9 steps away.
Unveiling Hidden Desires: 9 Steps Away from Love's Paradise
Lyrics
Staring at a house that's just like yours
Reflecting on a house resembling yours
Funny to observe how the rain pours
Noting the irony of rain, detached observation
'Cause it doesn't remind me of you
Rain doesn't trigger memories of you
Don't know why I said it, but it's the truth
Admittedly stating an unexpected truth
And I, I don't know
Expressing uncertainty and confusion
How to let things go
Struggling to release attachments
And I, I don't know
Reiterating the difficulty in letting go
But we were nine steps away from paradise
Narrating closeness to paradise, potentially a relationship
And so close to not needing to sacrifice
Near perfection without the need for sacrifice
So close yet so far, in feet or in yards
Highlighting proximity but emotional distance
'Cause I don't know but I see how close you were
Acknowledging another's missed opportunity
To something you may never know
Ambiguously referencing a missed chance
Oh
Expressing emotional weight
I keep seeing eyes that are like yours
Noticing eyes resembling yours repeatedly
Funny playing games with the patterned floors
Playing with patterns as a distraction
'Cause they distract me from you
Eyes divert attention from thoughts of you
And I don't know why I said it, but it's the truth
Repeating an unexplained truth
And I'm dangerous when I have hope
Admitting vulnerability when hopeful
Cause I, I don't know how to let go
Struggling with releasing attachments
And I hope that she's wonderful
Expressing hope for another's happiness
And everything you wanted
Wishing fulfillment of desired aspirations
Maybe even what you wanted from me
Acknowledging unfulfilled expectations from oneself
And I'm so stupid for falling in love
Self-criticism for falling in love
With the thought that it could be meant to be
Realizing the potential love may not be reciprocated
But we were nine steps away from paradise
Recalling the closeness to a perfect state
And now I can't stop wondering why I even try
Questioning the purpose of continued effort
So close yet so far but I can't let it tear me apart
Acknowledging emotional distance but resisting its impact
And maybe it's best that I'll never know
Suggesting acceptance of ignorance about the past
How close we were
Reiterating the nearness to something unknown
To something I may never know
Expressing uncertainty about a missed opportunity
Something I may never know
Repeating the uncertainty about the unknown
Musical interlude or vocalization
