Don't Misunderstand
Embracing Life's Dance: Melody Gardot's Soulful Message
Lyrics
I'm okay how you come and go
I am fine with how you come and go.
I don't mind if you ebb and flow
I don't mind if your presence fluctuates.
River-bound or a river stream
Whether directed toward a river or a stream.
I don't question what the future means
I don't question the uncertainty of the future.
I said now, mmm
Repeated expression of desire for someone.
I want you
-I want you
-I want you
-I want you
-I want you
-I want you
-I want you
-Who we are is what we got
Our essence is defined by what we currently have.
Whether fire or flame or not
Regardless of challenges or lack of passion.
Take me in under your embrace
Invite me into your arms.
I will be your kindlin' place
I am willing to be the source of your warmth.
I said now, mmm
Reiteration of the intense desire for the person.
I want you
-I want you
-I want you
-I want you
-I want you
-I want you
-I want you
-We are who we are
Emphasis on accepting ourselves for who we are.
Who we are
Reaffirmation of identity.
We do what we can
We act within our capabilities.
When we can
As and when it's possible for us.
We only have gotten this far now
We've only reached this point, so appreciate it.
So don't misunderstand
Caution against misunderstanding the speaker's true self.
Don't misunderstand
-Who I am
Direct plea not to misinterpret who the speaker is.
Come on, baby
Encouragement to understand without confusion.
Don't misunderstand me now
Reiteration of the plea not to misunderstand.
Come on, baby
Continued encouragement to avoid misunderstanding.
Don't misunderstand
Final plea not to misconstrue the situation.
No, go on, take it like a man
Suggesting facing the situation with courage and maturity.
Don't you go misunderstand
A final warning not to misinterpret the speaker's intentions.
