Love Will Come to You
Embracing Love's Healing Touch
Lyrics
Guess I wasn't the best one to ask
Expressing uncertainty about being the right person to seek advice from
Me myself with my face pressed
Feeling close to love but separated by a barrier
Up against love's glass
Metaphorically pressing against the barrier to get a glimpse of desired love
To see the shiny toy I've been hoping for
Referring to the desired love as a shiny toy
The one I never can afford
Expressing the unattainability of the desired love
The wide world spins and spits turmoil
Describing the chaotic nature of the world
And the nations toil for peace
Nations working hard for peace amid chaos
But the paws of fear upon your chest
Fear affecting one's emotional state
Only love can soothe that beast
Highlighting that only love can bring comfort
And my words are paper tigers
Acknowledging the limitation of words in dealing with inner struggles
No match for the predators of pain inside her
The inadequacy of words to combat internal pain
I say love will come to you
Expressing belief in the eventual arrival of love
Hoping just because I spoke the words that they're true
Hoping that spoken words will manifest as reality
As if I offered up a crystal ball to look through
Comparing words to a crystal ball offering insight into the future
Where there's now one there will be two
Anticipating the transformation from one to two in a relationship
I was born under the sign of cancer (love will come to you)
Referencing astrological sign (Cancer) as a part of personal identity
Like brushing cloth I smooth the wrinkles for an answer (love will come)
Using the act of smoothing wrinkles as a metaphor for seeking answers
And I'm always closing my eyes and wishing I'm fine (I close my eyes and wish you fine)
Closing eyes and wishing for well-being despite awareness of challenges
Even though I know I'm not this time (even though I know your not this time)
Acknowledging the current difficulty despite the desire for positivity
And I say love will come to you
Reiterating the belief in the arrival of love
Hoping just because I spoke the words that they're true
Repeating the hope that spoken words will bring about the desired outcome
As if I offered up a crystal ball to look through
Comparing words to a crystal ball offering insight into the future (repeated)
Where there's now one there will be two
Anticipating the transformation from one to two in a relationship (repeated)
Dodging your memories a field of knives
Avoiding painful memories that feel like a field of knives
Always on the outside looking in on other's lives
Feeling like an outsider observing others' lives
I say love will come to you
Reiterating the belief in the arrival of love (repeated)
Hoping just because I spoke the words that they're true
Repeating the hope that spoken words will bring about the desired outcome (repeated)
As if I offered up a crystal ball to look through (I have offered up to you)
Comparing words to a crystal ball offering insight into the future (repeated)
Where there's now one there will be two
Anticipating the transformation from one to two in a relationship (repeated)
And I wish her insight to battle love's blindness
Wishing the person insight to overcome love's challenges
Strength from the milk of human kindness
Seeking strength from compassion and empathy
A safe place for all the pieces that scattered
Desiring a safe space for emotional healing and recovery
Learn to pretend there's more than love that matters
Recognizing the importance of aspects beyond love in life
