Simple Enough
Love's Odyssey: Sailing Through the Heart's Depths
Lyrics
And if I was a sailor
The speaker imagines themselves as a sailor.
Id sail the seven seas
They would explore extensively (sail the seven seas) for a specific purpose.
To tell you ?baby I don?t want you to leave?
Expressing a desire to convince someone not to leave.
You see this world is such a sad place
They perceive the world as melancholic.
And without your pretty face
Highlighting the importance of the person's presence ('your pretty face').
I'm sure its gonna wind up much worse
Fearing that the world's condition would worsen without the person.
And I know that you?ll see someday that I can't live without you
Confident that the person will eventually realize the speaker's dependence on them.
And I know what I say is true cause I'm so stuck on you girl
Assuring the truth in their feelings and attachment ('stuck on you').
I'm in love from the first time I let my eyes on you
Expressing falling in love upon first sight.
I sure do do do do do
Reiteration of affection.
There?s nothing I can do
Feeling helpless in changing the situation.
And I?m in love from the first time I let my lips on yours
Recalling the first kiss and being deeply in love.
Now you?re walking out my door
The person is leaving the speaker's life.
And there?s nothing I can do
Again, expressing helplessness in altering this outcome.
And if I could explore the world
If given the chance to explore, they'd want the person to accompany them.
I?d bring you along
Emphasizing a desire to share experiences with the person.
We?d go to New York to Timbuktu
Listing places they'd visit together if circumstances were different.
But truly I am set
Acceptance of the present moment, finding contentment in a simple setting.
Right here at Denny?s drinking coffee and sharing a cigarette
Enjoying a simple moment at a diner, indicating the value of small joys.
And I know that you?ll see someday that I can't live without you
Reiteration of the conviction that life is incomplete without the person.
And I know what I say is true cause I'm so stuck on you girl
Confirms the strength and depth of their attachment.
I'm in love from the first time I let my eyes on you
Reaffirmation of falling in love at first sight.
I sure do do do do do
Repetition of affection.
There?s nothing I can do
Expressing helplessness in changing the current situation.
And I?m in love from the first time I let my lips on yours
Recalling the impact of the first kiss but now facing the person's departure.
Now you?re walking out my door
Confirming the person leaving the speaker's life.
And there?s nothing I can do
Reiterating the helplessness in altering this outcome.
I?m in love with you.
Declaration of being deeply in love with the person.
