Learning Curve
Moonlit Reflections: Embracing Longing and Learning in 'Learning Curve'
Lyrics
The moon hanging over Little Rock
The moon is positioned over Little Rock.
Ain't full - might as well be
The moon is not full, but it appears significant or impactful.
And as soon as I'm brave enough not to stop
The singer desires the courage to continue without hesitation.
This town falls asleep
When the singer overcomes fear, the town falls asleep, suggesting a sense of tranquility.
I can miss you
The singer has the capacity to miss someone.
I'm allowed to
Reaffirmation that the singer has the right to miss someone.
I've been pacing in a parking lot
The singer has been pacing in a parking lot, indicating restlessness.
Like it's all I've ever known
Describing the parking lot as if it's the only familiar place.
I've been dodging shifty people and the cops
The singer is avoiding suspicious individuals and law enforcement.
Trying not to fall in love
Trying to resist falling in love, perhaps due to past experiences.
But I can miss you
Reiteration of the singer's right to miss someone.
I'm allowed to
Affirmation that the singer can allow themselves to miss someone.
You don't have to look my way
Others can understand the singer without direct eye contact.
To see right through
Suggesting transparency or vulnerability that can be easily perceived.
I could draw you like a cartoon
Comparing drawing someone like a cartoon to capturing a memory on paper.
From a memory to a page
Each experience with the person contributes to a drawn representation.
Every learning curve about you
Every learning experience related to the person is a valuable lesson.
Is every lesson that I crave
Expressing a desire for personal growth through experiences with the person.
The road is closer to a storybook
The journey is more like a storybook than a vague recollection.
Than any fuzzy recollection you can find
Highlighting the vividness of the road compared to vague memories.
Home is something made of fairy tails
Home is idealized as something from fairy tales.
Home is, something at the moment,
At the moment, the concept of home is not applicable to the singer.
Just not mine
Clarifying the transient nature of the current state of 'home.'
I can miss you
Reaffirmation of the singer's right to miss someone.
I'm allowed to
Reiteration that the singer can allow themselves to miss someone.
You don't have to look my way
Others can understand the singer without direct eye contact.
I could draw you like a cartoon
Repeating the idea of drawing someone like a cartoon from memory to paper.
From a memory to a page
Reiterating the process of turning memories into tangible representations.
Every learning curve about you
Every learning experience related to the person is a valuable lesson.
Is every lesson that I crave
Expressing a desire for personal growth through experiences with the person.
I could draw you like a cartoon
Repeating the concept of drawing someone like a cartoon from memory to paper.
From a memory
Reiterating the transition from a memory to a tangible representation.
A memory to a page
Emphasizing the process of capturing memories on paper.
Every learning curve about you
Every learning experience related to the person is a valuable lesson.
Lives inside, that's where it stays
Stating that the impact of these experiences resides within, shaping the person.
