Joanna
Navigating Heartbreak: Hawk Nelson's Emotional Journey in 'Joanna'
Lyrics
Joanna sits on her porch, what am I to do
Contemplating what to do while seeing Joanna on her porch, feeling uncertain
I once was her boy but now we're done I'm feeling blue
He used to be her boyfriend, but now their relationship is over, and he's feeling sad
I'm getting out this town, Starbucks drive-thru
Planning to leave town, mentioning a visit to a Starbucks drive-thru
I reach for my cash and only find pictures of you
Trying to pay but finding only pictures of Joanna instead of cash
Should I call or should I run?
Contemplating whether to contact Joanna or leave
Turn around or just move on?
Debating whether to turn back or move forward without Joanna
Either choice I make I'm scared will still be wrong
Expressing fear of making the wrong choice regardless of what he decides
Take, take, take it till I just can't take it from you (Joanna)
Feeling overwhelmed by continuously enduring emotional pain from Joanna
Fake, fake, fake it till I just can't make it with you (Joanna)
Attempting to pretend or mask emotions to cope with the situation with Joanna
Say goodbye a hundred times, but never see it through
Repeatedly saying goodbye but struggling to actually end things with Joanna
The hardest way to say Joanna, I need you
Struggling to find a difficult way to express the need for Joanna despite the breakup
Took a trip out west, went to Saskatoon
Traveled to Saskatoon, perhaps seeking a change or distraction from thoughts of Joanna
To clear all the thoughts in my head, the only thoughts I knew
Trying to clear thoughts but finding that they're all about Joanna
Turned on the radio, a stupid thing to do
Listening to the radio but regretting it as all the songs remind him of Joanna
'Cause all the songs I hear remind me of you
Feeling triggered by songs that bring back memories of Joanna
Should I call or should I run?
Repeating the earlier contemplation of contacting Joanna or moving on
Turn around or just move on?
Debating whether to continue with the past or move forward without Joanna
Either choice I make I'm scared will still be wrong
Expressing fear of making the wrong choice again
Take, take, take it till I just can't take it from you (Joanna)
Enduring the continuous emotional strain caused by Joanna's presence or memory
Fake, fake, fake it till I just can't make it with you (Joanna)
Trying to cope by pretending or concealing emotions related to Joanna
Say goodbye a hundred times, and never see it through
Repeatedly attempting goodbyes but failing to follow through with them
The hardest way to say Joanna, I need you
Struggling to find a way to express the need for Joanna despite the difficulty
I need you
Emphasizing the strong need for Joanna
They say that love is more than a feeling
Reflecting on the complexity of love, suggesting it's more than just a feeling
But you gotta hear me out
Asking for attention and understanding
Take, take, take it till I just can't take it from you (Joanna)
Enduring the ongoing emotional pain caused by Joanna's presence or memory
Fake, fake, fake it till I just can't make it with you (Joanna)
Trying to cope by pretending or concealing emotions related to Joanna
Say goodbye a hundred times, and never see it through
Continuously attempting goodbyes but finding it hard to end things
The hardest way to say Joanna,
Struggling to find a difficult way to express the need for Joanna
The hardest way to say Joanna, I need you, Joanna
Reiterating the challenging aspect of expressing the need for Joanna despite the breakup
