Unreachable Desires: Exploring the Pain of Longing
Lyrics
Lately I've been tryin' realreal hard
Lately, I've been putting in significant effort
But that hasn't gotten me very far
However, that effort hasn't yielded much progress
You are right in front of my face
The person addressed is physically close
But you seem so far away
Despite the proximity, they feel emotionally distant
It's hard to say
Expressing difficulty in determining the situation
If you're here to stay
Uncertainty about the person's commitment
Or you're out of my reach
Feeling that the person is beyond one's ability to connect with
Outta my reach
Emphasizing the person's unattainability
You can feel me reaching out
Attempting to reach out emotionally
But that's not what you are worried about
The person is concerned about something other than the outreach
For now it's what I might do
Expressing uncertainty about potential actions
If you let me through
Contemplating the possibility if given emotional access
If you gave me your heart
Questioning one's capability to handle emotional vulnerability
Would I break it in two?
Concern about causing emotional harm
You're out of my reach
Reiterating the unattainability of the person emotionally
Outta my reach
Re-emphasizing the emotional distance
Lately I've been tryin' realreal hard
Similar to line 1, highlighting persistent efforts
But that hasn't gotten me very far
Reiterating the lack of significant progress despite efforts
You are right in front of my face
Re-emphasizing physical proximity and emotional distance
But you seem so far away
Reiterating the emotional gap despite physical closeness
It's hard to say
Reiterating difficulty in understanding the situation
If you're here to stay
Uncertainty about the person's commitment, repeating the theme
Or you're out of my reach
Repeating the feeling of being unable to emotionally connect
Babybabybaby
Using repetition to emphasize the emotional distance
You're outta my reach yeah
Re-emphasizing the emotional unattainability
Outta my
Repeated emphasis on the person being out of reach emotionally
Outta my
-Outta my
-Outta my
-Outta my
-Outta my
-Outta my
-Outta my reach and it hurts
Expressing the pain caused by the emotional distance
It hurts
Reiteration of the emotional pain and its intensity
It hurts
-It hurts so bad
-Goddamn
-You know it hurts so bad bad yeah
-You know it hurts so bad yeah yeah
-It hurts so
Concluding the expression of emotional distress
