Can I See You Tonight
Reckoning Hearts: A Plea for Love's Redemption
Lyrics
I don't know where to start now that we're fallen apart
I'm unsure how to begin after our breakup.
How can we talk heart to heart you're so far away what can I say
Expressing difficulty in having a meaningful conversation due to emotional distance.
I've tried to understand but things got so out of hand
Attempted to comprehend the situation, but it spiraled out of control.
Held out as long as I can now I'm on the telephone saying
Held on as long as possible, but now resorting to a phone call.
"Can I see you tonight?
Requesting to meet in person tonight.
Just think of the time that we're wasting
Reflecting on the time wasted by not being together.
Everything will be right
Expressing optimism that everything will be right if they reunite.
It could be love if we make it"
Emphasizing the potential for love if they can overcome their challenges.
Now that we're on the line I'll tell you what's on my mind
Sharing thoughts on the hidden love suffering due to excessive pride.
The love that we're trying to hide well, it's suffering from too much pride
Acknowledging that the love they share is affected by their pride.
When will we see the end to this game where nobody wins?
Questioning when the destructive relationship pattern will end.
'Cause as long as nobody gives in it will go on and on and on
Highlighting the continuous cycle as long as neither party compromises.
Can I see you tonight?
Reiterating the desire to meet tonight in person.
Just think of the time that we're wasting
Stressing the time wasted while they are apart.
Everything will be right
Optimistic view that everything will be right if they come together.
It could be love if we make it
Expressing the potential for love if they take the necessary steps.
Instead of breaking up
Suggesting an alternative to breaking up, proposing reconciliation.
Instead of breaking up
Repeating the suggestion for reconciliation.
Can I see you tonight?
Reiterating the request to meet in person tonight.
Just think of the time that we're wasting
Reemphasizing the time wasted during their separation.
Everything will be right
Reaffirming the belief that everything will be right if they reunite.
It could be love if we make it
Reiterating the potential for love if they overcome their challenges.
Can I see you tonight?
Again requesting to meet in person tonight.
Just think of the time that we're wasting
Stressing the time wasted while they are apart.
Baby, everything will be right
Endearingly assuring that everything will be right if they reunite.
It could be love if we make it
Reiterating the potential for love if they take the necessary steps.
