New York Times
Navigating Love's Turbulence: Quinn Cicala's Melodic Reflection
Lyrics
I think I didn't sleep last night I was
The singer couldn't sleep because they were preoccupied with thoughts.
Busy thinking of your fight and how much
Reflecting on a past argument or disagreement.
I wish I could be there
Expressing a desire to be present and supportive.
Hearing that you're getting worse
Learning that the situation of the person mentioned is deteriorating.
Seeing you is a curse but a blessing
Meeting the person causes mixed emotions of difficulty and benefit.
I know it's unfair
Acknowledging the situation's unfairness.
If I had anything besides advice from New York Times I'd
Feeling reliant on advice from media like the New York Times due to a lack of other means to help.
Pick you up and take you home
Expressing a desire to assist and comfort the person in need.
I don't think I believed anything before I met you
Realizing a shift in belief or perspective after meeting the person.
And you were right here but now you're on your own
Feeling the absence of the person and their current solitary condition.
I think I didn't eat today I was
Not having eaten due to preoccupation with concerns about the person.
Busy reading why your taste is dulled now
Engaged in finding information about the person's health issues.
And how your body aches
Acknowledging the physical discomfort and pain the person is experiencing.
Assuming you're not telling the truth
Doubting the honesty of the person's reassurances about their condition.
When you say that it's not so bad I'd rather
Preferably bearing the pain instead of the person.
It be me than you
Expressing the desire to switch places with the suffering person.
If I had anything besides advice from New York Times I'd
Reliance on advice from media or external sources due to a lack of personal ability to help.
Pick you up and take you home
Reiterating the desire to provide support and comfort.
I don't think I believed anything before I loved you
Realizing a change in belief or understanding after falling in love with the person.
And you were right here but now you're on your own
Feeling the absence of the loved one and their current isolation.
You were right here but now you're on your own
Repeating the acknowledgment of the loved one's solitary state.
If I had anything besides advice from stupid guys I'd
Expressing discontent with advice from less valuable sources.
Pick you up and take you home
Reiterating the desire to help and care for the person in need.
I don't think I cared about anything before I loved you
Realizing a change in caring and concern after falling in love with the person.
And you were right here but now you're on your own
Feeling the absence of the loved one and acknowledging their solitude.
You were right here but now you're on your own
Repeating the acknowledgment of the loved one's solitary state.
You were right here but now you're on your own
Reiterating the acknowledgment of the loved one's solitary state.
