Love Song in 2020
Yearning in Isolation: Love's Resilience in 2020
Lyrics
I can't wait around and wait for you
I am unwilling to wait endlessly for you.
Like waiting for a sky so blue over Scranton to last longer than a two hour segment
Comparing waiting to the fleeting beauty of a clear sky over Scranton, emphasizing the brevity of certain experiences.
I find myself feeling awfully blue
Expressing a deep sense of sadness or depression.
Losing consciousness shopping for food in the Wegman's that pathetically makes me miss you
Feeling emotionally vulnerable while doing routine activities, such as shopping, and reminiscing about the absence of the person.
I'm so scared of hospitals and ICU's
Expressing fear of hospitals and intensive care units.
An abundance of constant bad news on the networks
Commenting on the overwhelming presence of negative news in the media.
The death and destruction of the earth
Reflecting on the global issues of death and destruction.
Now I'm scared that you will get sick too
Expressing concern about the loved one's well-being in the context of the prevailing health crisis.
In the event you do I love you and I'll forgive you
Expressing love and forgiveness in case the loved one falls ill.
for the Hell you forced me through
Referencing a challenging experience caused by the loved one.
But I want to feel you against my bones
Expressing a desire for physical closeness with the loved one.
Once more my love
Yearning to feel the loved one against the speaker's bones.
Once for us again
Expressing a desire for a shared experience or moment with the loved one.
Well all I can do is stay inside
Describing the speaker's confinement indoors due to external circumstances.
Maybe observe birds as they fly outside of my windows
Observing birds outside as a way to connect with the external world.
The gentle reminders that it's still spring you know?
Noting the seasonal reminder of spring but feeling hindered by external factors.
But it's hard to find security when fabric hides our ability to smile back at those
Struggling to find comfort and security behind masks that hide facial expressions.
Our daily duty to combat fear with hope
Highlighting the daily effort to combat fear with hope during challenging times.
But I want to feel you against my bones
Reiterating the desire for physical closeness with the loved one.
Once more my love
Yearning to feel the loved one against the speaker's bones once more.
Once for us again
Expressing the desire for a shared experience or moment with the loved one.
