Five Years
Five Years of Unspoken Longing: A Symphony of Heartache and Redemption
Lyrics
Oh I know that you are one of a kind
Expressing the uniqueness of the person addressed.
I still think of you
Continued thoughts and lingering feelings about the person.
And I’m sorry that it took all this time
Apologizing for the time elapsed since last contact.
I still think of you
Reiteration of persistent thoughts about the person.
I know I gave up too soon
Acknowledging premature abandonment of the relationship.
I’m done playing it cool
Rejecting a facade of indifference or detachment.
It’s been 5 years
Highlighting the duration of time since the separation.
And I still cannot move on, I can’t move on
Expressing difficulty in moving on emotionally.
Oh thunder
Yearning for a powerful emotional release.
Gimme Lightning
Desiring a dramatic and intense experience.
'Cause these grey skies
Commenting on prolonged melancholy or sadness.
Have been hanging here too long
Suggesting a need for change or resolution to gloomy circumstances.
Oh I’m stuck and I don’t know how to get out
Feeling trapped and uncertain about how to escape emotional stagnation.
Cause I still want you
Admitting continued desire for the person despite difficulties.
So cut me loose, I‘d rather hit the ground
Preferring a painful separation over emotional entanglement.
Oh I still want you
Reaffirming persistent emotional attachment.
Oh it’s time you know the truth
Declaring the need for honesty and openness.
I’m done playing it cool
Rejecting pretense or artificial behavior.
T h e h e a r t i s a s y m m e t r i c a l
Reflecting on the asymmetry and unpredictability of emotions.
Stop drawing perfect ones
Encouraging acceptance of imperfections in love and relationships.
