emphasizing the ongoing search for the person
I look for you
Continuing the quest for finding the person
Follow me like the summer
Invoking the imagery of the person being a constant presence
You're sweeter than the flowers
Comparing the person to something delightful and pleasant
That bloom without forgiveness
Acknowledging the challenges in the relationship
Call on me like the waves do
Using the metaphor of waves to signify the person's influence
Darling I won't forget you
Expressing a commitment to remembering the person
Lets enjoy what this life gives us
Encouraging appreciation for the present moment
Like
Introducing a scene for positive shared experiences
Sitting on your kitchen table
Specifically mentioning a shared intimate space
Dealing card games and we both know
Recalling enjoyable card games despite personal shortcomings
That I'm shit, but you'd let me win every time
Highlighting the partner's willingness to let the singer win
Playing jazz loud on the radio
Describing a shared enjoyment of jazz music
Drinking wine and watch the day go
Depicting a scene of relaxation and togetherness
When I knew that I was yours and you were mine
Reflecting on a moment of realizing mutual commitment
But it's you
Reiterating the search for qualities resembling the person
Shades of you
Highlighting the unique characteristics of the person
I look for
Continuing the quest for finding resemblances of the person
But it's you
Reiteration of seeking resemblances of the person
Shades of you
Emphasizing the ongoing search for the person
I look for you
Continuing the quest for finding the person
Kiss me like the sun
Using a metaphor to express the intensity of desire
Kiss me like the sun
Repetition for emphasis on the plea for an intense kiss
Kiss me like the sun
Continued emphasis on the desire for a passionate kiss
Kiss me like the sun
Repetition reinforcing the plea for a fervent kiss
Kiss me like the sun
-Kiss me like the sun
-But its you
Recalling the uniqueness of the person
I'll wait for you
Expressing a willingness to wait for the person
Only you
Stating a commitment to wait for the specific individual
Cos it's you
Reaffirming the focus on waiting for the person
I'll wait for you
Expressing a commitment to wait for the specific individual
Only you
Reaffirming the focus on waiting for the person
