Don't Look Away
Emotional Depths Unveiled: 'Don't Look Away' by Simon James
Lyrics
Nothing beyond the walls of your room
Expressing a sense of confinement or limitation within personal space.
Feels like the world lies between me and you
Perceiving a significant emotional distance between the speaker and the listener.
I can keep wiping your glistening eyes
Offering comfort and support by wiping away tears.
When it's hard just to get through the night
Acknowledging the difficulty of navigating challenging nights.
Leave it open
Suggesting a desire for openness and honesty.
Don't look away from me
Pleading for attention and connection, asking not to be ignored.
Baby stay with me
Requesting the listener to stay and be present.
I can't just go to sleep
Expressing difficulty in falling asleep due to emotional turmoil.
Oh, I just can't give you up
Admitting the speaker's emotional dependence on the listener.
Baby don't cut and run
Urging the listener not to abandon the relationship abruptly.
That's not what I want from us
Clarifying the speaker's expectations for the relationship.
Ohh
Expressing emotion, possibly emphasizing the seriousness of the plea.
Baby don't cut and run, cut and run
Reiterating the plea for the listener not to leave abruptly.
That's not what I want from us, want from us
Emphasizing that the speaker's desires are different from a sudden breakup.
Baby don't cut and run, cut and run
Repeating the plea for commitment and continuity in the relationship.
That's not what I want from us, want from us
Restating the speaker's expectations for the relationship.
When we're alone I can't keep your focus
Highlighting a challenge in maintaining the listener's attention when alone.
(When we're alone)
Reiterating the feeling of isolation when together.
Holding your hand and I can't help but notice
Noticing physical closeness but perceiving emotional distance.
Squeezing your thighs and you're rolling your eyes at me
Describing a moment of intimacy and potential miscommunication.
I cant do anything right
Expressing insecurity about the speaker's actions in the relationship.
But I'm hoping (when we're alone)
Expressing hope for understanding despite past mistakes.
Don't look away from me
Reiterating the plea not to be ignored or avoided.
Baby stay with me
Requesting the listener to remain in the relationship.
I can't just go to sleep
Reiterating difficulty in sleeping due to emotional turmoil.
Oh, I just can't give you up
Emphasizing emotional attachment and reluctance to let go.
Baby don't cut and run
Encouraging the listener not to abandon the relationship.
That's not what I want from us
Restating the speaker's expectations for the relationship.
Ohh
Expressing emotion, possibly emphasizing the seriousness of the plea.
Baby don't cut and run, cut and run
Reiterating the plea for commitment and continuity in the relationship.
That's not what I want from us, want from us
Emphasizing that the speaker's desires are different from a sudden breakup.
Baby don't cut and run, cut and run
Repeating the plea for the listener not to leave abruptly.
That's not what I want from us, want from us
Restating the speaker's expectations for the relationship.
Baby don't cut and run, cut and run
Reiterating the plea for commitment and continuity in the relationship.
That's not what I want from us, want from us
Emphasizing that the speaker's desires are different from a sudden breakup.
Baby don't cut and run, cut and run
Repeating the plea for the listener not to leave abruptly.
That's not what I want from us, want from us
Restating the speaker's expectations for the relationship.
