Half Empty
Love's Quandary: Navigating Dreams and Desires
Lyrics
Oh Oh Oh
Expression of uncertainty or contemplation.
The money, the power, all the clothes
Mention of materialistic symbols like money and power.
The car at the front yard that we’ll own
Reference to future ownership of a car.
The lights and the flashes that we’ll share
Anticipation of sharing moments in the limelight.
Will we be in love when we get there
Questioning the durability of love amidst success.
We’re working and can’t seem to make time
Struggling to find time amidst a busy life.
Can’t find a space in this place for you and I, oh
Difficulty in finding space for the relationship.
I can’t be the only one filling your cup
Expressing a desire to contribute more to the relationship.
Wanna give you love but that’s not enough
Acknowledging that love alone may not be sufficient.
Wanna hold your hand and still chase my dreams
Balancing the desire for love and personal dreams.
I just need a chance to focus on me
Expressing the need for personal focus and space.
If I gave you everything you ever ask
Considering the consequences of giving everything.
We’d both be thirsty
Both partners would be left wanting despite giving all.
Overflowing, always trying to fill your glass
Metaphorically depicting constant efforts to satisfy the partner.
But I’m half empty
Self-perception as emotionally incomplete.
I’m half empty
Reiteration of feeling emotionally incomplete.
We’re drowning but love is our life raft
Describing love as a source of support in tough times.
We’re working and watching the world pass
Observing life passing by while being occupied with work.
Yeah, we’re tired and we’re trying to stay afloat
Acknowledging fatigue while striving to stay afloat.
Yeah, but baby we’re both in the same boat, but
Shared struggles despite being in the same situation.
I can’t be the only one filling your cup
Reiteration of the desire to contribute more to the relationship.
I know we can swim, the water's just rough
Belief in overcoming challenges together.
Baby, hold my hand and we'll chase our dreams
Expressing a desire to pursue shared dreams together.
I just need a chance to focus on me
Reiterating the need for personal focus and space.
If I gave you everything you ever ask
Considering the consequences of fulfilling all requests.
We’d both be thirsty
Both partners would still feel unfulfilled.
Overflowing, always trying to fill your glass
Continued efforts to satisfy the partner despite personal emptiness.
But I’m half empty
Reiteration of feeling emotionally incomplete.
I’m half empty
Emphasizing the ongoing sense of emptiness.
If we will, if we will chase our dreams
Pondering the possibility of pursuing dreams together.
I just need a chance to focus on me
Reiterating the need for personal focus and space.
I can’t be the only one filling your cup
Desire to contribute more to the relationship.
I know we can swim, the water's just rough
Belief in overcoming challenges together.
Baby, hold my hand and we'll chase our dreams
Expressing a desire to pursue shared dreams together.
I just need a chance to focus on me
Reiterating the need for personal focus and space.
If I gave you everything you ever ask
Considering the consequences of fulfilling all requests.
We’d both be thirsty
Both partners would still feel unfulfilled.
Overflowing, always trying to fill your glass
Continued efforts to satisfy the partner despite personal emptiness.
But I’m half empty
Reiteration of feeling emotionally incomplete.
If I gave you everything you ever ask
Considering the consequences of fulfilling all requests.
I’m half empty
Emphasizing the ongoing sense of emptiness.
Overflowing, always trying to fill your glass
Continued efforts to satisfy the partner despite personal emptiness.
I’m half empty
Final emphasis on feeling emotionally incomplete.
