A Paper Boat
Navigating Emotions: A Paper Boat's Journey through Love and Loss
Lyrics
She says she's fine
Expressing that she's doing well or okay
She is the kindest liar
Describing her as a kind but deceptive person
She says I'm mine
Claiming ownership of herself
And I should keep my fire
Advising to control one's passion or intensity
But she's cold
Pointing out her emotional distance
And she's out there on her own
Highlighting her solitude
She stretched her limbs
Describing a physical action, possibly seeking connection with nature
So she could touch the weather
Extending herself to experience the external environment
Into the clouds
Aspiring to transcend reality or escape
So she might disappear
Suggesting a desire to disappear or detach
I watched her float
Observing someone floating, detached and fragile
On the bed like a paper boat
Metaphorically comparing her to a fragile paper boat
Felt her sink
Feeling her emotional descent or vulnerability
Her thoughts the spill of ink
Her thoughts expressed like spilled ink, possibly messy and unrestrained
If I held you closer than I'm supposed to
Questioning the appropriateness of emotional closeness
When I leave
Considering the impact of leaving
How much of you do I take with me
Pondering how much of her will remain when apart
I'd wait here longer
Expressing a willingness to wait for her
There's nothing wrong
Assuring that nothing is wrong
It's just the morning creeps
Noting the gradual onset of the morning, a metaphor for reality
And still you're nowhere near to sleep
Observing her continued wakefulness
While I have slipped into a dream
Personal experience of entering a dream state
I'm halfway across the sea
Being physically distant, possibly reflecting emotional distance
On a ship that you helped build for me
Acknowledging her contribution to a journey or relationship
