Ruby in the Rearview
Love's Evolution: Unveiling Depths in Dear Virginia
Lyrics
I know the places you like to be touched
Understanding the preferred points of physical contact for the person addressed.
I know the streets where your parents grew up
Familiarity with the neighborhoods where the addressee's parents grew up.
As we gather days, planting roots here in dear Virginia
Building a life in Virginia and establishing deep connections over time.
I still refine what I know about love
Continuously learning and refining one's understanding of love.
I know the size and the shape of your fear
Knowing the specific dimensions and contours of the addressee's fears.
As we barrel towards an election this year
Acknowledging the approach of a significant election year.
The doe in the yard doesn't know a thing of revelations
Observing the innocence of a deer in the yard, unaware of impending revelations.
She holds your eyes as the clouds start to clear
The addressee's eyes captivate, even as uncertainties dissipate.
Ohh...
Expressing an emotional response or emphasis.
It's not a home if you can't speak your mind
Defining the essence of a home as a place where one can freely express thoughts.
So we wished them well and then left them behind
Wishing well to others and moving forward, leaving the past behind.
Held by a star burning ruby in the rearview mirror
Symbolizing a strong connection or commitment represented by a star in the rearview mirror.
You turn the dial to that station you like
Tuning into a preferred radio station, possibly holding sentimental value.
Ohh...
Reiteration of emotional emphasis or response.
I'm not ashamed
Asserting a lack of shame in the relationship.
I'm not ashamed of us
Emphasizing pride and lack of shame in the collective identity.
Walking away
Choosing to walk away from a situation.
Wanting a safer love
Desiring a love that feels safer and more secure.
No, I'm not ashamed
Reiterating the absence of shame in the relationship.
I'm not ashamed of us
Emphasizing pride and lack of shame in the collective identity (repeated).
Walking away
Choosing to walk away from a situation (repeated).
And wanting a safer love
Expressing a desire for a love that feels safer and more secure (repeated).
