Island Halfway
Chasing Romance: Seeking Connection Beyond Cities
Lyrics
I looked for you in Paris
I searched for you in Paris
The lights were too bright
The city lights were too intense
Streets that promised me romance
Streets that promised romantic encounters
You were nowhere in sight
You were not present as expected
You looked for me in New York
You sought me in New York
Couldn't see through the smoke
Visibility hindered by city smoke
You've been walking for miles, miles, miles
You've walked miles without hope
Without any hope
A sense of despair in the journey
Got this feeling for the first time
A new emotion arises for the first time
A reason to run away
A motive to escape emerges
And I know you feel the same
Recognition that the other feels the same
Moonlight over oceans
Moonlight imagery over oceans
Let's meet on the island halfway
Suggestion to meet on an island halfway
Sunsets, roses, dancing under the rain
Evoking scenes of sunsets, roses, and dancing in the rain
All the people are far and it's warm in the dark
Isolation from people, warmth in the dark
The silence won't call our name
Emphasis on the silence not calling their names
Moonlight over oceans
Reiteration of moonlight over oceans
Let's meet on the island ha...
Repetition of the proposal to meet on the island halfway
We flow together like water
Symbolic connection, flowing together like water
We collide like a star
Symbolic collision, intense like a star
Everything we have been through
Recognition of shared experiences bringing them this far
Has got us this far
Undertaking to rewrite their shared narrative
We're re-writing every story
Reflecting on rewriting stories from their youth
We read since we were young
Acknowledgment that they are both undone
Now we're both undone
Recurrence of moonlight over oceans
Moonlight over oceans
Reiteration of the proposal to meet on the island halfway
Let's meet on the island halfway
Reemphasizing the imagery of moonlight over oceans
Sunsets, roses, dancing under the rain
Revisiting scenes of sunsets, roses, and dancing in the rain
All the people are far and it's warm in the dark
Reiteration of isolation from people and warmth in the dark
The silence won't call our name
Stressing the silence not calling their names
Moonlight over oceans
Reiteration of moonlight over oceans
Let's meet on the island halfway
Final repetition of the proposal to meet on the island halfway
Let's meet on the island ha...
Continuation of the invitation to meet on the island
Oh you say it's running, dancing under the rain
Acknowledging the experience of running and dancing in the rain
So you say it's running, dancing under the rain
Reiteration of the joy in running and dancing under the rain
