Really Up To You
Embracing Destiny: Navigating Love's Crossroads with Sue Larsen
Lyrics
Unpredictable and so unsure
Expressing feelings of unpredictability and uncertainty.
I'll take my chances with you walking out the door
Willing to take risks, even if it means the possibility of the other person leaving.
And if I had to do it all again
Open to repeating past experiences, suggesting a willingness to go through challenges again.
You know I would
Emphasizing the sincerity and commitment to the actions mentioned in line 3.
You know I would
-You know you'll have to make up your own mind
Encouraging the listener to make their own decisions.
And this takes much more than just being kind
Highlighting that the situation requires more than just kindness.
I hope I'll get the chance to prove
Expressing hope for an opportunity to prove authenticity.
That I'm for real
Asserting genuine intentions with no hidden agenda.
You've got nothing to lose
Assuring the other person that there's nothing to lose by giving it a chance.
They'll be times of indecision, don't you know
Acknowledging the presence of moments of uncertainty and decision-making.
When you know you've got to choose
-And all I'm trying to do is get to know you more
Expressing the desire to know the other person on a deeper level.
And that's really up to you
Stating that the decision to move forward lies with the listener.
Restless feelings, where do they go
Questioning the destination of restless feelings.
I often ask myself well what are they for
Pondering the purpose of these emotions.
Guess I'm stuck with wanting you
Accepting a longing for the other person.
What can I say
Expressing a refusal to accept misunderstanding or lack of empathy.
What can I do
-I will not have it, said that I
Asserting comprehension and empathy.
Don't understand or sympathize
Indicating personal experience in a similar situation.
You know I've been where you are now
Confirming empathy by claiming to have been in the listener's position.
It's hard to believe
Recognizing the difficulty of believing in the absence of deception.
There are no lies
Reassuring the truthfulness of statements.
They'll be times of indecision, don't you know
Reiterating the presence of moments requiring decisions.
When you know you've got to choose
-And all I'm trying to do is get to know you more
Re-emphasizing the intent to understand the other person.
And that's really up to you
Restating that the choice to proceed is in the listener's hands.
I've got to let this feeling go
Acknowledging the need to let go of certain emotions.
It's bound to drive me wild
Anticipating that suppressing these feelings may lead to internal turmoil.
If this is God's plan oh, let me know
Seeking clarity on whether current circumstances align with a higher plan.
I feel like such a child
Feeling vulnerable and inexperienced in the given situation.
You know you'll have to make up your own mind
Reiterating the importance of the listener's independent decision-making.
And this takes much more than just being kind
-I hope I'll get the chance to prove
Expressing the desire for an opportunity to demonstrate sincerity.
That I'm for real
Reassuring the listener that there is no risk in giving it a chance.
You've got nothing to lose
Emphasizing the absence of potential drawbacks.
They'll be times of indecision, don't you know
Highlighting the inevitability of facing moments of uncertainty.
When you know you've got to choose
-And all I'm trying to do is get to know you more
Reiterating the goal of understanding the other person on a deeper level.
And that's really up to you
Concluding that the decision to move forward is ultimately in the hands of the listener.
And that's really up to you
