i need you.
Embracing Broken Worlds: Steven Shoelace's Poetic Need
Lyrics
Why did you fall asleep
Questioning why the person fell asleep
With an umbrella over your head
Noticing the person sleeping with an umbrella, suggesting vulnerability
I wont hurt you
Assuring the person that there is no intention to hurt
or start a storm
Commitment not to cause trouble or distress
Maybe it's nothing but i'll keep you warm
Expressing willingness to provide comfort, even if the issue seems insignificant
And i wanna give you the world but it broken
Desire to give the world despite acknowledging its brokenness
And the lightbulb told me that you don't want me to get so close
Noting a revelation from a lightbulb, suggesting a realization that closeness may not be desired
In the corner of my room you're humming out of tune
Observing the person humming out of tune in the corner of the room
I don't care
Repeated expression of not caring about imperfections as long as the person stays
I don't care
-I don't care
-As long as you stay here
Emphasizing the importance of the person's presence
Maybe i got the job to quit it
Suggesting uncertainty about a job and contemplating quitting
But i don't really know where to go from here
Expressing uncertainty about the future and feeling lost
Maybe you'll laugh cuz you think i'm funny yes please do that it's what i need
Desiring the person's laughter as a source of comfort and validation
And i wanna give you the world but it's broken
Reiterating the desire to give the world despite acknowledging its brokenness
The lightbulb told me so don't get close
Repeating the warning about getting too close based on the lightbulb's advice
In the corner of my room your humming is out of tune
Observing the person's out-of-tune humming, suggesting imperfections
But i don't care no i don't care no i don't care oh i don't care no i don't care oh i don't care
Repeating the assertion of not caring about imperfections and expressing a need for the person
I need you
Affirming the essential need for the person's presence
