I'd Rather Be With You
Embracing Love's Bold Journey: Joshua Radin's 'I'd Rather Be With You'
Lyrics
Sitting here, on this lonely dock
Sitting alone on a dock, contemplating.
Watch the rain play on the ocean top
Observing raindrops on the ocean surface.
All the things I feel I need to say
Expressing emotions that are difficult to articulate.
I can't explain in any other way
Unable to explain feelings in any other way.
I need to be bold
Desire for courage and boldness.
Need to jump in the cold water
Willingness to take risks and face challenges.
Need to grow older with a girl like you
Aspiring to grow old with a specific person.
Finally see you are naturally
Acknowledging the natural compatibility with the person.
The one to make it so easy
Recognizing the person's ability to make things easy.
When you show me the truth
Finding truth and authenticity in the person.
Yeah, I'd rather be with you
Expressing a preference to be with that person.
Say you want the same thing too
Seeking confirmation that the person wants the same.
Now here's the sun, come to dry the rain
Transitioning to a brighter, positive phase.
Warm my shoulders and relieve my pain
Describing the warmth and relief brought by the sun.
You're the one thing that I'm missing here
Identifying the essential missing element (the person).
With you beside me I no longer fear
Feeling fearless with the person by one's side.
I need to be bold
Reiteration of the need for boldness.
Need to jump in the cold water
Reaffirming the readiness to face challenges.
Need to grow older with a girl like you
Expressing a desire to age alongside the person.
Finally see you are naturally
Acknowledging the natural compatibility once again.
The one to make it so easy
Recognizing the person's ability to simplify life.
When you show me the truth
Finding truth and authenticity through the person.
Yeah, I'd rather be with you
Reiterating a preference for being with the person.
Say you want the same thing too
Seeking mutual confirmation of shared desires.
I could have saved so much time for us
Reflecting on time that could have been saved.
Had I seen the way to get to where I am today
Realization of the path that led to the current situation.
You waited on me for so long
Acknowledging the person's patience and waiting.
So now, listen to me say
Preparing to convey a significant message.
I need to be bold
Reiteration of the need for boldness and courage.
Need to jump in the cold water
Renewed commitment to facing challenges head-on.
Need to grow older with a girl like you
Expressing the desire to grow old with the person.
Finally see you are naturally
Reaffirming the natural compatibility with the person.
The one to make it so easy
Recognizing the person's role in making life easy.
When you show me the truth
Finding truth and authenticity in the person's presence.
Yeah, I'd rather be with you
Reiterating a preference for being with the person.
Say you want the same thing too
Seeking mutual confirmation of shared desires.
Say you feel the way I do
Asking if the person feels the same way.
