Where We Left Off
Rekindling Desire: Where Hearts Entwine in Meron Addis' Melodic Tale
Lyrics
Couldn't get your lips off my mind
Reflects persistent thoughts about someone's lips.
couldn’t wait for time to pass by
Anxious anticipation for time to elapse.
so that I could see you again,
Desire to reunite and reconnect emotionally.
I could feel you again, when your hands touch my thigh
A physical sensation when in contact with the person.
so that we could get to the end of what we had began,
Wishing to conclude or continue what was started.
Can we reach the finish line?
Asking if they can complete what they began.
It’s always the shy ones who put it down
Observation about reserved individuals surprising others.
took me by surprise, you can have me now
Being taken aback by someone's unexpected actions.
I’ll do what you like, so just tell me how
Willingness to comply with the other person's desires.
Just tell me how, tell me now
Requesting immediate instruction or information.

Verse 2
Beginning of the second verse.
Didn’t stop thinking about you since that time I seen ya
Continued preoccupation with thoughts about the person.
and I just don’t even know how you got a hold of me now
Feeling captivated or influenced by the person.
‘cause I haven’t known you for long but the feeling was strong when you looked in my eyes
Strong emotional connection despite a short time frame.
now this is the moment of truth show me what you can do when I give you more of my time
Inviting the person to prove themselves with more time.
It’s always the shy ones who put it down
Reiteration about reserved individuals surprising others.
took me by surprise, you can have me now
Being surprised again by the person's impact.
