Tell Me
Longing Echoes: Unraveling the Silent Pleas of Tell Me
Lyrics
I know I need you
I acknowledge the necessity of your presence in my life.
But I can't seem to
Despite recognizing the need for you, I find it challenging.
Wrap my head around this mess
I struggle to comprehend and make sense of the current situation.
If this is real love
If our connection is genuine love, why do I not experience it?
Why can't I feel love
Despite being together in bed, I don't feel the love I expect.
When we're layin' in this bed
Expressing a lack of emotional connection during intimate moments.
And don't say that it's nothin'
Dismissing the idea that there's nothing wrong or significant.
Tell me again that you want me
Requesting affirmation of your desire for me once again.
Tell me again that you need me here
Reiterating the need for reassurance about your commitment.
Baby, I want you to hold me
Desiring physical closeness and comfort from you.
Cuz lately I've been
Expressing recent feelings of dissatisfaction or unhappiness.
Wishin' that we could go back
Longing for a return to a previous, happier time in the relationship.
To makin' love by the railroad tracks
Revisiting memories of intimacy in a nostalgic setting.
Just tell me again that you want me
Seeking verbal confirmation of love and desire once more.
Cuz I can't take this silence anymore
Expressing discomfort with the current state of silence in the relationship.
I saw it comin'
Anticipating a negative development and attempting to avoid it.
And I tried runnin'
Acknowledging the foresight of a problem and attempting to escape.
But you just wouldn't let me be
Feeling restrained and unable to escape the impending issue.
And you followed after so impatiently
Describing your pursuit as impatient and persistent.
Then stood here in confusion like it was good enough for me
Reflecting on the confusion caused by persistent pursuit.
Tell me again that you want me
Repeating the need for verbal affirmation of love and desire.
Tell me again that you need me here
Emphasizing the ongoing need for reassurance and commitment.
Baby, I want you to hold me
Expressing the desire for physical closeness and comfort.
Cuz lately I've been
Reiterating recent feelings of dissatisfaction or unhappiness.
Wishin' that we could go back
Longing for a return to a previous, happier time in the relationship.
To makin' love by the railroad tracks
Revisiting memories of intimacy in a nostalgic setting.
Just tell me again that you want me
Seeking verbal confirmation of love and desire once more.
Cuz I can't take this silence anymore
Expressing discomfort with the current state of silence in the relationship.
Anymore
Reiterating the inability to endure the prevailing silence.
I cannot take one more day in this cloud again
Expressing the difficulty of enduring another day in emotional turmoil.
Smoke in my lungs but I'm trying to breathe
Describing the emotional burden, feeling as if surrounded by a cloud.
Now I'm so high and I can't come back down
Using metaphorical language to convey being emotionally elevated.
Until you tell me
The longing for resolution and clarity in the situation.
Tell me
Repeatedly urging the partner to communicate and provide answers.
Tell me
Continuing the plea for open and honest communication.
Cuz lately I've been
Recalling recent feelings of dissatisfaction or unhappiness.
Wishin' that we could go back
Longing for a return to a previous, happier time in the relationship.
To makin' love by the railroad tracks
Revisiting memories of intimacy in a nostalgic setting.
Just tell me again that you want me
Seeking verbal confirmation of love and desire once more.
Cuz I can't take this silence anymore
Expressing discomfort with the current state of silence in the relationship.
