This song will make you stay
Yearning Echoes: A Melodic Plea for Love's Redemption
Lyrics
Did you really have to be that honest?
Questioning the necessity of complete honesty
I thought the chase was what you wanted
Belief that pursuing someone was desired
Had me distressed, Made me undress
Caused stress, led to vulnerability
My soul all open, cause you liked me better when I was obsessed
Feeling exposed emotionally; preference for previous state of fixation
The smell of your hair
Notable sensory memory associated with the person
The touch of your clothes
Memories linked to tactile sensations
Our hands intertwined, no I wouldn't know
Uncertainty about current closeness or connection
Now I'm
Engaged in an action or emotional state
Looking through a phone book
Searching for the person’s contact information
Flipping all these pages
Actively seeking a way to reach out
Hoping that it gets to your name, I'm sorry
Expressing regret and apology
I've always been persistent
Consistent in pursuit or behavior
If I could make you listen
Desire for attention and understanding
Maybe then this song will make you stay
Hope that the song will influence the person to stay
I'll grow and I'll change
Willingness to evolve and adapt
And I'll turn these bright lights down
Ready to diminish brightness, symbolizing change
If you come around, come back around
Openness to the person's return
She said, "Do you think this will make me stay?"
Question posed by the person of interest
I said, "There's hope, but things don't go my way"
Expressing hope despite potential disappointment
All the things you promised
Recollection of unfulfilled commitments
Tell me now you don't want it
Challenging the person’s changed desires
Cause my number won't change
Assertion of unchanged contact information
Did you just forget all the time we spent?
Questioning the disregard for shared experiences
Look in my eyes, I'm here
Asserting presence and visibility
Looking through a phone book
Continued search for contact details
Flipping all these pages
Repetition of active attempts to connect
Hoping that it gets to your name, I'm sorry
Reiteration of apology and persistence
I've always been persistent
Consistent pursuit or behavior reiterated
If I could make you listen
Desire for attention and comprehension reiterated
Maybe then this song will make you stay
Hope that the song will influence the person to stay reiterated
I'll grow and I'll change
Reiteration of willingness to change and adapt
And I'll turn these bright lights down
Ready to change and accommodate the person’s return
If you come around, come back around
Openness to the person's potential return reiterated
