Baby in The Corner
Love's Labyrinth: A Soul's Reflection
Lyrics
I held your hand
I provided support and comfort by holding your hand.
Held your hair
I took care of your appearance by attending to your hair.
Kept your demons far from there
I kept your inner struggles or troubles away from our relationship.
Even more than what you mean to me
I cared for you even more than you realize.
I scrubbed your clothes
I cleaned and took care of your clothing.
Scrubbed your phone
I cleaned your phone, ensuring your privacy and well-being.
Kept you safe from what you'd done
I protected you from the consequences of your actions.
Wonder if you'd do the same for me?
Questioning whether you would reciprocate the same care for me.
Thought I'd try to call tonight
Expressing an intention to call, but hesitating due to timing issues.
Never found the timing right
Unable to find the right moment to make the call.
As the neon fades to black
Reflecting on a moment as external distractions fade away.
Are you okay?
Concern for your well-being, asking if you are okay.
To hear your voice
Expressing a desire to hear your voice.
Would mean you've yelled above the noise
Suggesting that hearing your voice means you've overcome challenges.
And that's enough to send you back
Positive changes are enough to bring you back to me.
Trying and trying
Persistently attempting to keep someone at a distance.
To put baby in the corner
Referencing the struggle to keep someone away, symbolized by "baby in the corner."
But she always finds her way back to me
Despite efforts, the person returns to the speaker.
Combing through my misery
Reflecting on past difficulties and challenges.
Of things I've lost and things I've seen
Recalling both losses and experiences in life.
That's when she corners me
The challenging moments bring back the person ("baby") to the speaker.
Many years have past us by
Many years have passed since our initial connection.
Separate Ways
Acknowledging separate paths in life.
Separate Lives
Living different lives despite shared history.
Still I find my thoughts betray
The speaker's thoughts are still connected to the person.
Wonder if you're happy now
Curiosity about the current happiness of the person.
Who you're with
Questions about the person's current relationships and location.
And where's your house
Considering whether the person would stay or leave in the current circumstances.
Would you leave or would you stay
Continued struggle to keep someone away.
Trying and trying
Reiterating the difficulty of keeping "baby in the corner."
To put baby in the corner
Despite efforts, the person returns once again.
But she always finds her way back to me
The recurring cycle of challenges and the return of the person.
Combing through my misery
Reflecting on past difficulties and challenges.
Of things I've lost and things I've seen
Recalling both losses and experiences in life.
That's when she corners me
The challenging moments bring back the person ("baby") to the speaker.
Trying and trying
Persistently attempting to keep someone at a distance.
To put baby in the corner
Reiterating the struggle to keep someone away.
But she always finds her way back to me
Despite efforts, the person returns to the speaker.
Combing through my misery
Reflecting on past difficulties and challenges.
Of things I've lost and things I've seen
Recalling both losses and experiences in life.
That's when she corners me
The challenging moments bring back the person ("baby") to the speaker.
It's when she corners me
Highlighting the specific moments when the person returns or reconnects.
