Part Time
Love's Transient Dance: Jordan Robertson's 'Part Time' Reflections
Lyrics
We kissed and said goodbye
We shared a farewell kiss
Just like the usual
Our goodbye was typical, as expected
You left and I got high
You departed, and I indulged in substances, a familiar pattern
It's what I'm used to
This behavior is customary for me
But we lived our separate lives
We led separate lives despite our love being part-time
Our love was part time
Our relationship was not constant or full-time
And I waited for a sign
I eagerly anticipated a signal or indication
You're hard to read though
You are challenging to understand
And I wanted you to know
I desired you to be aware
Yes I wanted you to know
Emphasizing the desire for your awareness
I wanted you
I desired you
I never wanted to fall in love (Never meant to fall in love, never meant to fall)
I never intended to fall in love (repeated)
But you don't miss it until it's gone (Always in the end, never meant to fall)
Realization that love is missed only when it's lost (repeated)
I never wanted to fall in love
Reiteration of not wanting to fall in love
You told me not to wait (Told me not to wait)
You advised me not to wait
You said go crazy
You encouraged me to be wild and unrestrained
And I know that you won't wait
Acknowledging that you won't wait for me
Still a nice thought though
Despite that, it's a pleasant thought
But in case you change your mind
In case you reconsider, I'll be available
You know I'll be there
I'm willing to leave everything behind for you
And I'd leave it all behind
However, my strength has its limits
I'm not that strong though
Reiterating the desire for you to know
And I wanted you to know
Re-emphasizing the wish for your awareness
Yea I wanted you know
Underlining the strong desire for you to know
I wanted you
Expressing the intense want for you
