Great Lake
Unveiling Love's Journey: Skylar Pocket's Great Lake Revelations
Lyrics
I love when my heart
I find joy when my heart
Beats out of time
Beats irregularly
Feels like the sun just falls out of the sky
Experiencing a moment of intense emotion, as if the world is changing dramatically
And this is a promise I swear I wouldn't lie
Making a sincere promise not to deceive
When i said I might love you til
Expressing commitment to the possibility of loving someone indefinitely
Nevermind
Dismissively suggesting that the commitment might be ignored or forgotten
I love the shape
Appreciating the physical form
That the body makes
Admiring the contours created by the body
In those few times you decide to take up space
Noticing the rare occasions when the person occupies space
And this is a promise I swear I wouldn't lie
Reiterating the commitment to honesty in expressing feelings
When I said I might love you
Repeating the intention to love until a distant point in the future
Til that great lake dries
Referencing a significant time frame, the drying of a great lake, as a metaphor for an enduring love
I hold out my hands cause i know how i fall
Seeking support or connection by reaching out with open hands
Try to pretend that I know where I'll land I
Expressing uncertainty about the future and where life will lead
Remember that day
Reflecting on a specific day when the great lake was witnessed
We saw the great lake
Shared experience of seeing a vast and majestic natural feature
Skipped all our classes
Choosing to skip responsibilities or obligations for a memorable experience
You drove us away
Recalling a time when the other person took charge and steered them away
You're always driving us away
Observing a pattern of being driven away, potentially implying a troubled relationship
Always driving a wedge
Noting a recurring theme of creating distance or conflict
Always digging your heels in the dirt that is dead
Describing a persistent resistance or opposition, possibly hindering progress
Teach me how to dance
Requesting guidance or instruction on how to navigate through life
I have known these hands
Acknowledging familiarity with one's own capabilities or experiences
Teach me how to dance
Repeating the request for assistance in navigating life's challenges through dance
I have known these
Reiterating familiarity with personal experiences or challenges
