Holding Back
Embracing Love's Fear: Mulberry Thursday's 'Holding Back' Revelations
Lyrics
Got to keep this feeling inside
Expressing the need to conceal an emotion or sensation.
There's something about you that just feels right
Feeling a positive connection with someone.
So scared to try cause I might fall
Fear of taking a risk as it may lead to failure.
Should I be with you tonight?
Contemplating whether to spend the night with the person.
When I'm with you, I feel alive
Feeling a sense of vitality when in the company of the person.
When I touch your hand, It just feels right
Positive and comforting sensation when physically connected.
So scared to try cause I know I might fall
Fear of trying, anticipating a potential fall or failure.
Will I be with you tonight?
Uncertainty about spending the night together.
Do you feel the same
Inquiring about mutual feelings.
Consumed by all the shame that you have shown
Feeling burdened by shame associated with the person.
We're both afraid to tell the truth I know
Mutual fear of being honest and revealing true feelings.
Love like this is hard. This might not work at all
Acknowledging the challenges of a difficult love.
So if you're scared to try, then don't let me fall
Encouraging not to be afraid to try, seeking support.
Don't let me fall
Repetition for emphasis: a plea not to experience a fall.
Don't let me fall
Reiteration of the plea to avoid a downfall.
Don't let me fall
Emphasizing the urgency of not falling.
Don't let me fall
Continued plea to avoid a potential failure.
I need to hold this feeling inside
Expressing the need to internalize a particular emotion.
And have the courage to do what's right
Stressing the importance of having courage for the right actions.
Cause if not, then I know I will fall
Acknowledging the risk of failure if the right actions are not taken.
I need to be away… from you tonight
Expressing the need to be apart from the person on that night.
