Shells
Embracing Fragments: A Love Woven in Moments
Lyrics
And I know it's yours and mine now
The relationship is now shared between "you" and "I."
And I can't look in front or behind you now
Unable to focus on the past or future when with "you."
How could this be so right?
Expressing disbelief at how perfect the relationship feels.
I have glimpses of pianos and beaches
Recalling memories of pianos and beaches, suggesting nostalgic moments.
And I can't sleep without you reaching
Unable to sleep without the comforting presence of "you."
For me in the night
Describing the warmth and reassurance felt when "you" reach for the speaker at night.
You like the smell the burning of matches
Enjoying the scent of burning matches, emphasizing sensory experiences.
Our bodies wrapped up in more than blankets
Intimacy goes beyond physical warmth, involving emotional connection.
How could this be so right?
Reiterating the amazement at the rightness of the relationship.
I have had my circuits broken
Admitting past vulnerabilities and challenges.
Its not enough to keep me from wanting them
Desire for more than past experiences, seeking fulfillment.
I'm ablaze when you hold me tight
Feeling alive and passionate when held tightly by "you."
When you come in you leave your shoes by the door
Symbolic act of leaving worries (shoes) at the door upon entering.
I love when it rains and I love when it pours
Expressing love for both gentle and intense moments in life.
How could this be so right?
Repeating the wonderment at the rightness of the relationship.
I'm indebted to road signs and teachers
Acknowledging gratitude for guidance from signs and teachers.
Pull me into you in my bed, the kitchen
Yearning for closeness in various settings, including the kitchen.
And I'll warm your body with mine
Expressing a desire to provide warmth and comfort to "you."
My calf calibrating to your shin
Physical intimacy and connection between specific body parts.
Set off to try and belong again
Embarking on a journey to rediscover a sense of belonging.
Where hours do not equate to time
Challenging the conventional notion of time and its measurement.
You're stretching the lead out of my veins
Metaphorical representation of closeness and influence on the speaker.
At night I still hurtle through space
Nighttime reflections and a sense of moving through space.
Stopped only by your body curled into mine
Highlighting the comforting effect of being close to "you" at night.
I look at shells and I feel something
Contemplating emotions triggered by looking at shells.
I look at you and I feel everything
Emphasizing the depth of emotions felt when looking at "you."
I look at shells and I feel something
Repeating the emotional impact of looking at shells.
I look at you and I feel everything
Reiterating the profound emotions evoked by looking at "you."
