Head to Head
Navigating Love's Turmoil: 'Head to Head' by Gin Wigmore
Lyrics
Oh, take my bones to build yourself a castle to roam
Offering oneself metaphorically to build something valuable for the other person.
And oh, take my eyes to see inside the heaven I stole
Willingness to sacrifice one's perspective for the sake of the relationship.
But hell, it's cold out and I can't sleep tonight
Expressing discomfort and difficulty sleeping due to emotional coldness.
But hell, it's cold out, I need you by my side
Desire for emotional warmth and the need for the other person's presence.
Going head to head
Questioning the nature of love, suggesting a confrontational or challenging aspect.
Is that how we're gonna love?
-Going head to head
-Is that how we're gonna love?
-No one can touch me like you do
Highlighting a unique and intense connection with the other person, acknowledging both pleasure and pain.
Love it but only from you
-Nobody hurts me like you do
-Love it but only from you
-Oh, let me in, your doors are made for thieves like me
Seeking entry into the other person's life despite potential dishonest intentions.
And oh, my skin goes flush when I think of your touch
Physical reaction to thoughts of the other person's touch, indicating desire.
But hell, it's cold out and I can't sleep tonight
Reiteration of discomfort and the inability to sleep without the other person.
But hell, it's cold out, I need you by my side
Expressing the need for companionship in the face of emotional coldness.
Going head to head
Raising questions about the intensity and nature of the love relationship.
Is that how we're gonna love?
-Going head to head
-Is that how we're gonna love?
-No one can touch me like you do
Reinforcing the unique and impactful nature of the emotional connection.
Love it but only from you
-Nobody hurts me like you do
-Love it but only from you
-Break my heart like I know you want to, like I know you want to
Acknowledging the likelihood of heartbreak and the combination of pain and pleasure in the relationship.
With your hands, hold my ruby red lips like a punch and a kiss
-Break my heart, break my heart
-Going head to head
Repeating the theme of questioning the form of love, emphasizing a potential struggle.
Is that how we're gonna love?
-Going head to head
-Is that how we're gonna love?
-No one can touch me like you do
Affirming the exclusive and intense nature of the emotional connection.
Love it but only from you
-Nobody hurts me like you do
-Love it but only from you
-No one can touch me like you do
Reiteration of the unique and irreplaceable nature of the emotional connection.
Love it but only from you
-Nobody hurts me like you do
-Love it but only from you
