Worth Your Time
Worth Your Time: Struggles of Connection
Lyrics
Lavender Lucy won't you come over here
Addressing someone named Lavender Lucy, inviting her to come closer.
Been bottlin' up the way I feel
Expressing a tendency to hide emotions or thoughts.
I wanna strike true but I miss the mark
Desiring authenticity but struggling to achieve it, possibly in a relationship.
Every time I put out my heart
Acknowledging difficulty in expressing emotions without facing disappointment.
Eyes on my coffee but I'm thinkin' bout you
Indicating distraction with thoughts of someone while doing a mundane activity.
We sit in silence I don't know what to do
Describing a moment of silence in the company of someone, feeling unsure about what to do.
I wanna say somethin' I wanna change the mood
Expressing a desire to communicate or change the atmosphere but facing challenges.
But everything I do seems to frustrate you
Feeling that efforts to communicate or change the mood result in frustration.
And I know you get bored I'm a boring guy
Acknowledging a perception of being boring and potentially causing boredom in the relationship.
If you wanna leave you can say goodbye
Giving the option for the other person to leave if they find the situation uninteresting.
I won't make you stay, I won't even try
Expressing a willingness to let go without resistance if the other person decides to leave.
But if you stay with me I hope I'm worth your time
If the person stays, expressing a hope to be valued and considered worthy of their time.
Spent half my life around people like you
Reflecting on past experiences of being around similar people without finding a sense of belonging.
But it never did click I never found my groove
Not connecting with others, struggling to find one's place or identity.
Went looking for magic but I only found dirt
Searching for something magical but encountering disappointment and disillusionment.
Went looking for love and I only found hurt
Seeking love but experiencing pain and heartbreak instead.
Sometimes it looks like I'm pulling away
Appearing distant, but actually hoping the other person will choose to stay.
But really I'm just hoping you might stay
Recognizing a tendency to be pessimistic or a downer, expressing a fear of rejection.
I'm such a downer and my words are a drag
Acknowledging a negative impact of words on the mood, requesting understanding.
Please don't please don't do me like that
Pleading with the other person not to treat them poorly.
And I know you get bored I'm a boring guy
Reiterating the perception of being boring and the option for the other person to leave.
If you wanna leave you can say goodbye
Offering the choice to leave without attempting to persuade the person to stay.
I won't make you stay, I won't even try
Reiterating the willingness to let go without resistance if the other person decides to leave.
But if you stay with me I hope I'm worth your time
Expressing hope that if the person stays, they find value and worth in the relationship.
And I know you get bored I'm a boring guy
Repeating the acknowledgment of being perceived as boring and the option to leave.
If you wanna leave you can say goodbye
Offering the choice to leave without attempting to persuade the person to stay.
I won't make you stay, I won't even try
Reiterating the willingness to let go without resistance if the other person decides to leave.
But if you stay with me I hope I'm worth your time
Expressing hope that if the person stays, they find value and worth in the relationship.
