Let's Talk
Echoes of Longing: A Melodic Conversation with Johnny Cisneros
Lyrics
I called you on the phone
Initiating communication by making a phone call.
You said it's been a while
The recipient acknowledges it has been a considerable amount of time since they last spoke.
You felt alone
The recipient expresses feelings of loneliness.
The years kept coming back
The past memories or experiences are resurfacing.
When I heard your voice
The impact of hearing the caller's voice, creating a sense of familiarity and comfort.
And you felt like home
The caller, or the subject of the conversation, is reminiscent of home.
And if you wanna talk
Offering a willingness to engage in a conversation if the recipient desires.
I'll wait, for a little while
Expressing patience, indicating a readiness to wait for the recipient to open up.
And anything you wanna say
Encouraging the recipient to share anything on their mind.
I'll stay, just for the night
Committing to stay and support through the night, suggesting a longer, meaningful conversation.
I've been pushing on
Reflecting on personal struggles and challenges.
Pretending like
Acting as if everything is fine, possibly concealing inner turmoil.
I've been alright
Admitting that the facade of being okay is not genuine.
But I can't hide
Acknowledging the difficulty of hiding true emotions.
The feelings I've kept inside
Expressing emotions that have been kept hidden internally.
For time and time again
Reiterating the prolonged duration of emotional struggles.
Time and time again
Emphasizing the repetitive nature of facing emotional challenges.
And if you want to talk
Repeating the offer to engage in conversation, maintaining openness.
I'll wait, for a little while
Reaffirming patience and willingness to wait for the recipient to share.
And anything you wanna say
Encouraging the recipient to express anything they wish during the night.
I'll stay, just for the night
Committing to stay and provide support for the duration of the night.
