Baby
Eternal Longing: Pretend Friend's Poetic Odyssey
Lyrics
Oh
Expressing a sense of realization or acknowledgment.
Now the time has come
Indicating the present moment when a significant event is about to happen.
And we've got a little older
Reflecting on the passage of time and the aging process.
All those same dark hang outs
Referring to familiar and possibly negative places from the past.
And places we were born
Pointing to the locations associated with one's origin or upbringing.
I am so damn tired
Expressing weariness and exhaustion from life's burdens.
Of all this weight upon my shoulders
Metaphorically describing the weight of responsibilities or challenges.
Baby you're the only one I want
Declaring a strong desire for a particular person.
I said baby you're the only one I want
Reiterating the exclusivity of the desired person.
Like a midnight fire
Comparing a connection to a midnight fire that persists even in the morning.
That in the morning smolders
Describing a lingering effect or emotion from a past experience.
Pushing back against
Resisting and confronting personal struggles or challenges.
All those demons that we taunt
Mentioning the confrontation with personal demons or inner conflicts.
I am so damn tired
Expressing continued fatigue from life's challenges.
Of all this weight upon my shoulders
Reiterating the burden of responsibilities on one's shoulders.
Baby, you're the only one I want
Affirming the exclusivity of affection towards a specific person.
I said baby you're the only one I want
Repeating the declaration of exclusive desire for the mentioned person.
I said baby, baby, baby
Emphasizing and possibly expressing affection through repetition of "baby."
You're the only one I want
Reiterating the exclusivity of desire for the mentioned person.
Well your hair is like the sun
Complimenting the physical attributes of the person, comparing hair to the sun.
And it warms me when it's colder
Highlighting the comforting and warm nature of the person's presence.
Calling me back home
Describing a magnetic pull or attraction towards home represented by the person.
Every time that I got lost
Indicating the person's role in providing guidance and direction in times of confusion.
I am so damn tired
Expressing ongoing exhaustion from life's challenges.
Of all this weight upon my shoulders
Reiterating the metaphorical weight on the speaker's shoulders.
Baby, you're the only one I want
Affirming the exclusive desire for the mentioned person despite challenges.
I said baby, you're the only one I want
Repeating the declaration of exclusive desire for the mentioned person.
I said baby, baby, baby
Emphasizing and possibly expressing affection through repetition of "baby."
You're the only one I want
Reiterating the exclusivity of desire for the mentioned person.
