I Can't Keep Both
Dilemma of the Heart: Choosing Between Yukon Adventures and Ontarian Comfort
Lyrics
I'm under the spell
I feel entrapped or influenced by a powerful force.
I now know wild Yukon highways fairly well
I now have a good understanding of the wild Yukon highways.
Though those boring Ontarian roads feel like home
Although the Ontarian roads are dull, they evoke a sense of familiarity and comfort.
So far apart, I can't keep both
Being far apart from two contrasting experiences, I'm unable to maintain both.
How am I supposed to choose
I'm faced with the dilemma of making a choice.
Between the two?
The choice is between two options.
There are two parts of me telling me two different things
Internal conflict arises as two aspects of myself advise differently.
Please, don't make me choose
A plea not to force a decision upon me.
I'm under the spell
Reiteration of feeling under a compelling influence.
Of getting close with a few folks I don't know well
Engaging closely with unfamiliar individuals, creating a sense of vulnerability.
Though there's one I really know who feels like home
Despite many acquaintances, there's someone familiar who feels like home.
I'm gonna' break somebody's heart, I can't keep both
Acknowledging the impending heartbreak as a result of a difficult choice.
How am I supposed to choose
The struggle to choose between two conflicting options continues.
Between the two?
The dilemma persists, and the choice remains challenging.
I've got two parts of me telling me two different things
Internal conflict intensifies with conflicting advice from different aspects of self.
Please, don't make me choose
A plea reiterating the difficulty of the decision-making process.
Don't make me choose
An additional plea not to force a decision.
I'm so far apart, I'm gonna break my heart
Feeling emotionally torn and recognizing that a choice will result in personal heartbreak.
I can't keep both
An affirmation of the impossibility of maintaining both options.
