Anticipation
Embracing the Present: Mandy Moore's Song of Anticipation
Lyrics
We can never know about the days to come
We cannot predict the future.
But we think about them anyway
Despite the uncertainty, we still contemplate the future.
And I wonder if I'm really with you now
Questioning the authenticity of the present moment in the relationship.
Or just chasin' after some finer day
Wondering if the current connection is genuine or if one is pursuing a better future.
Anticipation
Introduction of the theme of anticipation.
Anticipation
Reiteration of the theme of anticipation.
Is makin' me late
Anticipation is causing a delay.
Is keepin' me waitin'
Anticipation is making the person wait.
And I tell you how easy it feels to be with you
Expressing the ease and comfort of being with the person.
And how right your arms feel around me
Highlighting the physical comfort of the person's arms.
But I, I rehearsed those lines just late last night
Admitting to rehearsing lines about the positive aspects of the relationship.
When I was thinkin' about how right tonight might be
Reflecting on the potential positivity of the upcoming night.
Anticipation
Reiteration of the theme of anticipation.
Anticipation
-Is makin' me late
Anticipation is causing a delay.
Is keepin' me waitin'
Anticipation is making the person wait.
And tomorrow we might not be together
Acknowledging the uncertainty of the future of the relationship.
I'm no prophet and I don't know nature's ways
Expressing a lack of prophetic knowledge about the course of events.
So I'll try and see into your eyes right now
Attempting to understand the present moment by looking into the partner's eyes.
And just be right here
Emphasizing the importance of being present in the current moment.
Cause these are the good old days
Stating that the current times should be cherished as the "good old days."
These are the good old days
Repetition emphasizing the present as the "good old days."
And stay right here
Encouraging to stay in the present moment.
Cause these are the good old days
Repetition emphasizing the present as the "good old days."
These are the good old days
-These are the good old days
-These are the good old days
-These are the good old days
