Think It Over
Whispers of Love Underneath the Porch Light
Lyrics
One of these days
Anticipation of a future moment or event
When the time is feeling right
When the timing feels appropriate
And we’re standing underneath the yellow porch light
Being together in a specific setting under a yellow porch light
Before we part ways
Before parting ways
And say our goodbyes
Saying farewell
I can hear you whisper
Hearing a whispered conversation
In the still summer night
In the quiet of a summer night
And I’d think it over
Reflecting on thoughts and decisions
And you’d pull me closer
Intimacy and drawing nearer emotionally or physically
On that front porch I was raised on
Recalling memories of upbringing on a front porch
Now I’m grown
Maturing into adulthood
Oh, it’s been so long
Passage of a significant amount of time
How could I have known?
Realization of lack of prior knowledge
One of these nights
Another anticipated moment, specifically a night
When the sun is going down
As the sun sets
And the fireflies are rising over our little town
With the emergence of fireflies over their town
Before we part ways
Before departing from each other
You’ll tell me the truth
Revealing an important truth
Something I have always known but never heard from you
Confirming something known but never expressed before
And I’d think it over
Reflecting on thoughts and decisions (repeated theme)
And you’d pull me closer
Intimacy and drawing nearer emotionally or physically (repeated theme)
On that front porch I was raised on
Recalling memories of upbringing on a front porch (repeated theme)
Now I’m grown
Maturing into adulthood (repeated theme)
Oh it’s been so long
Passage of a significant amount of time (repeated theme)
How could I have known
Realization of lack of prior knowledge (repeated theme)
How could I have known
Repeated expression of not knowing something
How could I have known
Continuation of the uncertainty or lack of knowledge
How could I have known
Continuation of the uncertainty or lack of knowledge (repeated theme)
