Take This Bottle
Heaven's Wait: A Tale of Redemption in Melody
Lyrics
I can wait to love in heaven
I am willing to wait to experience love in heaven.
I can wait for you
I can wait for your love.
Far away, I'll treat you better
In a distant place, I promise to treat you better.
Better than down here
I can provide a better life than what is available here.
'cause I done wrong
I acknowledge that I have committed a wrongdoing.
And I'm a little afraid
I feel a sense of fear because of my actions.
I ain't to strong
I am not emotionally strong.
And this ain't easy to say:
Expressing difficulty in admitting the following:
Take this bottle
Requesting the recipient to take a symbolic bottle.
Take this bottle
Repetition for emphasis.
And just walk away-the both of you
Urging both individuals to walk away from the speaker's life.
And let me feel the pain-I've done to you
Desiring to feel the pain inflicted on the recipient.
I can hope we'll be together
Expressing hope for a future together.
With a better roof over our heads
Imagining a better living situation for the couple.
I can hope the stormy weather
Wishing for an end to difficult times.
It passes on-it passes on-
Hopeful that challenges will pass with time.
But I've hoped too long
Admitting that hope has been held for too long.
Hoped for me to change
Recognizing the need for personal change.
That hope is gone
Realizing that hope is no longer viable.
So listen to what I say:
Encouraging the listener to pay attention to the speaker's words.
Take this bottle
Reiteration of the symbolic gesture, asking the recipient to take the bottle.
