Lyrics
They're for all to see
Public demonstrations of affection are meant for everyone to witness.
Self-contained lovers
Individuals deeply involved with each other, self-sufficient in their love.
Welded orally
Expressing love verbally, strongly connected.
No run for cover
No need to hide or seek protection from others.
I'd join in the fun
Expresses a desire to participate in the affectionate activities.
If I had someone
Yearning for a partner to engage in such displays.
But it seems I'm undone
Feels unsuccessful or thwarted in finding a partner.
These public displays of affection
Observation of affectionate gestures in public.
Surely your love must be new
Speculation that the displayed love is recent.
I can't wait for my next rejection
Anticipating future romantic failures.
I'm always the first in the queue
Consistently experiencing rejection, always the first to face it.
Try to hold your soul
Encouraging emotional restraint but causing emotional harm.
But I'll crush your spirit
Despite trying to hold back emotionally, causing harm to the other person's enthusiasm.
Why do I feel so close?
Feeling emotionally connected even when physically distant.
When I can't get near it
Frustration at the inability to get physically close despite emotional closeness.
I'm flooded with fear
Overwhelmed by fear.
And it don't disappear
Fear persists and doesn't fade away.
But I'm still standing here
Despite the fear, standing strong and resilient.
These public displays of affection
Reiteration of observing public displays of affection.
Surely your love must be new
Reiteration of the assumption that the displayed love is recent.
So conscious of my imperfections
Hyper-awareness of personal flaws but maintaining interest in the partner.
I've never lost interest in you
Despite imperfections, the interest in the partner remains unchanged.
These public displays of affection
Continued observation of public affection with a hint of skepticism.
Surely your love must be new
Reiteration of the assumption that the displayed love is recent.
You're natural over-protection
Noticing a natural tendency to be overly protective, which leaves the observer with nothing to contribute.
Leaves me with nothing to do
Feeling excluded or unnecessary due to the partner's protective behavior.
These public displays of affection
Reiteration of observing public displays of affection.
Surely your love must be new
Reiteration of the assumption that the displayed love is recent.
I've got no time for reflection
No time for introspection, perhaps due to a busy or hectic life.
My service is long overdue
Acknowledging a delayed response or action, possibly in the context of love or relationships.
