Guarded
Unlocking Hearts: Semi Athletic's Poetic Tale of Connection and Caution
Lyrics
I love it when we get the chance to talk like this
I enjoy our conversations like this
I like hearing about your family and what you were like as a kid
I'm interested in learning about your family and childhood
I wish that we could talk a little more often
I wish we could talk more frequently
Cause it feels like you know me and I want to know you back
We seem connected, and I want to know you better
And you should take your time
Encouraging to take time
Cause you are right to be guarded
It's okay to be cautious
And you should take your time
Reiterating the importance of taking time
And know that I want to be a friend
Expressing a desire to be friends
I love the way you look down from a compliment
Admiring the way you respond to compliments
As if you already knew that, you just like that I gave in
You seem to enjoy my acknowledgment
And you should take your time
Repetition of the advice to take time
Cause you are right to be guarded
Emphasizing the appropriateness of being cautious
And you should take your time
Encouraging to take time once again
And know that I want to be a friend
Expressing the intention to be a friend
But this feeling in my chest, I can't get over it
Describing a persistent feeling in the chest
I don't know if I want to yet
Uncertain about wanting to overcome the feeling
But what am I holding onto?
Reflecting on what is being held onto emotionally
What am I holding onto?
Questioning what is being held onto
What am I holding onwhat am I holding onto?
Repeatedly questioning what is being held onto
Is there anything left?
Doubting if anything remains
And you should take your time
Reiteration of advising to take time
Cause you are right to be guarded
Reaffirming the importance of being cautious
And you should take your time
Encouraging the continuation of taking time
And know that I want to be a friend
Stating the desire to be a friend once again
