Cotton Candy
Love's Crossroads: Jessie Reyez's Emotional Journey in 'Cotton Candy'
Lyrics
Trying to brace myself worried you won't call
Expressing anxiety and anticipation, fearing a lack of communication from the other person.
Don't know where your head's at
Uncertainty about the other person's thoughts or feelings.
Or if you love me at all, anymore
Concern about the diminishing love or connection in the relationship.
Can't wait to show you all the worlds I'm gonna gift you
Excitement about the prospect of sharing various experiences and worlds with the partner.
If you let me
Repetition emphasizes the desire for mutual consent and willingness from the partner.
If you let me
-I know this road too well
Having experience in navigating the challenges of a relationship.
Don't wanna see you at a bar
Unwillingness to witness the partner in a social setting, regretting a lack of effort.
And think we could have tried a little harder (little harder)
Regret about not trying hard enough and the fear of losing the relationship.
Don't wanna see you at a bar
-And maybe you start thinking
-"Damn, I lost her" (damn, I lost her)
-Ooh, baby, don't lose me now (baby, don't lose me now)
Emphatic plea to the partner not to lose the speaker in the relationship.
Baby, don't lose me now (baby, don't lose me now)
-Baby, don't lose me now
-Baby, don't lose me now
-Still waiting for your call
Waiting for the partner's call and expecting support during difficult times.
Aren't you the one that's supposed to pick me up when I fall
Highlighting the partner's role in providing emotional support during challenges.
Nothing's easy in this world
Acknowledging the difficulties inherent in life and relationships.
Baby, believe me
Expressing hope that the partner recognizes the speaker's struggles and efforts.
I just hope you see it when you see me
-I know this road too well
Reiteration of familiarity with the challenges of the relationship.
Don't wanna see you at a bar
Repeating the fear of losing the relationship due to insufficient effort.
And think we could have tried a little harder (little harder)
-Don't wanna see you at a bar
-And maybe you start thinking
-"Damn, I lost her" (damn, I lost her)
-Ooh, baby, don't lose me now (baby, don't lose me now)
Repeating the plea not to lose the speaker in the relationship.
Baby, don't lose me now (baby, don't lose me now)
-Baby, don't lose me now
-Baby, don't lose me now
