If You Wanna
Whispers of Silent Desires: If You Wanna by Sarah Familiar
Lyrics
If you wanna close your eyes and
Willingness to let go of distractions and be present
Stay a while
Request to linger for a period of time
I'll shut my pretty mouth before I
Commitment to silence before altering someone's decision
Change your mind
Preventing changes in someone's viewpoint
Swallow slippery words so you don't
Suppressing words that might cause avoidance
Run and hide
Avoidance of confrontation or escape
Hold my tongue in hopes you'll hold my
Desire for connection and intimacy
Hand tonight
Symbolic gesture for closeness and support
Constantly silenced from
Feeling consistently silenced due to pressure
Overwhelming pressure
Being overwhelmed by societal expectations
To provide words worth your time
Struggle to meet expectations in communication
Fighting an undying
Unending desire or compulsion to remain quiet
Need to be quiet, I'll just
Acceptance of silence despite discomfort
Sit there and choke on my pride
Enduring humiliation or internal conflict silently
So say my name for me, my dear
Request for acknowledgment and affirmation
Say it over, and over again
Desire for repeated recognition
Oh, say my name for me, my dear
Seeking reassurance through repetition
Comfort me with familiar words
Longing for comfort through familiar expressions
I'll trust anything I hear, oh
Willingness to trust words without skepticism
And if you wanna close your eyes and
Reiteration of the invitation to stay and be present
Stay a while
Commitment to silence before altering someone's decision (repeated)
I'll shut my pretty mouth before I
Preventing changes in someone's viewpoint (repeated)
Change your mind
Suppressing words that might cause avoidance (repeated)
Swallow slippery words so you don't
Avoidance of confrontation or escape (repeated)
Run and hide
Desire for connection and intimacy (repeated)
Hold my tongue in hopes you'll hold my
Symbolic gesture for closeness and support (repeated)
Hand tonight
Say my name for me, my dear
Desire for repeated recognition (repeated)
Say it over, and over again
Seeking reassurance through repetition (repeated)
Say my name for me, my dear
Longing for comfort through familiar expressions (repeated)
Comfort me with familiar words
Willingness to trust words without skepticism (repeated)
I'll trust anything I hear
And if you wanna close your eyes and
Commitment to silence before altering someone's decision (repeated)
Stay a while
Preventing changes in someone's viewpoint (repeated)
I'll shut my pretty mouth before I
Suppressing words that might cause avoidance (repeated)
Change your mind
Avoidance of confrontation or escape (repeated)
Swallow slippery words so you don't
Desire for connection and intimacy (repeated)
Run and hide
Symbolic gesture for closeness and support (repeated)
Hold my tongue in hopes you'll hold my
Hand tonight
Longing for connection and closeness (repeated)
