Yearning for Connection: A Journey Through Love and Self-Acceptance
Lyrics
I'm always falling in love or falling apart
The speaker experiences a cycle of falling in love and facing emotional struggles.
With my mouth on my sleeve instead of my heart
The speaker is emotionally open but not necessarily deeply connected or committed.
I'm just waiting for someone that feels like home
The speaker seeks a person who feels like home, offering comfort and belonging.
With a coffee to go I keep the receipt
The speaker keeps records (receipts) of past experiences (symbolized by coffee) possibly for memories or learning.
Might not look like the type to try and be sweet
The speaker doesn't fit the stereotype of someone who easily shows sweetness.
But it's better to try than to be on my own
Choosing to make an effort rather than staying alone.
I'm just waiting for the day something special comes my way
Anticipation for something special or significant to happen in life.
And I, I'm tired
Expressing weariness or fatigue.
Of saying I'm okay when I know things aren't the same
Putting up a front of being fine despite recognizing things aren't the same.
And I, I
Reiterating the previous sentiment.
I tried being perfect and it wasn't for me
Past attempt at being perfect wasn't successful.
I tried to change my outlook just to find that I can't see
Effort to change perspective was futile.
So now I'm just accepting this is how things ought to be
Acceptance of the present circumstances.
And maybe this time someone else might rest their eyes on me
Hoping for attention or affection from someone new this time.
And if they don't, that's alright with me
Acceptance if the desired attention doesn’t materialize.
I'm always asking myself what I can do next
Constantly seeking new challenges or opportunities.
Never stopping to ask if I'm just obsessed
Questioning whether the quest for romance is healthy or bordering on obsession.
With the type of romance that you see on TV
Desire for a romantic relationship as portrayed in media.
Every button I press on the coffee machine
Symbolically representing small steps taken towards causing a stir or attracting attention.
I'm just one bigger step towards making a scene
Questioning whether actions are constructive or chaotic, perhaps due to caffeine-induced impulsivity.
Or am I making a mess? Blame it on the caffeine
Suggesting caffeine as a possible factor for actions or messes made.
I'm just waiting for the day something special comes my way
Reiteration of waiting for something significant.
And I, I'm tired
Repeating weariness or fatigue.
Of saying I'm okay when I know things aren't the same
Similar to line 9, acknowledging things aren’t okay despite saying so.
And I, I
Reiterating the sentiment expressed in line 10.
I tried being perfect and it wasn't for me
Reflecting on past attempts at perfection and acknowledging they weren't suitable.
I tried to change my outlook just to find that I can't see
Failure to alter one's perspective despite trying.
So now I'm just accepting this is how things ought to be
Acceptance of the current state of affairs.
And maybe this time, maybe this time
Hope for someone new to notice the speaker.
Someone else might rest their eyes on me
Repeating the hope for attention from someone else.
And if they don't, if they don't
Acceptance of the possibility of not receiving attention.
Well that's alright with me
Resigned acceptance if attention isn't received.
