YOU'RE MINE
Yearning Echoes: Embracing Love's Quandary in 'You're Mine'
Lyrics
Why can't you want me babe?
Expressing frustration or confusion about the lack of desire from the person addressed.
Why can't you lie & tell me it's all alright?
Desiring reassurance through a dishonest but comforting response from the other person.
Just text me in the morning babe
Requesting simple communication, possibly seeking a morning message as a form of connection.
You know sometimes I get like this all the time
Acknowledging a recurring emotional state and expressing a need for understanding.
So leave if you need something that I can't give
Offering the option for the other person to leave if their needs cannot be fulfilled.
Or stay here with me, shit i don't mind
Expressing willingness for the other person to stay, indicating a flexible attitude.
We ran out of songs to sing & I just think
Highlighting a lull in the relationship, possibly related to emotional distance or stagnation.
It'd be better if you said you were mine
Suggesting that declaring commitment by saying "you were mine" could improve the situation.
Just say you want it, you want it, you want me
Encouraging the other person to express their desires and assuring them of the potential positive impact on their life.
I could come & change your life, oh baby
-If you don't want it, don't want it, don't want me
-I could come & change your mind
-Change your mind
Repeating the idea of changing the other person's mind, emphasizing the desire for a shift in perspective.
I could come & change your mind
Reiteration of the intention to influence and alter the other person's perspective or feelings.
Change your mind
-I could come & change your mind
-Change your mind
-I wish i knew the key to your heart
Expressing a desire to understand the emotional core of the other person.
& baby i know it's a shot in the dark
Acknowledging the uncertainty and difficulty in pursuing a connection with the other person.
To think I'm the reason it all fell apart
Questioning whether personal actions contributed to the deterioration of the relationship.
But I'm still right here can we go from the start again
Expressing a willingness to start anew despite the challenges and possible mistakes.
Just say you want it, you want it, you want me
Repeated emphasis on the potential positive impact of the speaker on the other person's life.
I could come & change your life, oh baby
-If you don't want it, don't want it, don't want me
-I could come & change your mind
-Change your mind
Repetition of the idea of changing the other person's mind, reinforcing the speaker's determination.
I could come & change your mind
-Change your mind
-I could come & change your mind
-Why can't you want me babe?
Restatement of the initial frustration and desire for reassurance.
Why can't you lie & tell me it's all alright?
