Living This Way
Embracing Change: Navigating Life's Challenges with John Lewitt
Lyrics
Looking forward ain't so easy
Expressing difficulty in looking forward to the future.
With everything that's passed
Reflecting on past experiences or events that may affect the ability to look forward.
We've built a life we can rely on
Having established a dependable life that the speaker doesn't want to jeopardize.
One that I don't want to wreck
Expressing a desire to preserve the current stable life.
But I need comfort
Expressing a need for comfort.
I need the love that we once had
Desiring the return of past love or affection in the relationship.
Would you agree that ain't so bad
Asking for agreement that wanting past love is not a negative thing.
It's time to rise to the challenge
Encouraging the partner to face challenges and difficulties.
It's time to embrace all that we can
Encouraging embracing all opportunities and experiences.
'Cause I don't want to waste
Expressing a desire not to waste time living in the current unsatisfactory way.
Another year living this way
Emphasizing the urgency to change the current lifestyle within the next year.
Do you see how I am feeling
Asking if the partner understands the speaker's emotions.
Or am I way off mark
Questioning if the speaker's feelings are accurately perceived or misunderstood.
Am I building a mid life crisis
Suspecting the possibility of a mid-life crisis as an explanation for the current situation.
To explain where we now are
Suggesting that a mid-life crisis could be used to explain the current state of the relationship.
Where is the girl
Wondering about the transformation of the partner from the past.
That once was uncontained inside
Recalling a time when the partner's personality was unrestrained and vibrant.
The one who sold me on this life
Remembering the partner's influence in convincing the speaker to choose the current life path.
It's time to rise to the challenge
Reiterating the need to face challenges in the relationship.
It's time to embrace all that we can
Encouraging a comprehensive embrace of all available opportunities.
'Cause I don't want to waste
Re-emphasizing the urgency not to waste time living in the current unsatisfactory way.
Another year living this way
Stressing the importance of making positive changes within the next year.
It's time to rise to the challenge
Repeating the call to face challenges in the relationship.
It's time to embrace all that we can
Reiterating the encouragement to embrace all available opportunities.
'Cause I don't want to waste
Re-emphasizing the urgency not to waste time living in the current unsatisfactory way.
Another year living this way
Stressing the importance of making positive changes within the next year.
