Yearning Phases: A Melodic Dance with Longing
Lyrics
I'm not going to call you
I choose not to initiate contact with you.
But if you call me I'll answer
If you reach out to me, I'll respond.
And I don't think that's happening
I don't believe that will happen, but I'm hopeful.
But I'm waiting like it's amber
I'm waiting patiently, akin to the slow movement of amber.
Like a lunar cycle
Similar to the phases of the moon, you re-enter my life.
You keep coming back in phases
At times, you encompass my entire world.
Sometimes you're the whole sky
Other days, there's no trace of your presence.
And some days there's not a trace of you all
Perhaps I'm attracted to aesthetically pleasing things.
Well maybe I'm just drawn to pretty things
I can't deny that I'm eagerly anticipating your return.
There's no use pretending I'm not waiting
Similar to a puppet on a string, I'm waiting for you.
Like a puppet on a string
I'll willingly endure this wait for you again.
For you again.
Expressing a willingness to wait for you.
I'll happily stay
Reiterating the readiness to stay for you.
For you again
Commitment to enduring the wait for you.
There's a part of me that wishes
A part of me prefers solitude, but...
I was better on my own
I've overstayed my welcome; it's time to leave.
'Cause I've overstayed my welcome, now
Admitting to having stayed too long.
It's time that I should go
It's an acknowledgment that departure is necessary.
And since I'm being honest now
Being honest about feeling down or sad.
I've been feeling kind of blue
An admission of feeling a sense of sadness.
And I'm sorry if it's selfish
Apologizing for potential selfishness in expressing emotions.
But I kind of hope you feel that too
Wishing for a shared emotional experience.
Well maybe I'm just drawn to pretty things
Repeating the theme of being drawn to attractive things.
There's no use pretending I'm not waiting
Acknowledging the futility of denying the anticipation.
Like a puppet on a string
Similar to a puppet, waiting for your return.
For you again
Expressing a readiness to stay for you again.
I'll happily stay
Commitment to enduring the wait for you, once more.
For you again
Reiteration of the willingness to wait for you.
And I don't even need to get drunk anymore
Highlighting that alcohol is no longer necessary to desire your presence.
To need to see you
The yearning to see you remains strong.
And I don't even feel an ounce of remorse
No guilt or regret is felt about this desire.
When I tell people
No remorse is experienced in sharing these feelings with others.
I'm in so deep my feet can't touch the bottom
Feeling deeply immersed in emotions, unable to find solid ground.
But I'm still floating like I've forgotten
Despite the depth, there's a sense of floating and forgetfulness.
What it felt like to be yours
Forgetting the sensation of being in a committed relationship with you.
Well maybe I'm just drawn to pretty things
Repeating the theme of being drawn to attractive things.
There's no use pretending I'm not waiting
Acknowledging the futility of denying the anticipation.
Like you're holding all my strings
Feeling controlled by the anticipation of your return.
For you again
Expressing a willingness to wait happily for you.
I'll happily wait
Commitment to enduring the wait for you with contentment.
For you again
Reiteration of the readiness to wait for you once more.
