Cartwheel
Embracing Inner Joy: A Journey to the Beach
Lyrics
Little girl inside of me
Reflecting on the inner child within the singer
Why don't you come with me today?
Inviting the inner child to join the present moment
I'll take us to the beach
Expressing a plan to visit the beach together
I know you love it
Acknowledging the inner child's love for the beach
Cause I listen to you
Highlighting the singer's attentiveness to the inner child
To you
Reiteration of addressing the inner child
When we get there, we'll go straight to the shore
Describing the arrival at the beach and heading to the shore
Watch our toes sink in the sand
Imagery of toes sinking into the sand
Sit there while you just talk to me
Sitting and engaging in conversation with the inner child
Light up, tear up, talk more, cartwheel
Describing shared experiences: lighting up, tearing up, talking, and cartwheeling
Little girl, I know you think
Acknowledging the inner child's feelings of being unnoticed
No one has noticed you're gone
Suggesting the belief that no one has noticed the inner child's absence
And if they did, they might just be happier you are
Speculating that others might be happier not realizing the inner child is gone
I hear you, that's hard
Expressing understanding of the inner child's difficulty
So lonely, come to me
Inviting the inner child to share loneliness with the singer
You soak both of my sleeves
Describing emotional expression through tears soaking sleeves
When we're all done, you look up at me
Noting the inner child looking up at the singer after emotional release
I can't believe it's really you
Expressing disbelief at the presence of the inner child
It's you
Reiteration of addressing the inner child
Light up, tear up, talk more, cartwheel
Repetition of shared experiences: lighting up, tearing up, talking, and cartwheeling
Light up, tear up, talk more, cartwheel
-Light up, tear up, talk more, cartwheel
-Light up, tear up, talk more, cartwheel
