Love's Fragile Dance: Lonely Fossa's Tale of Passion and Heartbreak
Lyrics
Young boy who's feeling lonely right here in Wichita
Introduction of a young lonely boy in Wichita.
He would kiss the finest one and make his way back to the top
His pursuit of romantic connections and success.
But she sees him she sees him she sees him she sees him oh
Repeated emphasis on someone observing him.
But she sees him she sees him she sees him she sees him oh
-She loves guitar
Expressing the girl's love for guitar.
Nothing can break her heart
Claiming her heart is resilient.
But he's already going places that she wants no part of
He is progressing in ways she disapproves.
But she will stay with him forever because there are no others
Despite differences, she commits to him.
She hates him she hates him she hates him she hates him oh
Expressing her dislike for him.
She hates him she hates him she hates him she loves him oh
Complex emotions—simultaneously hating and loving him.
He hates the stones
He dislikes commitment ("the stones").
Fragile like a rose
Comparing him to a fragile rose.
He will keep her around for a little
He keeps her temporarily until finding another.
While he finds another one
-She will stay because she is simple
She remains due to simplicity in emotions.
Emotions aren't simple for everyone
Recognizing emotional complexity for some.
She needs him she needs him she needs him she needs him oh
Expressing her need for him.
She needs him she needs him she needs him she needs him oh
Repetition of her emotional dependency.
But he's already gone off with the woman next door
He's already moved on, causing her withdrawal.
While she withdrawals her interest
Her loss of interest due to his actions.
Because she wants no more
She rejects further involvement.
She doesn't like being told what to do
Her dislike for being controlled.
He doesn't like being told what to do
His resistance to being told what to do.
