We're Children
Navigating Love's Crossroads: Phoebe Snow's 'We're Children' Insights
Lyrics
We're children at the awkward stage
We are in the phase of awkwardness during our development.
With moods we can never show
We possess emotions that we conceal or cannot express openly.
That's why it's best to turn this page and go
It's better to move on from this situation and leave.
Just go, just go, just go, just go
Emphasizing the urgency to depart or move away.
You never stay around when I'm feeling fine
You're absent when I'm doing well emotionally.
You're back in time for pain
You return only when there's emotional pain.
And so my love some bad news
Regrettably, there's unfortunate news regarding your ring.
Your ring fell down the drain
Your ring has accidentally gone down the drain.
You're staring so I turn my head
You're observing me, causing me to divert my gaze.
My eyes give it all away
My eyes unintentionally reveal my feelings.
It hurts to know we still have things to say
It pains me to acknowledge that there are unresolved matters between us.
To say, to say, to say, to say
Emphasizing the repetition of things left unsaid.
You never stay around when I'm feeling fine
Your absence when I'm doing fine is consistent.
You're back in time for pain
You return specifically when there's emotional distress.
And so my love some bad news
Unfortunately, there's unfortunate news regarding your ring.
Your ring fell down the drain
Your ring has accidentally gone down the drain.
You're leaving but I'm not afraid
You're leaving, but I'm not afraid or in need of company.
Or lost without company
Without your presence, I'll spend time with myself.
I'll spend this time with someone new
I'll use this time to be with someone new, which is myself.
Me, it's me, it's me, it's me
Reaffirmation of spending time alone and focusing on self.
You never stay around when I'm feeling fine
Your absence persists when I'm emotionally stable.
You're back in time for pain
You reappear precisely when there's emotional pain.
And so my love some bad news
Unfortunately, there's unfortunate news regarding your ring.
Your ring fell down the drain
Your ring has accidentally gone down the drain.
