I'll Be Here
Embracing Solitude: Unraveling the Complex Dance of Relationships in Grace Ivry's 'I'll Be Here'
Lyrics
I hate confusion
I dislike confusion.
So why can't I pick myself up
Despite my aversion to confusion, I struggle to lift myself emotionally.
And learn this
I need to understand and master this situation.
It's simple
The solution is straightforward.
I should be through with this
I should have moved on from this.
But my arms stretch out wide
However, I still reach out emotionally, seeking connection.
So I can feel again
I extend my arms wide to experience emotions once more.
When there's no one there
Even in the absence of others.
Turn the page
Suggesting a desire for change or progress.
Hope we're there
Expressing hope for a positive outcome or destination.
Maybe smaller
Possibly referring to the hope for a more modest or manageable situation.
You'd be taller
Implies that if things were simpler, you would be better off.
I'll be here
Assurance of being present and available.
All these years
Commitment to staying present over an extended period.
I won't leave but
Despite the commitment, an awareness that the other person may leave.
I know you'll go
An acknowledgment of the inevitability of separation.
I wake up early
Starting the day early with an attempt to connect.
And call your phone
Initiating contact through a phone call.
See your name in my hand
Seeing the other person's name, seeking comfort in the familiarity.
So I don't feel lonely
Trying to alleviate loneliness through the connection.
Then I hit my head against the wall
Expressing frustration, possibly self-inflicted, through physical action.
'Cause it's my fault that I am like this
Taking responsibility for the current emotional state.
Turn the page
Repeating the desire for change or progression.
Hope we're there
Reiterating hope for a positive outcome or destination.
Maybe smaller
Repeating the hope for a more modest or manageable situation.
You'd be taller
Repeating the idea that simplicity would lead to improvement.
I'll be here
Reaffirming the commitment to being present.
All these years
Reiterating the commitment to staying present over time.
I won't leave but
Repeating the acknowledgment of the likelihood of the other person leaving.
I know you'll go
Reiterating the awareness of the inevitability of separation.
