Penguins Eating Wasabi
Love's Reflection: A Journey of Redemption in 'Penguins Eating Wasabi'
Lyrics
I can't stand to see you crying like that anymore
I am distressed seeing you cry, and I want to change that.
But I shouldn't be talking
I recognize the inappropriateness of speaking about this.
My own loss prevention calling
I'm focused on preventing further personal losses.
I'm always saying shitty things
I often express myself poorly or negatively.
And I can't blame the empty rings on my phone
I acknowledge that unanswered calls contribute to our issues.
When I call home
When I call, you are distressed or troubled.
You're not okay
Your emotional state is not good.
Why do I ask you "if" so often when I know just what I started?
I repeatedly inquire about the "if" despite knowing the consequences.
It's quite the difference
There's a noticeable change in my behavior from the previous day.
From how I acted yesterday, and still said to your face
I behaved poorly yesterday, yet I maintained the same stance.
You know I love you
I love you, but there's confusion about your feelings.
What were you thinking then?
What were you thinking when I said those words?
I could tell just from your eyes
I could sense your desire to confide in me just by looking at your eyes.
That you wanted to tell me everything
You wanted to share everything yet nothing simultaneously.
And nothing all at once
I won't pressure you for answers.
And I'll never beg you for answers
I don't demand explanations from you.
You don't owe me one conclusion
You're not obligated to reach a conclusion for me.
But I'll hold my head up high against the mirror
I'll face myself in the mirror with confidence.
And I'll listen
I will listen to you.
And I'll watch you tear your soul out
I'll witness your emotional struggle.
And I'll try to see it through your eyes
I'll attempt to understand from your perspective.
And I'll try to make you feel comfortable again
I'll strive to make you feel at ease once more.
What the fuck was I thinking when I said I never needed you?
I regret saying I didn't need you; you are essential to me.
You're all I've known and ever want to
You are my only known and desired connection.
