Be Back Soon
Craving Connections: Jodie Nicholson's Urban Odyssey
Lyrics
I crave the warmth of your city streets
I desire the comforting atmosphere of the urban landscape you inhabit
Mazes for pavements and thrills at your feet
The city streets are like mazes, offering excitement at every step
It's a life worth living
Life in this city is fulfilling and worthwhile
If you can bear that leaving
Living here is valuable, but the challenge lies in dealing with the pain of departure
Pulls you under
The act of leaving has a profound emotional impact, pulling one down
Was it a crime to leave you because I promised I'd be back sooner than later
Leaving was difficult, possibly seen as a betrayal despite the promise to return soon
Friends paint by numbers to colour you in
Friends contribute to the memories and essence of the city, becoming a part of it
Remain in our memory and under our skin
Memories of friends linger, deeply ingrained in one's identity
'Cause you're a life worth living
Your life is meaningful, but the pain of departure is hard to endure
But we can't bear that leaving
Leaving is challenging, even when the life left behind is worth living
Pulls us under
The act of leaving has a powerful emotional effect, dragging everyone involved down
It was a crime to leave you because we promised we'd be back sooner than later
Leaving felt like a wrongdoing, going against a promise to return promptly
And how could I
The speaker questions how they could justify their actions
Ever explain that I'm losing it
The speaker is struggling to convey the emotional turmoil without the presence of the other
Without you near
The absence of the other person is causing a sense of loss and emotional distress
And what if I
The speaker contemplates explaining the emotional struggle without the other person
Began to explain that I'm losing it
The speaker starts to express the difficulty of coping without the presence of the other
Without you near
The emotional distress continues without the comfort of the other person
Without you near
Reiteration of the intense desire for the warmth of the city streets, emphasizing the absence
I crave the warmth of your city streets
The speaker longs for the familiar and comforting environment of the city streets
