Joy is Suspicious
Navigating Love's Complex Terrain: Joy and Suspicion
Lyrics
Now that love's on paper, expensive phone calls, remorse
Reflection on love being documented on paper, accompanied by costly phone calls and regret.
Kill for what you're losing, take out your sweet heart
Willingness to harm for the sake of preserving what is being lost; a plea to protect a loved one.
Dress feels so heavy, don't even know if I can bear it
Sense of burden and uncertainty about handling emotions, particularly in terms of attire.
Standing in our moment and we can't even share it
Inability to share a significant moment together despite being present.
