Paperweight
Trusting Like a Paperweight: Evan Crommett's Serenade to Unwavering Support
Lyrics
I'll be better
I commit to improving myself
If you give me time
Given time, I will become better
Need just one second
A short time is all I need
To feel like I don't have to be tryin
I want to feel at ease without trying too hard
To be better
To become a better person
Caus without the pressure
Without pressure, life is easier to handle
It's a piece of pie to weather
Challenges are as easy as a piece of pie to overcome
Every downpour and displeasure
Dealing with difficulties and displeasure
You can count on me forever ever
Promise of enduring support and loyalty
Now you can trust me
Now you can rely on me
Like a paperweight I will be holdin it down
Like a paperweight, I will provide stability and support
Now you can trust me
Reiterating trustworthiness
Like a paperweight I will hold it down for ya
Continuing the metaphor of being a reliable anchor
Da da
Repetition for emphasis
Da da
-Da da
-Da da
-Sweet serenity
Describing a calm and peaceful state
I will shortly find
Anticipation of finding peace
Somewhere between my bed and Pier 84
Referencing a specific location
That's for sure
Expressing certainty
I know you're way ahead of me
Acknowledging the partner's advanced understanding
But I promise you this
Promising continuous effort to catch up
I'll never stop trying to keep up
Commitment to relentless pursuit out of love
I mean I can't when I love you this much
Expressing the depth of love as a hindrance
Caus without the pressure
Repetition of commitment and support
It's a piece of pie to weather
-Every downpour and displeasure
-You can count on me forever ever
-Now you can trust me
Reassurance of trustworthiness
Like a paperweight I will be holdin it down
Repetition for emphasis
Now you can trust me
-Like a paperweight I will be holding it down
-Simple but risky
Describing the relationship as simple yet with risks
Like ten shots of whisky
Metaphor for the delicate nature of the situation
Believing this situation ain't sticky
Expressing confidence in overcoming challenges
But you can trust me
Reiteration of trustworthiness
Like a paperweight I will hold it down for ya
Continuation of the paperweight metaphor
It's easy oh so
Highlighting the ease of slipping into danger
easy to slip into the silent danger
Warning about the silent danger in the relationship
Of lopsided scales
Metaphor for imbalance in the relationship
In the way we make up
Referencing the process of reconciliation
In the way me make love
Reference to the intimate aspect of the relationship
In what we save till later
Delaying resolution for a later time
Know I know just know I know this
Repetition for emphasis
Know I know just know I know this
-Given the pain you've faced
Acknowledging past pain
Love, i see how you might not think there's enough
Understanding the partner's concerns about balance
Balance to go between us
Recognizing potential challenges in the relationship
Now you can trust me
Reiteration of reliability and support
Like a paperweight I will be holdin it down
Repetition for emphasis
Now you can trust me
-Like a paperweight I will be holding it down
-Simple but risky
Reiterating the simplicity and risk in the relationship
Like ten shots of whisky
Metaphor for the risky nature of the situation
Believing this situation ain't sticky
Confident belief in overcoming challenges
But you can trust me
Reiteration of trustworthiness
Like a paperweight I will hold it down for ya
Continuation of the paperweight metaphor
Da da
Repetition for emphasis and conclusion
Da da
-Da da
