To Be Loved
Yearning for Love: Jacob Westfall's Poignant Reflections
Lyrics
You said I was brave to love you
You acknowledged that I showed courage in loving you
And I think that's the truth
This acknowledgment is genuine, and I believe it's accurate
Cause I'm scared to let you go
I'm afraid of letting you go and moving on to a new relationship
And move on to something new
Expressing reluctance to move forward without you
If you need a world to discover
If you have a world to explore or discover, I'll support you in reaching that
I'll let you go and reach you there
Willingness to let the person go for personal growth
If you need the taste of another Oh I don't care
Openness to them experiencing new things, even if it involves others
I can't compare oooh
Expressing inability to compare to potential new experiences
I can't compare
Reiterating the inability to compare
You're stumblin' around the bar
Describing the person stumbling in a bar
Your brother picked you up and took you home
Details about the person's brother picking them up and taking them home
I heard you lost your keys in the dark
Mention of losing keys in the dark
I'm sorry I wasn't there
Expressing regret for not being there during a difficult moment
I'm really glad that he could get you
Gratitude that someone else could assist in the situation
Before you drove and crashed your car
Relief that the person didn't drive and crash their car
I wish that I could come and help you
Expressing a wish to help, despite currently being apart
But we're taking time apart.
Indicating a period of separation for personal reasons
If you need a world to discover
Reiteration of support for the person's self-discovery
I'll let you go and reach you there
Willingness to let go and allow the person to find themselves
If you need the taste of another Oh I don't care
Indifference to the person exploring other tastes or relationships
I can't compare oooh
Reiteration of the inability to compare to potential new experiences
I can't compare oooh
-I'm not mad about it, I just wish we found it
Expressing lack of anger, but a desire to have found something together
All I want is to be loved
Expressing a simple desire to be loved
I'm not mad about it, I just wish we had it
Repeating the lack of anger and the wish for shared love
All I want is to be loved
Reiteration of the desire for love
I'm not mad about it, I just wish we found it
Repeating the lack of anger and the wish for shared love
All I want is to be loved
Reiteration of the desire for love
I'm not mad about it
Emphasis on not harboring negative feelings
I just want you to be happy
Expressing a simple desire for the person's happiness
All I want is to be loved
Final emphasis on the central desire for love
Loved, Loved
Repetition of the word "Loved" for emphasis
I want you to be loved
Expressing a direct wish for the person to be loved
I want you to be loved
Repetition of the wish for the person to be loved
I want you to be loved
Continued repetition of the wish for the person to be loved
By someone out there
Desire for the person to be loved by someone out there
I want you to be loved
Repetition of the desire for the person to be loved
I want you to be loved
Continued repetition of the desire for the person to be loved
I want you to be loved
-By someone out there
Desire for the person to be loved by someone out there
I want you to be loved
Repetition of the desire for the person to be loved
I want you to be loved
Continued repetition of the desire for the person to be loved
I want you to be loved
-By someone out there
Final desire for the person to be loved by someone out there
