Three Words
Eternal Yearning: Unveiling the Sentimental Echo in Junior Boys' 'Three Words'
Lyrics
Shine in every light
Desire to be prominent and noticeable in various situations or circumstances.
More than for a day
Being significant or meaningful for more than a brief period.
You stayed the same, wild
Remaining untamed, keeping one's natural and unrestrained essence.
And were that way
Embodying that wild nature consistently.
Don't you want me a whole man?
Questioning if the listener desires a complete version of oneself.
You can't pretend that you're not sentimental too
Acknowledging the listener's sentimentality despite attempts to deny it.
I know
Confirming knowledge of the listener.
I know you
Reaffirmation of familiarity with the listener.
Say what you will
Encouraging the listener to express themselves regardless of judgment.
And call me what you want
Openness to being called any name by the listener.
But those years you spent away
Expressing a longing for the time the listener was absent.
How I wish you stayed
Desire for the listener to have stayed during their absence.
But it's still too little too
Despite efforts, what's offered is insufficient or inadequate.
When you start playing like you're everybody's fool
When the listener behaves naively or foolishly, knowing their true self.
'Cause I know you, yeah
Reiteration of understanding the listener deeply.
Are you still awake?
Checking if the listener is still awake or attentive.
We can keep things the same
Suggesting the possibility of maintaining the current situation.
In time things fade
Recognizing that things change over time.
But why can't I really wait?
Questioning the inability to wait patiently despite the changes.
Don't you want me here so
Asking if the listener desires the speaker's presence for a specific reason.
I can offer you three words so true?
Expressing a willingness to offer sincere and significant words to the listener.
Like I know you
Reiteration of understanding the listener deeply.
