Water
Drowning in Emotion: Perspective's 'Water' Unveils a Love's Depths
Lyrics
I wanna be apart of it all
I want to be a part of everything
So listen to me slow
Listen to me carefully and deliberately
Steady speed
Maintain a consistent pace
Your words hydrating me
Your words are nourishing and sustaining me
Like water I need to
Like water, your presence is essential for my survival every day
Survive everyday
You are my chaos, my unpredictable factor
You're my entropy
You are my sweet and comforting melody
My sweet melody
Enter this intimate space with me
So come in the cave
Don't be scared, embrace this with courage
Please don't be afraid
Show bravery in facing what comes
Please be brave
Expressing a desire to be part of cherished memories
I want to occupy the photos there that hang up on your wall
Describing a specific location with sentimental items
Near your bed in your apartment
Reflecting on unanswered questions and uncertainties
All the questions that are forming here inside my head
Curiosity about the origin and longevity of the relationship
Where'd you come from and why don't you stay
Expressing a desire for the person to stay
You're a light, you're a light illuminating glowing strong
Describing the person as a positive and illuminating force
I'm a moth drawn and I don't belong
Feeling like an outsider but choosing to stay
But I'll stay and I'll let you take the sight from me
Willingness to surrender to the experience
As I blind myself and then you'll see
Symbolic self-blindness to enhance the other's perception
Watching you work in my shirt
Observing the person working while wearing one's shirt
Thinking of the things that it would take
Contemplating the sacrifices required to leave
For me to ever walk away
Commitment to never abandoning the person
I'm never leaving you alone
Desiring a lasting connection with the person
Your name next to my name
Imagining a shared identity through names
In my head I'm counting down the days
Mentally counting the days spent thinking about the person
You're the lesion on my brain welcomed I wanna be connected
Viewing the person as a welcome influence on one's thoughts
You're an umbrella on a rainy day welcomed in a litany of ways
Comparing the person to a comforting presence in difficult times
