Later On
Yearning Echoes: Love's Delayed Arrival
Lyrics
Speak in tongues
Expressing in a mysterious or incomprehensible language
Or breathe it into my lungs
Immerse deeply or fully into the essence
Fool me once
Deceived once
For fire, twice for fun
Deceived twice for amusement
That mix is still the only thing you play in your car
A particular mix of something is the only music played in your car
You count all the drinks they buy you, I’ll count the scars
You keep track of drinks received, while the speaker counts emotional scars
Wait for me to hit you up
Expecting the other person to initiate contact
By then I’ll be over the edge
Reaching a point of emotional extremity
Blues will breach my system by then
Depression or sadness will permeate the speaker's being
Two whole years, it could be rough
A significant span of time that might be challenging
History says that I’ll still feel the same
Despite the time passed, the emotions remain unchanged
Play me in pretend
Engaging in a make-believe scenario
And I want you to win
Desiring the other person to succeed
I have to commend
Expressing admiration
Our muscle memory back then
Recalling physical or emotional habits from the past
Evict the thought that you implode a new closet space
Rejecting the idea of making room for new emotional baggage
Cancel my subscription, cerebral overstay
Ending the mental subscription to lingering thoughts
Wait for me to hit you up
Anticipating a future contact from the other person
By then I’ll be over the edge
Being emotionally beyond a breaking point
Blues will breach my system by then
Sadness will infiltrate the speaker's thoughts by then
Two whole years, it could be rough
The challenging nature of a two-year period
History says that I’ll still feel the same
Expectation of unaltered feelings based on history
Later on, lay it on me
At a later time, reveal your emotions to me
When you finally decide that you want to love me
Expressing a desire for love in the future
Later on, lay it on me
Repeated expression of the desire for emotional revelation
Later on, lay it on me, later on lay it on
Continued emphasis on the desire for emotional revelation
Later on, lay it on me
Repeated expression of the desire for emotional revelation
When you finally decide that you want to love me
Expressing a desire for love in the future
Later on, lay it on me
Repeated expression of the desire for emotional revelation
Later on
Emphasizing a future point in time
Wait for me to hit you up
Anticipating a future contact from the other person
By then I’ll be over the edge
Reaching a point of emotional extremity
Blues will breach my system by then
Sadness will infiltrate the speaker's thoughts by then
Two whole years, it could be rough
The challenging nature of a two-year period
History says that I’ll feel the same
Expectation of unaltered feelings based on history
