Sarah
Yearning for Tomorrow: Unveiling Life's Better Way
Lyrics
VERSE 1:
Introduction to the first verse.
You know it's not the only answer,
Acknowledging there are multiple answers, but the desire to take a chance persists.
But still you wanna take that chance,
Expressing the willingness to take risks despite alternative solutions.
Your eyes cannot see further than today.
Highlighting a limited perspective, unable to see beyond the present.
Step back, take a good look at your life
Encouraging self-reflection and assessment of one's life.
See what you can do to make it right,
Encouraging positive actions to correct one's life situation.
There's gotta be a better way.
Expressing the belief in the existence of a better way of living.
PRE-CHORUS:
Transition to the pre-chorus.
Woo-ooo-ooo
Repetition of the idea that there are multiple answers, and expressing the need for communication and presence.
(You know it's not the only answer)
-Woo-ooo-ooo
-(The least you could have done was tell me)
-Woo-ooo-ooo
-(I need you here)
-CHORUS:
Introduction to the chorus.
There are the words that I would say to you if you were here with me,
Expressing unspoken words meant for someone who is absent.
See I know things about you the world will never see,
Claiming to know intimate details about the person that the world is unaware of.
I wanna tell you that I love you, I miss you everyday
Declaring love and daily yearning for someone named Sarah.
Sarah come back to me now, and take this pain away
Pleading for Sarah's return to alleviate the pain.
VERSE 2:
Transition to the second verse.
You keep it all deep inside,
Highlighting internalization of emotions.
But what's the point trying to hide
Questioning the purpose of hiding feelings.
The fact you feel your life cannot go on?
Expressing a feeling of life being unbearable.
When you felt down and depressed
Encouraging expression of emotions during times of distress.
You should have got it off your chest
Expressing regret for not sharing feelings earlier.
The world is sorry now you're gone
Expressing sorrow for the impact of the person's absence on the world.
BRIDGE:
Transition to the bridge.
Why did this have to be black or white?
Questioning the binary nature of a situation, suggesting shades of gray.
Somewhere in between we could have made it right
Suggesting a missed opportunity for resolution.
There was something that set you apart
Noting a distinctive quality that made the person stand out.
My first love; my first broken heart
Reflecting on the impact of a significant relationship and its enduring pain.
That will never heal, and I'm wrong
Acknowledging the perpetual wound caused by a first broken heart.
If I think I can do you justice with just one song
Concluding that one song cannot do justice to the complexity of emotions.
