In Motion
Love's Slow Dance: Unveiling the Rhythmic Meaning of 'In Motion'
Lyrics
What was the first thing that I said to you?
Asking about the first words spoken in the relationship.
You're making plans
Noticing the other person making plans.
Want wedding bands
Expressing a desire for commitment and marriage.
Want love so grand
Seeking deep and grand love.
Usually, that's not how it happens
Reflecting on the unexpected nature of love.
Quit making plans
Advising to stop making plans and instead understand the flow of love.
Quit making plans
-And understand
Emphasizing the importance of moving slowly in love.
I move slow to real love
Stating a preference for a gradual development of real love.
Let's just say it happens
Imagining a positive outcome where love naturally happens.
It all works and we find ourselves laying in my bed
Describing a scenario where they find themselves in bed together.
Like we hoped we would, oh but we never should
Acknowledging the contradiction of being in a desired situation they shouldn't be in.
But won't it feel so good?
Questioning the potentially pleasurable aspect of the forbidden situation.
Cooking up rhythms with you
Metaphorically cooking up rhythms and emphasizing the soothing power of love.
There ain't no trouble in this world that making love can't soothe
-Cause to me that's the recipe to honey and sugar
-And a touch of a casual vibe
-I'm cooking up rhythms with you
Continuing the metaphor, suggesting that if it's too much, they are just passing through.
And if that's more than you can handle then I'm just passing through
-And I hope that you know, I hope you can follow through
Expressing hope that the other person can follow through with the motions of love.
The motions with me
Highlighting the importance of going through the motions together.
Skipped out on work a day let's meet up at the park
Suggesting a casual meet-up and encouraging enjoying the moment and the music.
Do you have things to do? If not, do you want to?
-Kick it with me, slap back and feel the melody
-Touch the beat taste the rhythm, don't forget to give it space
-Can't stop worrying about you
Expressing concerns about the other person and acknowledging personal responsibilities.
I gotta stop worrying bout you
-I got my own things to do I know you do too
-I got my own things to do I know you do too
-I got my own things to do, I heard you that day, I hurt you that day
Apologizing for unintentional hurtful actions and words.
Didn't mean it that way, mean it that way
-But what did I say?
Reflecting on the initial words spoken and questioning their impact.
What was the first thing I said to you?
Repeating the question about the first words said to emphasize its significance.
I don't fall hard no more
Declaring a resistance to falling deeply in love.
You disbelieve, but it's true
Addressing the other person's disbelief in their aversion to deep emotions.
So when our hearts hit the floor
Raising a hypothetical situation where emotions are deeply felt, questioning the response.
What will we do?
-Can't stop won't stop gotta stop gotta stop
Reiterating the struggle to stop worrying about the other person.
Gotta stop worrying bout you
