Reverie
Ephemeral Love: Navigating Uncertainty with Michael PalermoLyrics
Yesterday I almost said I love you
Expressing hesitation in confessing love the day before
But today I think you might, might hate me
Fearing potential dislike or resentment for expressing love
We drive around this city just to kill time
Driving aimlessly to pass time in a transforming world
In a changing world it's a whole new paradigm
Acknowledging a shift in the world, embracing a new paradigm
I think you're the boy I'm gonna marry
Expressing belief in a future marriage with the person
Oh I know, I know it's scary
Acknowledging the fear associated with such commitment
To hear those words right now, right now
Acknowledging the current sensitivity to those words
But I'd like to be with you
Expressing a desire to be with the person despite uncertainties
All the time
Desiring constant companionship with the person
If you don't mind
Seeking consent for continuous togetherness
So I'll wait to see you everyday
Expressing willingness to wait for the person every day
Don't let me fade away
Pleading not to be forgotten and fade from memory
Into your memory
Emphasizing the importance of being remembered
With our reverie
Introducing the concept of "reverie" as a shared memory
With our reverie, oh
Reiterating the significance of the shared reverie
You never wanna talk about the future
Noticing a reluctance to discuss the future
(No no, no no, no no, no no)
Reiterating the avoidance of future discussions
Well I guess, I guess I'll try to understand
Expressing an attempt to understand the partner's perspective
(Try to understand)
Accepting the need to comprehend the situation
And oh just when, just when I think I got the situation
Describing a moment of realization of being mentally influenced
You control my mind, and I just can't take none
Conveying the partner's control over thoughts
(I just can't take, I just can't take none)
Highlighting the struggle to resist the partner's influence
I know you think I reek of delusion
Addressing the partner's perception of delusion
That I'm young and full of confusion
Acknowledging youth and confusion in self
All I seek is absolution
Expressing a desire for forgiveness or redemption
Oh but I'd like to be with you
Reiterating the desire to be constantly with the person
All the time
Desiring perpetual closeness if the person agrees
If you don't mind
Seeking consent for continuous togetherness
So I'll wait to see you everyday
Expressing readiness to wait for the person daily
Don't let me fade away
Pleading not to be forgotten and fade from memory
Into your memory
Emphasizing the importance of being remembered
With our reverie
Reiterating the significance of the shared reverie
With our reverie
Repeating the emphasis on the shared reverie
So now the sun is setting on our love
Noting the sunset on the love between them
And I don't know if I could ever
Expressing uncertainty about getting enough of the person
Get myself enough, enough of you
Desiring an enduring connection with the person
And this torture plagues me while I wait
Highlighting the emotional struggle while waiting for reunion
Losing sleep until I see the day
Sacrificing sleep in anticipation of being together
Where I can be with you, no
Expressing a longing for a future where they can be together
Reverie, our reverie
Reiterating the concept of "reverie" as a shared memory
Don't forget about me
Pleading not to be forgotten within the shared memory
Reverie, our reverie
Reiterating the concept of "reverie" and the plea not to be forgotten
Don't forget about me
Pleading not to be forgotten within the shared memory
And our reverie, no
Final plea to be remembered within the shared reverie
