say mine
Unrequited Whispers: Rivka Chaim's Tale of Love's Illusion
Lyrics
Perfect lips
Expressing admiration for perfect lips.
Spilling your perfect tricks
Noting the display of impressive skills or behaviors.
I know you don't feel for me
Acknowledging the lack of reciprocal feelings from the other person.
The way I feel for you
Highlighting a disparity in emotional intensity between the speaker and the other person.
Perfect smile
Appreciating a perfect smile.
Just stay with me for a while
Requesting the other person to stay in the speaker's company for a while.
You find your excuses
Noticing the other person's tendency to find excuses to end the interaction.
To drive me back home
Referring to being driven back home, possibly metaphorical for a return to a familiar emotional state.
It took you so long
Commenting on the time it took for the other person to use an affectionate term like "baby."
For you to call me "baby"
Describing the initial phase of the relationship as enjoyable but emotionally intense.
It's all fun and games
Emphasizing the impact of the other person's actions on the speaker's mental state.
To drive me crazy
Suggesting the irresistible nature of their romantic encounters.
Cause you can't resist
Anticipating a finite duration for their connection, not a permanent state.
The way that we kiss
Emphasizing the ephemeral nature of their time together.
But it's not forever
Expressing the inevitability of time running out on their relationship.
We'll run out of time
Anticipating a reluctance to use terms like "love" in their interactions.
You'll never say "love"
Highlighting the absence of possessive expressions like "mine" from the other person.
And you'll never say "mine"
Referring to an idealized but lost love.
Perfect love
Committing to sustaining the relationship despite challenges.
You fell right out of it, love
Acknowledging the speaker's effort to keep the relationship afloat.
But I'll keep us both afloat
Using the metaphor of waves to symbolize external forces affecting the relationship.
'Til the waves pull me in
Expressing vulnerability and emotional distress in the face of challenges.
Watch me cry
Observing the other person's indifference to the speaker's emotional state.
But you just glance behind
Pondering what the other person has gained or lost in the relationship.
What have you lost or found?
Asserting the speaker's continued presence despite challenges.
Hey, I'm still right here
Reiterating the prolonged wait for affectionate terms from the other person.
It took you so long
Recalling the emotional toll of the relationship's ups and downs.
For you to call me "baby"
Describing the emotional turbulence caused by the other person's actions.
It's all fun and games
Reiterating the irresistible nature of their romantic encounters.
You're driving me crazy
Highlighting the mental strain caused by the other person's behavior.
Cause you can't resist
Emphasizing the alluring quality of their kisses.
The way that we kiss
Acknowledging the temporary nature of their connection.
But it's not forever
Anticipating the eventual expiration of their time together.
We'll run out of time
Predicting a hesitancy to express deeper emotions like "love."
You'll never say "love"
Anticipating a reluctance to claim ownership or commitment with terms like "mine."
And you'll never say "mine"
Summarizing the expectation of a relationship with limitations on expressions of love and commitment.
