Can't Explain
Unspoken Desires: Sarah Buckley's Enigmatic Melody of Love
Lyrics
I can't make any sense of it even though I often try
I struggle to make sense of things despite my frequent attempts.
There's just these dreams I have sometimes and in them you're my guy
I have dreams where you are my significant other.
There's all these things we've never done they make me sure that you're the one
Unfulfilled experiences with you convince me that you're the one.
I can't explain
There's an inexplicable feeling or situation.
And I can't find the rational even though I often try
I can't find a rational explanation despite trying.
There's just these days I have, and in them, you're all that gets me by
On certain days, thoughts of you are what keep me going.
This want that you will never know, inside me seems to grow and grow
An unspoken desire for you intensifies within me.
I can't explain
There's an unexplainable aspect to my emotions.
And sometimes when we talk, and no one else is near, and I wonder should I tell you
During our private conversations, I contemplate revealing my feelings.
I wonder would you care
I wonder if you would care if I expressed my emotions.
But in real life all I ever do, is bow my head and stub my shoe
In reality, I often avoid expressing myself, feeling reserved.
And sometimes when we talk, and no one is around and I wonder should I tell you
Similar to line 9, contemplating disclosure during private talks.
I wonder how it sounds
I ponder how it would sound if I opened up about my feelings.
But in real life all I ever do, is bow my head and walk past you
In reality, I tend to avoid expressing my emotions, choosing to walk past you.
I can't explain
Repetition of the inability to explain certain emotions or situations.
I can't explain
-I can't explain
-I can't explain
Reiteration of the unexplainable nature of emotions or situations.
There's these secrets that we keep where I'm resigned, I'm yours I'm weak
Secrets are mentioned, expressing vulnerability or hidden aspects of oneself.
There's these secrets that we keep where I'm all yours I'm done, I'm meek
-There's these secrets that we keep, I've made them up, your little freak
-Sometimes when we talk, and no one else is near and I wonder should I tell you,
Contemplating disclosure during private talks, questioning if you would care.
I wonder would you care,
Wondering if you would care if I revealed my true feelings.
But in real life all I ever do, is bow my head and stub my shoe
Reiteration of avoiding expression, bowing my head, and feeling reserved.
And sometimes when we talk, and no one is around and I wonder should I tell you
Similar to line 22, contemplating disclosure during private talks.
I wonder how it sounds
Pondering how it would sound if I opened up about my feelings.
But in real life all I ever do, is bow my head and stub my shoe
Reiteration of avoiding expression, bowing my head, and feeling reserved.
I can't explain
Continued expression of the inability to explain certain emotions or situations.
I can't explain
-There's these secrets that we keep,
Reiteration of the presence of secrets in the relationship.
I've made them up
Admission of creating imaginary secrets, portraying vulnerability.
Your little freak
Describing oneself as a unique or unconventional aspect of the relationship.
