Ready Now
Embracing Vulnerability: Discovering Love's Uncertain Path in 'Ready Now' by Lisa Wright
Lyrics
I want love but it scares me
I desire love, but it intimidates me
Doesn't come naturally to bare my soul when there's no guarantee
Revealing my true self is challenging without a guarantee
I want to wake in the morning, when you're sound asleep
I wish to wake up in the morning while you're still asleep
I want to lie next to you and know this is meant to be
I desire to be close to you and feel the certainty of our connection
But everybody likes to change their mind
People tend to change their minds
So one of us is always left behind
Resulting in one of us being consistently left behind
I know I've been guarded and hiding my heart so it don't make a sound
I acknowledge being guarded, concealing my emotions to avoid any noise
I kept myself safe and locked away, tried to shut it out
I kept myself protected and isolated, attempting to shut out emotions
After all of the years, after all of the tears, you are here somehow
Despite the passing years and tears, you've managed to be present
And I'm ready now, I'm ready now
Now, I am prepared and open to love
I want you but I'm nervous
I have a desire for you, but I feel apprehensive
What if it falls apart? What if loving me is too hard?
Fears of potential failure and the difficulty of loving me cross my mind
What if this is just the start…
Contemplating if this is just the beginning of something
What if you are the one to calm my mind?
Wondering if you are the one who can bring peace to my thoughts
And you help me find the pieces left behind?
Hoping you can help me recover the fragments of myself
I know I've been guarded and hiding my heart so it don't make a sound
Reiterating the theme of being guarded and silent to protect the heart
I kept myself safe and locked it away, tried to shut it out
Emphasizing the attempt to keep emotions locked away and shut out
After all of the years, after all of the tears, you are here somehow
Despite the hardships, you are now here with me
And I'm ready now, I'm ready now
Expressing readiness for love and connection
Oh, I'm ready now, I'm ready now
Reaffirming the readiness for a meaningful relationship
Cos I think that you're the one to calm my mind
Believing that you have the potential to bring tranquility to my mind
And I don't want to run and hide
Rejecting the impulse to run away and hide
I know I've been guarded and hiding my heart so it don't make a sound
Recalling the pattern of being guarded to protect the heart
I kept myself safe and locked it away, tried to shut it out
Maintaining the theme of self-protection and emotional withdrawal
After all of the years, after all of the tears, you are here somehow
Acknowledging the presence of a significant other after years of difficulty
And I'm ready now, I'm ready now
Affirming the current state of readiness for love and connection
