I'd Rather Go On
Navigating Love's Turbulence: 'I'd Rather Go On' by Kelsey Waldon
Lyrics
Sometimes we're so happy nothing can stop usSometimes I swear it feels like a dream
Sometimes, we experience immense happiness that seems unbeatable, almost like a surreal experience.
We just go on every day, each living our own
We continue with our daily lives, each pursuing our own paths without much concern.
And we never care too much about anything
There's a lack of intense emotional investment in things; we don't deeply care about much.
And sometimes you get so mad you forget what we've had
At times, anger clouds our memory of the good times we've shared, causing impulsive reactions.
Yeah, your impulse just drives you away
Anger pushes one to distance oneself impulsively.
Right now I think I'd rather go on living without you foreverThan ever having to live with you today
Currently, the singer prefers a life without the person rather than enduring the hardships of being together today.
And that don't mean that I don't love you
Loving someone isn't negated, despite the desire for separation.
And that don't mean I don't care
Caring for the person remains, despite the desire to live apart.
It just means that I don't understand
There's a lack of comprehension regarding why the relationship can't progress.
Why we can't ever move on to anywhere
Expressing confusion about the inability to move forward in the relationship.
And all the petty things that make up our mind
Trivial matters dominate our thoughts, despite their insignificance in the grand scheme.
Ain't nothing in the long run at all
Realizing that these trivial matters hold no significance in the long-term.
Too much pride where nobody wins
Too much pride prevents any party from winning in conflicts, leading to a standstill.
Only leaves us with our backs to the wall
This prideful conflict only results in both parties feeling trapped or cornered.
You know we've been through so much
Despite enduring a lot together, there's still a sense of familiarity and connection.
You've still got that touch
The other person still possesses qualities that evoke feelings and emotions.
You still make me want to believeIn the things I never had, the good and the bad
The person still inspires belief in experiences, both positive and negative, yet to be encountered.
And all the things I've seen
The singer reflects on the varied experiences they've encountered.
