Whatever My Heart Allows
Embracing the Depths: Whatever My Heart Allows by Jake Manzi
Lyrics
Push me right up against the wall
Expressing a desire for intimacy by being pushed against a wall.
Don't let me say anything at all
Preferring silence, indicating a vulnerability or difficulty in expressing feelings verbally.
'Cause when I take time to think
Contemplating emotions and struggling to understand personal feelings.
I can't tell how I feel
Uncertainty about one's emotions and difficulty in self-awareness.
People I meet, they make me so tired
Feeling drained or exhausted by interactions with others.
And I know I'm here but it's like I'm hardly alive
Expressing a sense of emotional numbness or detachment.
So when I turn to you please don't turn away
Seeking support and connection from someone important.
Though I'm still not sure if I can even stay
Expressing uncertainty about commitment or staying in a relationship.
But go on and turn the light right out
Suggesting a willingness to be vulnerable and open despite uncertainties.
I'll give all the love I'm allowed
Committing to giving love within the boundaries allowed by the situation.
Whatever my heart allows
Stating a commitment to love within personal limits.
Every time I didn't let you in
Reflecting on past moments of emotional resistance.
It was just my heart saying "here we go again"
Acknowledging a pattern of reluctance to open up emotionally.
But I know now, I know I wasn't right
Recognizing past mistakes and admitting a lack of understanding.
'Cause I look at you and I've never seen so much light
Expressing awe and admiration for the brightness or positivity in the other person.
So go on and turn the light right out
Reiterating a commitment to love within personal limits despite uncertainties.
I'll give you all the love I'm allowed
Committing to giving maximum love within the allowed boundaries.
Whatever my heart allows
Reiterating a commitment to love within personal limits despite uncertainties.
Whatever my heart allows
Emphasizing the commitment to love within personal boundaries.
Whatever my heart allows
Repeating the commitment to love within personal limits.
So turn the light right out, go on
Encouraging the extinguishing of light, symbolizing intimacy or vulnerability.
And we'll find all the love we'll allow
Anticipating finding and experiencing love within the allowed boundaries.
