Quite Alright
Embracing Unseen Paths: Quite Alright by Paper Puppets
Lyrics
It's been a while since I saw you
Expressing the duration since the speaker last encountered the person
It's been a couple months, fo' sho'
Confirming a significant passage of time, approximately a couple of months
It's been a while since I left you
Indicating the time elapsed since the speaker departed
But you're not lettin' me go
Emphasizing the resistance or unwillingness of the person to let go
It's been a couple weeks since Sunday
Referring to a specific period of a couple of weeks since Sunday
And I'm a little lost, I know
Expressing a feeling of being lost but recognizing the evolving situation
But I think I'm getting closer
Believing to be getting closer to finding a sense of belonging
To finding my own home
Conveying a journey towards establishing one's own home
Go 'head, get back and run away
Encouraging the person to leave and escape
You'll never find the words to say
Suggesting difficulty in expressing feelings or finding appropriate words
I'll never be the one you see
Acknowledging that the speaker won't be the one noticed or chosen
But that is quite alright with me
Expressing contentment with not being the chosen one
Like a constant ray of sunshine
Comparing a constant positive presence to a ray of sunshine
In the cold December snow
Using imagery of a cold December snow to describe the uniqueness
You're like a path that no one's traveled
Portraying the person as an unexplored path in an unfamiliar land
In a land where no one goes
Emphasizing the person's uniqueness in a place no one ventures
I'm a cloud that's filled with raindrops
Comparing oneself to a cloud filled with raindrops
I'm the ice that coats the road
Describing oneself as the ice coating the road, possibly as a barrier
I'm like a never-ending winter
Being like a never-ending winter when only summer is expected
When the summer's all you're owed
Expressing a sense of being owed something different from what is received
Go 'head, get back and run away
Encouraging the person to leave and escape, repeating the sentiment
You'll never find the words to say
Highlighting the difficulty in finding appropriate words or expressions
I'll never be the one you see
Reiterating that the speaker won't be the chosen one or noticed
But that is quite alright with me
Restating the speaker's acceptance and contentment with the situation
You've got a smile like the sunset
Complimenting the person's smile, comparing it to a beautiful sunset
And you've got eyes that melt the soul
Appreciating the captivating eyes of the person
You've got a heart as big as Texas
Describing the person's heart as exceptionally generous, like Texas
And I see you filling in all the holes
Observing the person's positive influence in filling gaps or voids
I'm a little left of center
Expressing a sense of being unconventional or different from the norm
Maybe not so apropos
Acknowledging a lack of conformity or appropriateness
But my heart's as big as Texas too
Asserting a large-hearted nature similar to Texas, despite apparent differences
I guess you'll never know
Expressing uncertainty about whether the person recognizes the speaker's heart
Go 'head, get back and run away
Encouraging the person to leave and escape, repeating the sentiment
You'll never find the words to say
Reiterating the difficulty in finding suitable words or expressions
I'll never be the one you see
Reaffirming that the speaker won't be the one noticed or chosen
But that is quite alright with me
Reiterating the speaker's acceptance and contentment with the situation
Go 'head, get back and run away
Encouraging the person to leave and escape, repeating the sentiment
You'll never have the words to say
Pointing out the person's inability to express their needs, echoing earlier themes
I'll never be the one you need
Emphasizing that the speaker won't be the one needed by the person
But that is quite alright with me
Restating the speaker's acceptance and contentment with not being needed
