Holyfield
Embracing Holyfield: Love Beyond the Seasons
Lyrics
Don't tell me you want me, if it's just the version that you've heard of in these streets Mmm
Expressing skepticism about someone's professed feelings, suggesting a desire for authenticity and not just a facade.
Bright/brilliant embodied, put your claim on me, who you came to see
Asking the person to assert their presence and make a genuine connection.
I'll play the leading role, of this movie you think you know, the one where I take you home
Assuming a role in a relationship, challenging preconceived notions, and hinting at a desire for a deeper connection.
I know how the seasons go, I've seen it all before and I don't care to see it anymore
Claiming experience and indifference to predictable patterns in relationships.
But if you want Holyfield where you hold me near
Expressing a desire for intimacy and emotional closeness, using the metaphor of Holyfield, a renowned boxer, for protection.
Then go ahead and swing for all the fences that they put us in
Encouraging boldness and resilience against societal constraints and expectations.
And if you're gonna call me tonight just make it every night for the rest of time cuz the Rest Is all I have of me that's left
Desiring constant connection and commitment, acknowledging the importance of the present moment.
So take it
Encouraging the other person to take the initiative and embrace the relationship.
Don't tell me you got me, if it's just to show your true colors when this is black and white Mmm
Warning against insincere gestures and a desire for honesty in the relationship.
If I go would you stop me? I wanna tell my friends about you but want you to be one too
Expressing a wish to share the relationship with others but wanting mutual commitment.
I'll play the leading role, of this movie you think you know, the one where I take you home
Reiterating the theme of assuming a role in the relationship, suggesting a desire to take the lead.
But I know how the seasons go
Acknowledging experience in relationships but expressing openness to new possibilities.
I've seen it all before but I see that you could give me more
Recognizing past experiences but expressing hope for something more fulfilling.
But if you want Holyfield where you hold me near
Repeating the desire for emotional closeness using the Holyfield metaphor.
Then go ahead and swing for all the fences that they put us in
Encouraging resilience against societal expectations, repeating the call for boldness.
And if you're gonna call me tonight just make it every night for the rest of time cuz the Rest is all I have of me that's left
Expressing the desire for a continuous and committed connection, emphasizing the importance of the present and the future.
So take it
Encouraging the other person to seize the opportunity and embrace the relationship.
