Lyrics
Take my time dear,
Expressing willingness to invest time
(It's all yours)
Implies giving oneself entirely to another
As the Earth goes round the Sun.
Referencing the cyclical nature of life
Life takes some fighting,
Life involves struggles and challenges
(And it leaves scars)
Struggles leave emotional wounds
And it keeps us on the run.
Life is continuous movement
This is a game I'm longing to play
Desire to engage in a particular experience
But I stumble at the start
Difficulty initiating the desired experience
If there's nothing, (tear our love apart)
Potential threat to the relationship
If this is just a lie, (tear our love apart)
Suspicion of deception in the relationship
There's still nowhere I would rather be
Despite doubts, prefers current situation
(Tear our love apart)
Recognition of fragility in the relationship
Now hold on tight
Urging to hold on firmly
I'm not frightened,
Lack of fear due to partner's protection
And you keep me safe from harm
Feeling of safety due to partner's presence
I'm not enlightened,
Admission of personal limitations
(Can't reach the stars)
Aspiration hindered but comfort found in partner
But I'm closer in your arms
Closeness and comfort in the relationship
There is a flame that flickers and sways
Comparing the relationship to a flickering flame
But it knows why we're apart
Acknowledgment of distance despite understanding
If there's nothing, (tear our love apart)
Potential threat to the relationship reemphasized
If this is just a lie, (tear our love apart)
Expressing doubt about the relationship's authenticity
There's still nowhere I would rather be
Still prefers the relationship despite uncertainty
(Tear our love apart)
Reiteration of relationship's vulnerability
If there's nothing, (tear our love apart)
Re-emphasizing the potential threat
No place, no time, (tear our love apart)
Emphasizing the absence of restrictions
There's still nowhere I would rather be
Despite freedom, prefers current situation
(Tear our love apart)
Reiteration of relationship's fragility
Now hold on tight
Urging to maintain a strong hold on the relationship
There's nothing to blame,
Stating absence of blame in the relationship
To get in our way
Nothing obstructing the relationship
Or tear our love apart
Reiteration of the absence of threats
If we're in the same place,
Physical proximity is inconsequential
It won't matter where we are
Emphasis on the relationship's strength
If there's nothing, (tear our love apart)
Re-emphasizing potential threat to the relationship
If this is just a lie, (tear our love apart)
Reiterating suspicion of deception
There's still nowhere I would rather be
Despite doubts, prefers current situation
(Tear our love apart)
Reiteration of relationship's fragility
If there's nothing, (tear our love apart)
Re-emphasizing potential threat to the relationship
If there's nothing, (tear our love apart)
Repetition for emphasis on potential threat
If there's nothing, (tear our love apart)
Continued emphasis on potential threat
If there's nothing
Continued focus on the absence of substance in the relationship
