I Hope It's Just A Lie
Yearning Echoes: Unveiling the Depths of Heart's Dilemma
Lyrics
Logically I know I should probably go
Expressing a logical understanding of the need to leave.
You keep intriguing me back into your gravity
Feeling drawn back into a compelling force, possibly a relationship.
I need a reason so I drink one
Seeking a reason to stay through drinking.
Maybe two or three so I don't have to leave
Consuming alcohol to avoid the necessity of leaving.
Drawing a tattoo holding my hand you
Creating a lasting memory by getting a tattoo with the partner's name.
Write your name on my knuckles this
Symbolizing commitment by inscribing the partner's name on the hand.
Could be dangerous but I like the thought of us
Acknowledging potential danger but finding allure in the relationship.
Do you too?
Asking the partner if they share the same feelings.
But if you say goodbye
Expressing a hope that if the partner leaves, it's not genuine.
I hope it's just a lie
Reiterating the desire for a departing partner to be dishonest.
Are you afraid we're standing at the edge of a cliff on tip toe
Describing a feeling of standing on the precipice of a significant decision.
Waiting for the jump
Waiting for a moment of decision or change.
But if you say goodbye
Repeating the hope that a farewell is untrue.
I hope it's just a lie
Continuing the desire for a dishonest departure.
Please understand never had a plan
Stating a lack of prior planning, driven by curiosity.
Only curious watching from across the room
Observing from a distance without direct involvement.
For a whole year didn't get near
Highlighting a year of restrained emotions now revealed.
Then suddenly you're showing all your colors now you're
Noticing a change in the partner's behavior and expression of true self.
Drawing a tattoo holding my hand you
Repeating the act of getting a tattoo as a symbol of commitment.
Write your name on my knuckles and
Emphasizing the permanence of the partner's name on the hand.
I'm a little gun shy electrified in your eyes
Feeling hesitant but captivated by the partner's gaze.
Are you too?
Asking if the partner shares the hesitations and captivation.
But if you say goodbye
Reiterating the hope for a dishonest farewell.
I hope it's just a lie
Expressing the desire for a false goodbye.
Are you afraid we're standing at the edge of a cliff on tip toe
Repeating the metaphor of standing on the edge of a significant decision.
Waiting for the jump
Reiterating the waiting for a moment of decision or change.
But if you say goodbye
Stating the hope for a deceitful departure.
I hope it's just a lie
Continuing the desire for an insincere farewell.
On my hand you drew an X
Describing the partner's action of drawing an X on the hand.
I'm the buried treasure you could discover boy you look a little worried if you're
Suggesting the singer as a hidden treasure for the partner to discover.
Making the right choice listen to your inner voice
Encouraging the partner to listen to their inner voice when making a choice.
You know you should stay
Advising the partner to stay despite worries.
But if you say goodbye
Repeating the hope for a dishonest farewell.
I hope it's just a lie
Expressing the desire for an insincere departure.
Are you afraid we're standing at the edge of a cliff on tip toe
Reiterating the metaphor of standing on the edge of a significant decision.
Waiting for the jump
Repeating the waiting for a moment of decision or change.
But if you say goodbye
Stating the hope for a false farewell.
I hope it's just a lie
Continuing the desire for a deceitful goodbye.
I hope it's not goodbye
Expressing a wish that the farewell is not genuine.
I hope goodbye's a lie
Hoping that the concept of saying goodbye is untrue.
