Unrequited Night Thoughts: Porch Dream's Melancholic Reflections
Lyrics
Should be asleep right now
Expressing the desire to be asleep at the moment.
But I can't stop thinking about the way your smile looked
Reflecting on the impact of the listener's smile.
Or how your hellos got me hooked
Acknowledging the captivating effect of the listener's greetings.
You may never see me as someone more than someone you see
Conveying the fear of not being seen beyond a casual encounter.
Passing by sometimes
Describing a scenario where the narrator is only noticed occasionally.
No second thought after goodbye
Suggesting that there is no lingering thought after parting ways.
It's better off this way
Expressing a belief that it's better to maintain distance to avoid causing disappointment.
So I don't disappoint you
Stating the intention not to let the listener down.
Break you down and hurt you
Highlighting the fear of causing emotional pain.
At least from right here
Suggesting a decision to keep a safe distance from the listener.
If tears fall down from your eyes
Imagining a scenario where tears are shed, but assuring the narrator is not the cause.
I know I'm not the cause
Reiterating that the narrator is not responsible for any tears.
I may never grow to accept the love I want to know
Expressing difficulty in accepting the desired love.
It's for the best this time, to let you go before I try
Deciding it's best to let go before attempting to pursue the love.
It's better off this way
Reiterating the belief that maintaining distance is the preferable choice.
So I don't disappoint you
Reaffirming the intention not to cause disappointment.
Break you down and hurt you
Reiterating the fear of causing emotional harm.
At least from right here
Emphasizing the decision to keep a safe distance from the listener.
If tears fall down from your eyes
Imagining tears falling from the listener's eyes and asserting the narrator's innocence.
I know I'm not the cause
Reiterating that the narrator is not the cause of any tears shed.
