You Don't Want Me Around
Yearning Echoes: Unrequited Longing in Reckless Kelly's Melody
Lyrics
I've been looking
I've been searching for a specific type of girl.
For a girl like you
Expressing the desire for a girl like the one he's been searching for.
And I wish
Expressing a wish or hope.
You were looking for me too
Expressing a desire for reciprocation, hoping the girl is also looking for him.
But you don't want me around
Confirmation that the girl does not want him around.
No, you don't want me around
Reiteration that the girl rejects his presence.
No, you don't want me around
Repetition to emphasize the rejection.
We all long for
Expressing a universal longing for genuine and enduring love.
A love so true
Desire for a love that is genuine and sincere.
And I would die for
Expressing extreme devotion, even to the point of being willing to die for love.
One night with you
Expressing a strong desire for a romantic encounter.
But you don't want me around
Reiteration of the girl's rejection of his presence.
No, you don't want me around
Reaffirmation of the girl's unwillingness to have him around.
No, you don't want me around
Repetition for emphasis on the rejection theme.
You don't want me around
Reiteration of the girl's refusal to have him around.
You don't want me around
Repetition to stress the girl's rejection.
No, you don't want me around
Emphasizing once again that the girl doesn't want him around.
You don't want me around
Confirmation that the girl rejects his presence.
I know that you don't want me around
Awareness and acceptance of the girl's disinterest.
I know that you don't want me around
Repetition to highlight the acknowledgment of the girl's lack of interest.
No you don't want me around
Reiteration of the girl's rejection of him.
Don't want me around
Emphasizing the girl's active choice not to have him around.
