Not Your Man
Love's Last Stand: Unraveling the Depths of Not Your Man by Karate Baseball
Lyrics
When we met, it was love
When we first met, there was love between us.
All we had was enough
We had enough in our relationship at the beginning.
But its not been enough
Over time, what we had initially is no longer sufficient.
Not for you, not for us
The inadequacy is felt both by the narrator and the relationship itself.
Any day it'd be fine
Any day would be acceptable, as long as there is no change of heart.
When you don't change your mind
The narrator desires stability and consistency in the relationship.
In the cold, in the rain
Challenges and difficulties are faced, symbolized by the cold and rain.
If I cant stop the pain
The narrator struggles to alleviate the emotional pain.
You can try, I'll try too
Both partners are willing to try and work on the issues.
But its not Deja Vu
Despite efforts, the situation is not a repetition of the past (Deja Vu).
We're just here once again
The couple finds themselves in a familiar situation once again.
Are you more than a friend?
Questioning if the connection is deeper than friendship.
Will we grow, will we wilt
Wondering if the relationship will flourish or wither.
All these walls that you built
Reference to emotional barriers created by one of the partners.
Are they all here to stay
Questioning the permanence of the emotional walls.
Can I break them?
The narrator contemplates breaking down these emotional barriers.
I only had the best intentions
Expressing good intentions in the relationship.
I only want the best for you
The narrator genuinely wants the best for the partner.
But maybe I'm not your man
Doubting if the narrator is the right man for the partner.
No maybe I'm not your man
Reiterating the uncertainty about being the right man.
I only had the best intentions baby for you
Despite good intentions, there's a realization of potential mismatch.
I was holding on
The narrator held onto the relationship.
But maybe I'm not your man
Reiterating doubt about being the right man for the partner.
No maybe I'm not your man
Emphasizing uncertainty about being the suitable partner.
Ahhhh
An expressive element, perhaps indicating emotional turmoil.
Ohhhhh
A continuation of the expressive element, conveying emotional distress.
Always underwater
Describing a feeling of being submerged or overwhelmed by emotions.
Storm clouds raging
Metaphorically depicting the presence of challenges and conflicts.
With your hand in my mine
A shared experience of facing difficulties together.
But maybe I'm not your man
Reiterating doubt about being the right man for the partner.
No maybe I'm not your man
Emphasizing uncertainty about being the suitable partner.
Now you're always leaving
Noticing a pattern of the partner frequently leaving.
I'm still here and
The narrator remains despite the partner's departure.
I cant disappear
Feeling unable to escape or move on from the relationship.
But maybe I'm not your man
Reiterating doubt about being the right man for the partner.
No maybe I'm not your man
Emphasizing uncertainty about being the suitable partner.
