Black Cherry
Whispers of Forbidden Love: Black Cherry by Gus Thompson
Lyrics
My heart flutters sometimes
Expressing occasional emotional excitement or nervousness in the heart.
When I got you on my mind
Thinking about a specific person, causing emotional response.
Black cherry
Reference to a metaphorical "black cherry," possibly symbolizing something enticing or mysterious.
I try to stifle my thirst
Attempting to suppress or control a strong desire.
I'd fill my mouth with your dirt
Expressing a willingness to embrace even the less desirable aspects of the person.
In fact I think I'd do worse
Suggesting a willingness to go to extremes for the person.
I don't know if we flirt
Uncertainty about whether there is a romantic connection with the person.
But I know it'll hurt
Acknowledging that pursuing the relationship may lead to emotional pain.
Cause I know it can't work
Realization that the relationship is not viable.
So at night when I'm lonely
Loneliness at night and seeking solace in the songs the artist writes.
It's only the songs that I write
The belief that the songs created by the artist are the only source of comfort.
That'll hold me
The power of the artist's own creations to provide emotional support.
Yeah my heart flutters sometimes
Reiteration of the emotional response when thinking about the person.
When I got you on my mind
Continuation of the impact of thinking about the person on the artist's emotions.
And how we said our goodbyes
Reflecting on the farewell or separation from the person.
Black cherry so fine
Repeating the reference to the mysterious and enticing "black cherry."
I'd pick you up every night
Expressing a commitment to pick up or pursue the person every night.
Stay out till the sun shines
Intending to stay out late until the morning.
And I'd stumble the earth
Willingness to face challenges and difficulties for the sake of the relationship.
Cause it's worth it
Acknowledging the value of the pursuit despite potential hardships.
The search for the perfect new person
The ongoing search for the ideal person, possibly indicating a longing for perfection.
But at night when I'm lonely
Reiteration of seeking solace in the artist's own songs during lonely nights.
It's only the songs that I write
Emphasizing the role of the artist's songs as a source of comfort.
That'll hold me
Reiterating the reliance on the artist's songs for emotional support during loneliness.
