The Only Thing
Yearning Silhouettes: A Song of Unspoken Desires by Katie Ellwood
Lyrics
I'm so confidently wanting you
I express a strong desire for you with confidence.
But I don't say what's on my mind as much as I want me to
I struggle to vocalize my thoughts as much as I would like to.
So I keep silently hoping silently knowing
I silently hope and know, anticipating that this hope may not last.
This hope will never last
A recognition that the hope mentioned earlier may be fleeting.
So come close tell me you want me too
Asking you to come closer and affirm that you want me too.
Cause you are the only thing that I still Know that I want
Emphasizing that you are the sole desire and focus of the speaker.
You are the only thing that I still Know that I want
-You are the only thing, the only thing
-That I would give my heart for
Reiterating the exclusive importance of the person addressed, willing to give heart for.
It would have to take a miracle
-It would have to take a miracle
-You'd have to take the pain away to come close enough to me again
-Oh it would have to take a miracle
-Don't know how much more I can say
-Made it clear how I feel through the heartbreak
-And I keep silently waiting, pushing my patience
-For you to come around
-To come closer again tell me you want me too
-Cause you are the only thing that I still Know that I want
-You are the only thing that I still Know that I want
-You are the only thing, the only thing
-That I would give my heart for
-It would have to take a miracle
Highlighting the necessity of a miracle to overcome challenges and be close again.
It would have to take a miracle
-You'd have to take the pain away to come close enough to me again
-Oh it would have to take a miracle
-We took each other for granted but that never meant I loved you any less
Acknowledging taking each other for granted but asserting constant love.
So come over again let me show you
Inviting the person to come over and reaffirming their exclusive importance.
That you are the only thing, the only thing
-That I would give my heart for
Repeating the commitment to give the heart for the person.
But I'm not gonna wait till you're done needing no one
Expressing unwillingness to wait for the person to finish needing others, recognizing potential future involvement.
Even though I know, one day I could be that someone
-And I'm not gonna wait till you're done needing no one
-Even though I know, one day I could be that someone
-And I'm not gonna wait
-No I'm not gonna wait
