I Accept
Embracing Life's Challenges
Lyrics
Still snow on the ground
Acknowledging the presence of snow on the ground.
I accept
Embracing and coming to terms with the current situation.
My new truck broke down
Expressing acceptance despite a breakdown of a new truck.
I accept
Continuing to accept challenges and setbacks.
Ain't no jobs in town
Acceptance of a lack of employment opportunities in the town.
I accept
Resignation to the difficulty of making ends meet.
I can't make ends meet
Accepting financial struggles and hardships.
I accept
Embracing the difficulty of sleeping at night.
Nighttime I can't sleep
Acceptance of a restless nighttime state.
I accept
Acknowledging the presence of spiders in the sheets.
Spiders in the sheets
Acceptance of difficulties and challenges in a relationship.
I accept
Speculating that the inability to understand someone may be a personal issue.
Maybe it's just you that I don't get
Being shown the end of a relationship through celestial symbolism.
You showed me our ending in the stars
Recalling a moment when the partner conveyed the finality of their connection.
You poured me wine and said 'that's all we are'
Being reminded of the transient nature of the relationship.
Locusts in the corn
Acceptance of challenges symbolized by locusts in the corn.
I accept
Anticipating a storm on the following day and embracing it.
Morrow comes the storm
Recognizing that sorrow precedes the dawn.
I accept
Acceptance of the changing sky as a storm approaches.
Sorrow brings the dawn
Accepting the metaphorical rolling up of the sky like a scroll.
I accept
Acknowledging the inevitability of events, as foretold.
Sky rolls up
Reflecting on the cosmic revelation that might not have been understood.
I accept
Recalling a moment when the partner portrayed the speaker's essence.
Rolls up like a scroll
Describing the sky rolling up with a sense of inevitability.
I accept
Acceptance of the forewarning received.
Can't say we weren't told
Recognizing that the information was available but may not have been heeded.
I accept
Reiteration of the partner's role in revealing the impending end.
Maybe it's just you that I don't get
Speculating again that the lack of understanding is a personal limitation.
You showed me our ending in the stars
Recalling celestial imagery that marked the end of the relationship.
You poured me wine and said: that's all you are
Remembering a moment when the partner emphasized the transient nature of the connection.
There's still a shape in the grass where we lay
Describing a lingering impression of a shared moment in the grass.
I'll go back there, on the last day
Expressing the intention to revisit that place on the final day.
Yes I'll go back where we once slept
Affirming the decision to return to the place where they once shared intimacy.
You won't be there, but I accept
Acknowledging the absence of the partner but embracing it.
There's still a shape in the grass where we lay
Reiterating the lingering impression of a shared moment in the grass.
I'll go back there, on the last day
Reaffirming the intention to revisit that place on the final day.
Yes I'll go back where we once slept
Repeating the commitment to return to the place of past intimacy.
You won't be there, but I accept
Reaffirming acceptance of the partner's absence during the return.
You showed me our ending in the stars
Recalling celestial imagery that marked the end of the relationship (repeated).
You poured me wine and said: that's all you are
Remembering a moment when the partner emphasized the transient nature of the connection (repeated).
You showed me our ending in the stars
Recalling celestial imagery that marked the end of the relationship (repeated).
You poured me wine and said: that's all you are
Remembering a moment when the partner emphasized the transient nature of the connection (repeated).
I Accept
Final affirmation of acceptance despite the challenges and the end of the relationship.
