Someone New
Yearning for the Unseen: A Love's Dilemma
Lyrics
I just want to sleep with someone new
I desire to have a physical relationship with a new person.
Someone I've never met
This person is a stranger to me, someone I haven't encountered before.
Knowing it's a foolish thing to do
Despite knowing it's unwise, I acknowledge the foolishness of my desire.
And sure to cause regret
I am aware that such an act will likely lead to feelings of remorse.
There is no reason to do our love wrong
There is no valid reason to harm our existing love.
When we're together it's sweet and strong
Our love is sweet and strong when we are together.
It's where I belong
I feel a sense of belonging when we are together.
But I just want to sleep with someone new
Despite the strength of our love, I still have the desire to be with someone new.
Who doesn't know my name
I seek a person unfamiliar with my identity.
Who comes and takes my hand out of the blue
Yearning for a spontaneous connection, someone who unexpectedly takes my hand.
Just like in a dream
Describing the experience as if it were a dream.
Pass any doorway, ride any train
Expressing the ease of entering new situations where beauty is evident.
Walk into any room and beauty stakes its claim
Beauty claims its presence whenever I enter a place.
Drives it home again and again
This impact is repeatedly emphasized.
I just want to sleep with someone new
Reiteration of the desire for a physical connection with someone new.
I just want to sleep with someone else
Expressing the longing to be with a different person.
Touch some different skin
Desiring the touch of unfamiliar skin.
To do or not to do is both ways false
Contemplating the moral dilemma of the decision to act or not.
But one's a greater sin
Acknowledging that either choice has negative consequences, but one is worse.
I'm not about to tear this house down
Commitment to preserving the current relationship and not causing harm.
And I couldn't stand to sneak around
Expressing an aversion to engaging in secretive and deceitful behavior.
And lose this love I've found
Acknowledging the value of the current love and not wanting to lose it.
So daily I will make her someone new
Commitment to finding novelty and excitement within the existing relationship.
