to see you smile
Embracing Moments: Rediscovering Joy in 'To See You Smile' by Katy Hallauer
Lyrics
I know it's been a while
I acknowledge that it has been a considerable amount of time.
But I would like to see you smile
Expressing a desire to witness happiness in your demeanor.
And I know we're both in the deep end
Acknowledging that both individuals are facing challenges or difficulties.
But I would still swim to you
Despite challenges, expressing willingness to make efforts to connect.
If you'd let me
Requesting permission to approach or reconcile.
I know it's been some time, friend
Recognizing the passage of time between interactions.
But I see those heavy eyes coming to an end
Observing signs of weariness or fatigue in the other person.
You've just gotta breathe
Encouraging the other person to take a moment to relax.
Pull up your sleeves
Suggesting readiness to face challenges by metaphorically rolling up sleeves.
But don't drop your heart
Emphasizing the importance of preserving emotions or vulnerability.
And I don't know what's in your head
Acknowledging a lack of understanding of the other person's thoughts.
And I know it's easier to stay in bed
Recognizing the difficulty of getting out of bed when facing challenges.
And I don't know what you've been trying
Expressing uncertainty about the other person's efforts or struggles.
All I know is that you're lying
Asserting awareness that the other person is not being truthful.
I said, just take your time
Advising the other person to take their time, not to rush decisions.
There's no rush for you to give the sign
Reassuring that there is no pressure for a quick response or resolution.
Just know I feel your heart beating
Acknowledging awareness of the other person's emotional state.
And know that these moments are fleeting
Highlighting the transient nature of meaningful moments.
Right before our eyes
Noting the passing of significant moments in time.
I know it's been a while
Reiterating the recognition of a prolonged period since the last encounter.
But I would like to see you smile
Expressing a continued desire to witness the other person's happiness.
And I know we're both in the deep end
Reaffirming the acknowledgment of shared challenges or difficulties.
But I would still swim to you
Reiterating the willingness to make efforts to bridge the emotional gap.
If you'd let me
Repeating the request for permission to approach or reconcile.
