Lyrics
From my heart to my head
Expressing emotions from deep within (heart) to conscious thoughts (head).
Leap feelings unscripted
Describing spontaneous and unrehearsed emotions or actions.
But to describe this love
Attempting to articulate the nature of love.
Is too much to ask of my mind
Feeling that the task of describing love is too challenging for the mind.
A lifetime to find the right lines
Acknowledging the prolonged search for the perfect expression of love.
Elusive, unthought of
Describing the ideal lines as elusive and not previously considered.
To express this good stuff
Struggling to find words to convey positive emotions.
I'd channel John Clare
Referencing John Clare, a poet known for nature poetry, as an inspiration.
If I could then I would share my mind and lifetime
Expressing the desire to share thoughts and experiences.
And find the right lines in lyrical goldmines
Seeking the right words in rich sources of lyrical inspiration.
Yet my fear comes true
Confirming a fear that words may fall short.
My words cannot do
Acknowledging the limitation of words to convey emotions adequately.
What my mind wants them to
Highlighting the disparity between what the mind intends and what words achieve.
And my heart needs them to speak the beautiful truth
Expressing a need for words to reveal a beautiful truth from the heart.
Still my fear comes true
Repeating the fear that words may not fulfill their intended purpose.
My words cannot do
Reiterating the inadequacy of words in capturing desired emotions.
What my mind wants them to
Emphasizing the gap between mind's intent and words' capability.
And my heart needs them to speak the beautiful truth
Reiterating the heart's need for words to convey a beautiful truth.
I'll scour the great prose of Romantic heroes
Expressing a commitment to explore the works of Romantic heroes for inspiration.
And show you when I see the perfect summary of my mind
Committing to sharing the perfect summary found in literary treasures.
Written lifetimes before I was designed
Referring to finding profound expressions of love written before personal existence.
And recite you love rhymes
Promising to recite poetic expressions of love.
