Focus
Capturing Hearts: A Plea for Connection in Rebekah Ruyle's 'Focus'
Lyrics
Can I ask for your attention
Asking for attention, seeking engagement
Would you please get off your phone
Request to disconnect from the phone and be present
I just want your affection
Desire for affection and emotional connection
You're here, but I'm alone
Feeling lonely despite physical presence
I know you're working hard
Acknowledgment of partner's hard work
But your money's not
Implies money isn't the desired expression of love
what I crave inside my heart
Expressing a need for deeper emotional connection
Oh
Indicates an emotional longing
Prove your love to me
Requesting proof or demonstration of love
Let me know your thoughts
Wanting to understand partner's thoughts and feelings
Instead of chasing things
Shift focus from material pursuits to the relationship
I need you to focus on me
Requesting undivided attention and dedication
I want your time
Expressing a desire for partner's time
I need you to focus on me
Reiteration of the need for focus on the relationship
Show me you're trying
Desiring visible effort in the relationship
By holding me and hearing me
Specific actions desired: holding, hearing, and intimacy
Kissing me, embracing me
Requesting physical affection and closeness
Making me your main point of view
Wanting to be the primary focus in the partner's life
Gonna need you to focus on me
Reiteration of the need for undivided attention
I need you to focus
Emphasizing the need for focus on the relationship
Seven days a week
Requesting consistent attention throughout the week
You're always on the move
Noting partner's constant busyness
Maybe you're not my speed
Wondering if partner's pace matches theirs
If I'm slow motion to you
Feeling like the partner perceives time differently
I know you're working hard
Reiteration of partner's hard work
But your money's not
Reiteration that money isn't the desired focus
What I crave inside my heart
Reemphasizing the need for emotional connection
Oh
Indicates emotional longing again
Prove your love to me
Requesting proof or demonstration of love again
Let me know your thoughts
Wanting to understand partner's thoughts and feelings again
Instead of chasing things
Reiterating the need to shift focus to the relationship
I need you to focus on me
Requesting undivided attention and dedication again
I want your time
Expressing a desire for partner's time again
I need you to focus on me
Reiteration of the need for focus on the relationship
Show me you're trying
Desiring visible effort in the relationship again
By holding me and hearing me
Specific actions desired again: holding, hearing, and intimacy
Kissing me, embracing me
Requesting physical affection and closeness again
Making me your main point of view
Wanting to be the primary focus in the partner's life again
Gonna need you to focus on me
Reiteration of the need for undivided attention again
I want your time
Repetition of the desire for partner's time
I need you to focus on me
Repetition of the request for focus on the relationship
Show me you're trying
Repetition of desiring visible effort in the relationship
By holding me and hearing me
Repetition of specific desired actions for intimacy
Kissing me, embracing me
Repetition of requesting physical affection
Making me your main point of view
Repetition of wanting to be the primary focus
Gonna need you to focus on me
Reiteration of the need for undivided attention
Mmm, I need you to focus
Repetition of the desire for focus on the relationship</
