Small Talk
Unveiling the Dance of Departure and Desire
Lyrics
You don't look the same
You appear different now
When you're not apart of my life anymore
When you're no longer a part of my life
What is the point of saying goodbye
Questioning the purpose of saying goodbye
I know we'll fall
Anticipation of experiencing a downfall
Over again
We'll face challenges repeatedly
Almost as you planned it
Almost as if it was planned
Never thought it'd happen
Unexpected events that were not thought to occur
But it did
Despite disbelief, it happened
I'm just so observant of your perfect
I'm highly observant of your seemingly perfect life
Not so perfect little life
Your life is not as perfect as it appears
A consequence
Consequence of actions
And you pay the price for the thrill
Paying a price for the excitement or thrill
I'm thinking maybe that's just all you wanted
Speculation that what was desired was simplicity
All you thought you ever could've gotten
Recognition that what one thought they could have is not true
Know that it's not true
Contrary to expectations
It's all wrong
Acknowledging that things are not right
it's alright
Acceptance and reassurance that everything will be okay
And all feelings aside
Putting emotions aside
You should know that I wonder
Expressing curiosity and contemplation
Yeah would it kill you to
Asking a simple favor or gesture
Turn out the lights when you go
Suggesting turning off the lights when leaving
I'm not scared of the night till you're home
Not fearing the night until a certain person is home
And you can bang on the door till you're cold
Indifference to attempts to enter after a certain point
As if there's any other reason to know
No other reason to know or care
Pick me up when I am bleeding
Request for support during difficult times
Clean the wounds that I've been mending
Caring for wounds that need healing
Losing ships that I've been steering
Losing control of situations that were being managed
No I can't see the end
Uncertainty about the future
And that's why
Explaining the reason for taking life one step at a time
I take it a day
Approaching life with a day-by-day mentality
at a week
Expanding the perspective to a week
at a month
Further expanding to a month
at a year at a time
Continuing the gradual approach to a year
Thinking that I don't need anything more than the front door
Belief that nothing more is needed than the simplicity of the front door
I'm out of it
Feeling disconnected or detached
And I'll take what I want with me like
Taking what is wanted and needed
A bold opportunity
Embracing bold opportunities
And a sense of community
Valuing a sense of community
On my way to what I wanna be baby
Heading towards personal aspirations
better to have and not need than need and not have
Preferable to have more than needed
