You'll Never Wear My Sweater
Unrequited Threads: You'll Never Embrace My Sweater
Lyrics
Woke up with a dream in my head
Awakening with a dream in mind
Before I realized what you'd said
Realization of something you said
"I only kinda want it" echoed in my ear
Hearing "I only kinda want it," creating uncertainty
Before I knew it, you were no longer here
Sudden absence after realizing the situation
Just give me a glimpse inside
Desire for insight into the other person's feelings
We both know the cure is more than a prize
Acknowledgment that solving the issue requires more than a simple solution
Your trying, gorgeous face is all that I see
Appreciation of the attractive face despite difficulties
Yeah
Expression of affirmation
But for now, I'll just pretend that I'm free
Pretending to be free despite challenges
I hope you thought about what I told you the other day
Reflection on a previous conversation
Well I got no rules for you
No imposed rules, but consequences exist
But, there is still a price to pay
Emphasis on the existence of a price to pay
We both know, that You'll Never Wear My Sweater
A mutual understanding that a relationship won't progress to a deeper level
So let's not fight this heavy weather, forever
A plea not to prolong the difficulties indefinitely
You say "Why does it matter"
Questioning the significance of the situation
You say "It's all the same"
Dismissal of the importance, claiming similarity
But you haven't even told your best friend my first name
Pointing out a lack of disclosure to close friends
Don't pretend to care
Admonishment against feigned concern
Don't pretend to cry
Warning against insincere emotions
You won't get my sympathy
Refusal to offer sympathy
I'm out of my supply
Exhaustion of emotional resources
Knocking us down like it's
Symbolic reference to challenges faced
One, two, three
Numerical countdown suggesting inevitability
And now I'm sitting here
Present loneliness after a series of events
Like it's only me
Feeling isolated, as if alone in the situation
My troubles just feel like they did yesterday
Comparing present troubles to those of the past
I guess I've just said,
Acknowledgment of expressing everything already
All there is to say
Reaching the limit of verbal expression
I hope you thought about what I told you the other day
Recalling a previous conversation
Well I got no rules for you
Restating the absence of rules but emphasizing consequences
But, there is still a price to pay
Reiteration of a price to be paid
We both know, that You'll Never Wear My Sweater
Confirmation that the other person won't wear the metaphorical "sweater"
So let's not fight this heavy weather, forever
Encouraging not to prolong the difficulties
No, No
Emphatic repetition that the "sweater" won't be worn
You'll Never Wear My Sweater
Reiteration of the mutual understanding
I hope you thought about what I told you the other day
Recalling a previous conversation once more
Well I got no rules for you
Re-emphasizing the absence of rules but presence of consequences
But, there is still a price to pay
Restating the existence of a price to be paid
We both know, that You'll Never Wear My Sweater
Confirmation of the impossibility of wearing the "sweater"
So let's not fight this heavy weather, forever
Encouragement to avoid prolonging difficulties
And I hope you thought about what I told you the other day
Repetition of reflection on a past conversation
Well I got no rules for you
Reiteration of no rules but a price to be paid
But, there is still a price to pay
Re-emphasizing the existence of a price to be paid
We both know, that You'll Never Wear My Sweater
Confirmation of the mutual understanding regarding the "sweater"
So let's not fight this heavy weather, forever
Final plea to avoid prolonging difficulties indefinitely
