Selfish Wishes
Selfish Longings: The Struggle of Unspoken Desires
Lyrics
Don't ask me twice
Declining a request without needing a second ask
My reply's the same
Consistent response regardless of repeated inquiry
And I don't want it to weigh you down
Not wanting a matter to burden the other person
Still I gotta say
Expressing a need to communicate despite reluctance
At least half of me
Half of the speaker is well, but the other half is troubled
Is fine but I'm in a bad place
Admitting to being in a difficult emotional state
Weaker
Noticing a vulnerability or decrease in strength
You grow a little weaker
Observing the other person becoming weaker
When I'm with ya
Weakening when in the company of the speaker
Deeper
Experiencing a deeper emotional connection
You fall a little deeper
Falling into deeper emotions when separated from the speaker
When I leave ya
Noticing a pattern of deepening emotions
I waste a little bit of your love
Acknowledging a gradual wasting of the other person's love
Everytime I come around with my selfish wishes
Admitting to having selfish desires
Give you silent treatment like a child
Using silent treatment like a child for personal wishes
Waiting to get going with my selfish wishes
Acknowledging a tendency to delay for personal desires
While I try to make up my mind
Struggling to decide while causing uncertainty
Oh you try to make it feel just right
Attempting to create a perfect feeling
And you loose the battle every time
Admitting to consistently losing in a personal struggle
You get caught up in this web of mine
Ensnaring the other person in a personal dilemma
I know it's not fair
Acknowledging the unfairness of making the other person feel inadequate
To make you feel this way
Expressing a wish for the other person to leave due to personal issues
Like you're not enough, invisible
Making the other person feel unseen and insufficient
There's just no room for you
Indicating a lack of space for the other person
I breathe in all the air
Taking up all the emotional space
I wish you'd run away from me
Desiring the other person to distance themselves
Weaker
Noticing a vulnerability or decrease in strength (repeated)
You grow a little weaker
Observing the other person becoming weaker (repeated)
When I'm with ya
Weakening when in the company of the speaker (repeated)
Deeper
Experiencing a deeper emotional connection (repeated)
You fall a little deeper
Falling into deeper emotions when separated from the speaker (repeated)
When I leave ya
Noticing a pattern of deepening emotions (repeated)
I waste a little bit of your love
Acknowledging a gradual wasting of the other person's love (repeated)
Everytime I come around with my selfish wishes
Admitting to having selfish desires (repeated)
Give you silent treatment like a child
Using silent treatment like a child for personal wishes (repeated)
Waiting to get going with my selfish wishes
Acknowledging a tendency to delay for personal desires (repeated)
While I try to make up my mind
Struggling to decide while causing uncertainty (repeated)
Oh you try to make it feel just right
Attempting to create a perfect feeling (repeated)
And you loose the battle every time
Admitting to consistently losing in a personal struggle (repeated)
You get caught up in this web of mine
Ensnaring the other person in a personal dilemma (repeated)
(Ah)
