Cough
Echoes of Unrequited Longing
Lyrics
I would tell you to quiet down
I would advise you to be quiet or hush.
If you spoke
Only if you speak or communicate.
If you made me the point of your frown
If you directed negativity or displeasure towards me.
I melt and sift through the cracks in your floor
I disintegrate and move through the openings in your floor.
To a cheaper view
Towards a less expensive or valuable perspective.
With an open door
With an accessible opportunity.
I go out to see people again
I venture outside to socialize and interact with others.
I talk and I talk
I converse extensively.
No one listens
None pay attention or heed.
To wake up cold though I've dreamed of heat
To awaken feeling cold despite dreaming of warmth.
Proves just enough to break me
This situation is just enough to emotionally distress me.
And every time I cough it's like I taste you
My coughing sensation reminds me of your taste.
Every time I cough it's like I taste you
Repeatedly, when I cough, it triggers memories of your taste.
Every timeI cough it's like I taste you
Every instance of coughing evokes the memory of your taste.
Every time I cough it's like I taste you
Each time I cough, it brings back the sensation of your taste.
I would tell you to quiet down
I would advise you to be quiet or hush.
If you spoke
Only if you speak or communicate.
If you made me the point of your frown
If you directed negativity or displeasure towards me.
I melt and sift through the cracks in your floor
I disintegrate and move through the openings in your floor.
To a cheaper view
Towards a less expensive or valuable perspective.
With an open door
With an accessible opportunity.
I go out to see people again
I venture outside to socialize and interact with others.
I talk and I talk
I converse extensively.
No one listens
None pay attention or heed.
To wake up cold though I've dreamed of heat
To awaken feeling cold despite dreaming of warmth.
Proves just enough to break me
This situation is just enough to emotionally distress me.
And every time I cough it's like I taste you
My coughing sensation reminds me of your taste.
Every time I cough it's like I taste you
Repeatedly, when I cough, it triggers memories of your taste.
Every timeI cough it's like I taste you
Every instance of coughing evokes the memory of your taste.
Every time I cough it's like I taste you
Each time I cough, it brings back the sensation of your taste.
