Leaving It Up to You
Navigating Unfinished Symphonies of Love
Lyrics
I walk past the buildings of an architect's un-imagination
Reflecting on uninspiring architecture, possibly representing a lack of creativity or imagination.
Returning to the venue where we had that very first conversation
Returning to the place where the initial conversation occurred, suggesting a desire to reconnect.
To see you again, to be your friend, to hold you in my mind
Expressing the wish to see the person again, be friends, and keep them in mind.
And I arrived there early and as always you swanned in much later
Highlighting punctuality differences and a nonchalant attitude, emphasizing a sense of familiarity.
As if nothing had ever changed, you nod at me and order your double mixer
Describing the person's unchanged demeanor and actions, ordering a familiar drink.
To see you again, to be your friend, to hold you in my mind
Reiterating the desire to meet again, be friends, and remember the person.
Leaving it up, leaving it up, leaving it up
Leaving decisions and actions to the other person, indicating a passive approach to the relationship.
Leaving it up to you
-Leaving it up, leaving it up, leaving it up
-Leaving it up to you
-And I've been told your new playmate's successful and he's handsome and he's charming
Mentioning information about a new companion, expressing a potential threat to the current relationship.
It's a damn good job, he isn't here or I may have wind up harming your darling
Expressing a protective sentiment, suggesting a willingness to defend against potential harm to the person.
To see you again, to be your friend, to hold you in my mind
Reiterating the desire to see the person, be friends, and keep them in mind despite external factors.
Leaving it up, leaving it up, leaving it up
Continuing the theme of leaving decisions and outcomes to the other person, emphasizing passivity.
Leaving it up to you
-Leaving it up, leaving it up, leaving it up
-Leaving it up to you
-Leaving it up, leaving it up, leaving it up
-Leaving it up to you
-Leaving it up, leaving it up, leaving it up
-Leaving it up to you
-We laughing and we joking like we always, always used to
Recalling past interactions with laughter and jokes, creating a contrast with the current situation.
Too rudely interrupted by your half-wit of a boyfriend who tries to call you
Introducing interference from a new boyfriend, suggesting a disruptive element in the relationship.
To see you again, to be your friend, to hold you in his mind
Expressing the desire to meet again and be friends, acknowledging the boyfriend's presence in the person's mind.
Leaving it up, leaving it up, leaving it up
Repeating the theme of leaving decisions to the other person, possibly indicating a lack of control or assertiveness.
Leaving it up to you
-Leaving it up, leaving it up, leaving it up
-Leaving it up to you
-Leaving it up, leaving it up, leaving it up
-Leaving it up to you
-Leaving it up, leaving it up, leaving it up
-Leaving it up to you
-Leaving it up, leaving it up, leaving it up
-Leaving it up to you
-Leaving it up, leaving it up, leaving it up
-Leaving it up to you
