How We Wanted
Uncharted Depths: Exploring Love's Turbulent Journey in 'How We Wanted'
Lyrics
Safehouse
Expressing a sense of safety or refuge.
All that can’t be seen in the daylight
Refers to hidden or undisclosed aspects, possibly challenges.
Just in our hearts
Emphasizes emotional connection, not just visible aspects.
When we met we just fit right
Describes a natural fit when they first met.
Now we’re too busy fighting old fights
Currently dealing with unresolved issues from the past.
Love in the dark
Love in challenging times or difficult situations.
And I know we’re both thinking
Both partners have unspoken thoughts.
What we never say
Implies communication gaps or unexpressed feelings.
It’s not quite how we wanted
Current situation isn't as expected or desired.
It doesn’t matter if you talk about it, and I talk about it, yeah we know
Acknowledging awareness of issues but unable to resolve.
It’s not quite how we wanted it
Reiteration that the present situation is not ideal.
You got me going where I don’t want to go, I don’t want to go, I don’t want to go
Feeling compelled to go down an undesirable path.
Can someone throw me a lifeline?
Desire for external help or support.
We were tied to love at the same time
Once connected by love, now facing a decline.
Now we’re going down
Indicates a downturn in their relationship.
Don’t you know we’re both on the same side?
Despite conflicts, both partners are on the same side.
If we flew once, you’d think we’d think twice
Suggests a lack of learning from past mistakes.
Ever coming down
Possible reference to a difficult situation.
And you say we think too much, And I think I’ll never say
Acknowledging overthinking as an issue.
And we try to shake it off, but we feel it anyway
Attempting to ignore problems but feeling them regardless.
It’s not quite how we wanted
Reiteration that the present situation is not ideal.
It doesn’t matter if you talk about it, and I talk about it, yeah we know
Acknowledging awareness of issues but unable to resolve.
It’s not quite how we wanted it
Reiteration that the present situation is not ideal.
You got me going where I don’t want to go, I don’t want to go, I don’t want to go
Feeling compelled to go down an undesirable path.
It’s not quite how we wanted
Reiteration that the present situation is not ideal.
Can you tell me how to change my mind?
Seeking guidance on changing one's perspective.
I don’t want to leave this love high and dry
Expressing reluctance to abandon the relationship.
I can tell what you’re thinking now
Claiming insight into the partner's thoughts.
What we’ve avoided all this time, But I don’t want to go
Avoiding a known issue but hesitant to end the relationship.
It’s not quite how we wanted
Reiteration that the present situation is not ideal.
It doesn’t matter if you talk about it, and I talk about it, yeah we know
Acknowledging awareness of issues but unable to resolve.
It’s not quite how we wanted it
Reiteration that the present situation is not ideal.
You got me going where I don’t want to go, I don’t want to go, I don’t want to go
Feeling compelled to go down an undesirable path.
