The Reason
Love's Embrace: Navigating Life's Turmoil through the Melody
Lyrics
There’s a sunbeam tickling
Describing a sunbeam playfully touching someone's bare skin while they're asleep.
Your bare skin as you sleep
The narrator remains still and quiet, not wanting the person to wake up.
I lay silent hardly breathing
The narrator is barely breathing, hoping the person continues sleeping.
I don’t want you to wake up
Expressing the desire for the person not to awaken at that moment.
No, not yet
Reiterating the wish for the person not to wake up just yet.
I don’t think I’m ready
The narrator feels unprepared to face the day without the person's presence.
To face the day without you around
Emphasizing the difficulty of being without the person during the day.
Sure we’ll send messages but there’s a certain warmth
Highlighting the limitation of conveying warmth and emotions through messages, which can't fully replace physical presence.
That does not travel by telephone lines
Explaining the inadequacy of transmitting certain feelings through telephone communication.
Don’t wake up, drift a bit longer in the realm of dreams
Encouraging the person to continue dreaming without waking up yet.
And don’t you fret, I am here to guard them and do
Assuring the person that the narrator will handle worries and concerns for both of them.
The worrying for two anyway
Committing to carrying the burden of worry for both individuals.
So much to worry about with each and every day
Reflecting on the many worries that arise each day.
The great barrier reef died, a bombing again, letters from the tax office arrived today
Listing various concerns like environmental destruction, official letters, and communication issues.
And you came late at night and you were not picking up my calls
Expressing worry about the person's late arrival and unavailability by phone.
And I knew you’d drive without your glasses on
Anxious about the person driving without glasses, possibly risking safety.
I’d never really prayed but I did when my best friend was in the hospital
Recalling a moment of prayer during a friend's hospitalization, questioning its usefulness now that the friend has passed away.
He’s gone now so I guess there is no use in talking to the heavens above about us, is there?
Doubting the efficacy of praying for their relationship given the friend's passing.
Yet sometimes I do
Admitting occasional prayers despite doubts and uncertainties.
I can’t afford to lose you
Stressing the importance of not losing the person.
Somehow this terror is so brand new
Expressing the fear and intensity of the newly experienced sense of terror or anxiety.
This is no prison, it’s a vast, a wide open sky
Contrasting the relationship with a vast and open sky instead of a confined space like a prison.
Love is the reason we live and die
Repeatedly emphasizing that love is the reason for both living and dying, suggesting its profound impact on existence.
This is no prison, it’s a vast, a wide open sky
-Love is the reason we live and die
-This is no prison, it’s a vast, a wide open sky
-Love is the reason we live and die
