You Want a Baby
Navigating Life's Dilemmas: Parenthood, Marriage, and Meaning
Lyrics
What's the point of having kids in a
Questioning the purpose of having children
What's the point of having kids in a world like this?
Expressing doubt about having kids in a challenging world
Where's their fate lie?
Raising questions about the destiny or future of the children
Are they here to keep us company
Wondering if children are meant to provide companionship
Just to give us both a meaning in life?
Questioning whether having children gives life meaning
Are we past the point of procreation
Contemplating if procreation is still relevant
If it doesn't matter if I do?
Questioning the significance of having children if it doesn't matter
My genes make me struggle
Reflecting on personal struggles caused by genetics
Why would I pass that off to you?
Questioning the ethical aspect of passing on struggles to offspring
And I don't mean to make you cry but I think that I might
Acknowledging the potential emotional impact on the partner
Have to make you one day
Considering the possibility of having a child in the future
You really want a baby
Acknowledging the partner's desire for a baby
And I really want to feel okay
Expressing the desire for personal well-being
And I don't mean to make you cry but I think that I'll try
Acknowledging the potential emotional impact again
To entertain the thought
Being open to considering the idea
'Cause you really want a baby
Acknowledging the partner's strong desire for a baby
And I want this shit to be less hard
Expressing a wish for life to be less difficult
What's the point of getting married in a time like this?
Questioning the purpose of marriage in a challenging time
If we do, I think we're doomed
Expressing skepticism about the success of marriage
You see how it starts and you see how it changes
Observing the dynamics and changes in relationships
And you see how it moves
Noting the inevitability and fluidity of relationships
As soon as it's a given and someone gives up
Highlighting the importance of not interfering with what works
And I'd rather not fix what's not fucked up
Expressing a preference for not fixing what isn't broken
And I like it here, I think I like it here
Expressing contentment with the current situation
I don't mean to make you cry but I think that I might
Acknowledging the potential emotional impact once more
Have to make you one day
Considering the possibility of marriage in the future
'Cause you want to get married
Acknowledging the partner's desire to get married
And I really don't feel the same
Expressing a lack of alignment with the desire for marriage
I don't mean to make you cry so I think that I'll try
Acknowledging the potential emotional impact yet again
To entertain the thought
Being open to considering the idea of marriage
'Cause you really want to be married
Acknowledging the partner's strong desire for marriage
I think that shit's way too hard
Expressing the belief that marriage is too challenging
