Lyrics
In all the time that I've known you
In the entire duration of our acquaintance
You've been so edgy and nervous
You have consistently displayed tension and anxiety
I never wanted to own you
I never intended to possess or control you
I was aware of the danger
I was mindful of the potential risk or harm
Of making a bid for your favours
Aware of the peril in seeking your affection
You're such a natural stranger
You are inherently unfamiliar or enigmatic
I made excuses and ran
I offered justifications and fled
You're an island
You are emotionally distant or isolated
But I can't leave you all out at sea
Yet, I cannot abandon you stranded in the vastness of the sea
You're so violent with your silence
Your quietness is forceful and intense
You're an island
You remain emotionally detached
I can't sleep
I find it difficult to sleep
Won't you speak to me
Please communicate with me
I'm on dry land
I am on stable ground or secure territory
Won't you help me please
Kindly assist or support me
In all the time that I've known you
Reiteration of the duration of acquaintance
There has been something between us
There has consistently been a barrier or tension between us
I don't hink it's my imagination
I believe it's not a product of my imagination
I felt like I couldn't touch you
I sensed an inability to connect with you
But I had the feeling you'd love to
Yet, I felt you secretly desired it
Tell me the truth if you could do
Request for honesty if possible
I made excuses and ran
Reiteration of offering justifications and escaping
