Say the Word
Embrace Love's Dare: Lucy Clearwater's Plea in 'Say the Word'
Lyrics
You, you say it won't work
You express doubt that the relationship will succeed.
That you're not sure how it could
You are uncertain about how the relationship could work.
True, we had a rough start
Acknowledging a challenging beginning in the relationship.
Teasing our hearts but it tasted so good
Despite initial difficulties, the emotional experience was enjoyable.
If you want we could try
Suggesting a willingness to give the relationship another chance.
Darling I'm all in
You are fully committed and ready for the relationship.
Just say the word
Asking the partner to confirm commitment by expressing consent.
Do you think we could fly
Exploring the possibility of achieving something great in the relationship.
Cause right now I'm falling
Currently experiencing deep emotions and vulnerability.
Afraid it might hurt
Fearful of potential emotional pain in the relationship.
Oooh
Expressing emotions or uncertainty with an interjection.
What are you so afraid of
Questioning the partner's fears or reservations.
Cause I'm scared of missing out on your love
Admitting personal fear of missing out on love.
But fear, we know it never speaks the truth
Recognizing that fear is not a reliable source of information.
The mind can tell lies but my heart wants you
Highlighting the contrast between the mind's deceit and the heart's desires.
If you want we could try
Reiterating the willingness to give the relationship a chance.
Darling I'm all in
Confirming complete commitment to the relationship.
Just say the word
Asking for confirmation or agreement from the partner.
Do you think we could fly
Exploring the potential for a soaring, fulfilling relationship.
Cause right now I'm falling
Expressing the current state of falling deeply in love.
Afraid it might hurt
Fearing emotional pain as a consequence of the relationship.
Oooh
Reiteration of emotional expression or uncertainty.
Tell me your truth and I'll show you mine
Encouraging the partner to be truthful, promoting openness.
I just want to know you let me inside
Expressing a desire to understand the partner deeply.
Open your doors I'll open my mind
Offering emotional openness and vulnerability.
I know we'll regret it if we never try
Acknowledging potential regret if the relationship is not pursued.
If you want we could try
Reaffirming the willingness to try the relationship.
Darling I'm all in
Reiterating full commitment and readiness for the relationship.
Just say the word
Asking for the partner's confirmation or agreement.
Do you think we could fly
Exploring the potential for a soaring, fulfilling relationship.
Cause right now I'm falling
Expressing the current state of falling deeply in love.
Afraid it might hurt
Fearing emotional pain as a consequence of the relationship.
Oooh
Reiteration of emotional expression or uncertainty.
Oooh
Final reiteration or expression of emotions.
