Will
Navigating Emotional Turbulence: Quinn Cicala's 'Will' Explained
Lyrics
You're always breaking shit when I'm looking the other way
You often cause trouble when I'm not paying attention.
It's already tomorrow but it feels like yesterday
Time seems to pass quickly, yet the past lingers.
I don't wanna go back to bed even though I should
Despite the need for rest, I resist going back to sleep.
Down the street it's caddy corner to her old place
Refers to a location diagonally across from where she used to live.
I'm sad it's over but I really need a break I've
Expressing mixed emotions about the end of something, needing a break.
Smiled at you like six times today but it's all good
I've interacted with you positively multiple times today, and it's okay.
If I go home it's real
Returning home carries real consequences.
Don't cry, I'll deal
Encouraging not to cry, indicating readiness to cope with the situation.
But if it was up to me, you know I would
If decisions were mine, I'd choose differently.
I like driving all the time and all this week it's like
Enjoys driving consistently, feeling alive particularly in parking lots.
I've never felt more alive in a parking lot
A heightened sense of living, especially in mundane places like parking lots.
I don't need to feel everything I did
Expressing a desire to avoid feeling the weight of past experiences.
I'll wear a hearing aid and you'll get glasses for your eyes
Symbolic use of hearing aid and glasses, implying mutual support for imperfections.
The sun's coming down and the floor's gonna cave in right under my legs
Describing a moment when things are about to change dramatically.
You'll be feeling it tomorrow
Anticipating the emotional aftermath in the future.
But now I'm glad to be
Currently happy and content.
By spring, you'll see
Expecting positive changes by spring.
That when it's up to me
If decisions were mine, I'd shape a different future.
You know I will
Expressing determination to make positive choices when in control.
If I go home, it's real
Returning home has real implications.
Don't cry, I'll deal
Encouraging not to cry and expressing readiness to handle the situation.
I'll fix the van, I'm free
Commitment to fixing problems and feeling liberated.
Pick you up, come three
Planning to pick someone up at three, indicating a specific commitment.
Drive to another state and never leave
Willingness to embark on a journey to a new state and never return.
