Can You Believe
Whispers of Heartache: Norah Jones' Soulful Reflections
Lyrics
Oh
Expression of surprise or disbelief.
Can you believe?
Repetition of the question, emphasizing the need for belief.
Can you believe?
-Can you believe?
-Do you hear me speaking?
Confirmation of communication, a plea to be heard.
Your name is rolling off my tongue
Expressing the act of saying the person's name with emotional intensity.
Can you hear the whispering?
Asking if the whispering, possibly negative thoughts, is audible.
The shame is not what I'll become
Acknowledging potential feelings of shame about the future self.
Oh
Reiteration of the central question, seeking validation or confirmation.
Can you believe?
-Can you believe?
-Can you believe?
-Sometimes when I'm cryin'
Describing a vulnerable moment, tears symbolized by a falling diamond.
A diamond falls into my heart
Suggesting emotional impact, possibly positive, when crying.
When my eyes are dryin'
Highlighting the emotional effect of someone's presence.
You come rip 'em all apart
Indicating the potential destruction of emotional barriers.
Ooh
Repeating the question, emphasizing the importance of belief.
Can you believe?
-Can you believe?
-Can you believe?
-Tell me you can hear me
Seeking confirmation of being heard, a desire for connection.
Tell me I'm not alone
Expressing the fear of loneliness and the need for reassurance.
In this whole world
Questioning the possibility of finding someone to call one's own.
Can there be someone who I can call
-Call my own?
-Come and take me higher
Asking for elevation beyond personal limits, both physically and emotionally.
Than I could ever climb alone
Expressing the difficulty of personal growth without external support.
Set my world on fire
Desiring intense and transformative experiences, seeking passion.
And melt this frozen piece of snow
Symbolizing the thawing of emotional coldness or detachment.
Oh
Repetition of the question, underlining the significance of belief.
Can you believe?
-Can you believe?
-Can you believe?
-Can you believe?
-Can you believe?
-Can you believe?
-Can you believe?
-Can you believe?
