If You'd Let Me
Dreaming of Love: Joe Wilson's Melodic Yearning
Lyrics
I just brushed my teeth you know what that means
I have just finished brushing my teeth, symbolizing preparation or getting ready.
A mouth full of foam and your staring at me
I have foam in my mouth, and you are looking at me, possibly suggesting intimacy or connection.
I'm singing in your voice I've been practicing
I'm singing using your voice, indicating a desire to emulate or connect with the other person.
Hoping one day that your the real thing
Hoping that one day you will be the real thing, expressing a longing for authenticity in the relationship.
And maybe you'd actually stand next to me
Hoping for closer proximity and genuine connection.
Spit on the back of my neck while I'm leaning in the sink
A playful or intimate moment, with spit on the neck while leaning in the sink.
You laugh at me when I kiss your cheek
You laugh when I kiss your cheek, possibly a lighthearted or affectionate interaction.
If you'd let me
Expressing a desire for permission or acceptance in the relationship.
Now we have our plan, you giggled in your hands
A shared plan with laughter, possibly indicating a joint endeavor or adventure.
You tried to convince me that the sounds in the trees
Trying to convince about the sounds in nature, perhaps a shared appreciation for the environment.
Footsteps in the woods, monsters up to no good
Reference to potential dangers in the woods, with a playful tone.
I'll take first watch if you'll promise to sleep next to me
Offering to take the first watch, expressing a protective and caring sentiment.
So I can learn your face with my hands
Wanting to memorize the other person's face through touch.
Just in case we never meet again
Preparing for the possibility of not meeting again in reality, cherishing the memory.
At least I'll have this memory
Highlighting the value of the shared memory even if they don't meet again.
If you'd let me
Reiterating the desire for permission or acceptance in the relationship.
I'm working on the floor of our majestic tree fort
Describing work on a shared project, possibly a metaphor for building their relationship.
You know, the one where we live away from everyone else
Expressing a desire to live away from others, seeking isolation or intimacy.
If were gonna keep them out we should find a taller tree
Suggesting the need for increased protection in their shared space.
Move to the top where no one can see
Moving to a more secluded location for privacy.
We'll need thicker walls and a permanent guard but for now
Discussing the need for increased security measures.
it's your turn to watch and it's my turn to sleep
Establishing a routine for shared responsibilities.
Then it hit me, this whole time I've been asleep
A realization that the experiences may have been dreamlike or not fully real.
And you were never even next to me it was just a dream
Recognition that the other person was not actually present, possibly a moment of disappointment or realization.
So I'll stay asleep and meet you in dreams
Choosing to remain in the dream realm to meet the person there.
If you'd let me
Reiterating the desire for permission or acceptance within the dream context.
If you'd let me
Repetition of the desire for permission or acceptance, possibly emphasizing its importance.
If you'd let me.
