Don't You Ruin Everything
Preserving Dreams: Tess Clare's Plea for Love Amidst Turmoil
Lyrics
Disconnected phone call, feel the tension on the line
Feeling tension during a disconnected phone call, sensing a strain in communication.
I can't wrap my head 'round what you're thinking in your mind
Unable to comprehend the thoughts in the partner's mind.
Something's missing baby, and I'd wish you'd tell me why
Expressing a sense of something missing and a desire for the partner to communicate the reason.
You're pushing me away, do you wanna say goodbye
Perceiving the partner pushing away, questioning if they want to end the relationship.
Wanna say goodbye
Reiterating the desire for clarity and a mutual understanding before parting ways.
Don't you ruin everything that we have
Warning against jeopardizing the relationship and its positive aspects.
Made it work for so long, don't you step back
Emphasizing the effort invested in the relationship and discouraging a backward step.
We were teenage dreaming lovers who'd do anything to last
Reflecting on a past when the relationship was strong and both were committed.
Don't you ruin everything that we have
Repeating the plea to avoid ruining the existing connection between the partners.
Sitting in a cafe doing guided meditations
Describing the current state of trying to find peace through guided meditation.
Trying to slow my breathing 'cause I miss our conversations
Expressing a longing for meaningful conversations and the impact of their absence.
Assumptions creep inside me like creatures in the night
Noticing assumptions and doubts creeping in, possibly leading to insecurity.
I sing myself a lullaby and say it'll be alright
Using a lullaby as a metaphorical coping mechanism to reassure oneself.
And say it'll be alright
Repeating the self-assurance that everything will be okay despite challenges.
Don't you ruin everything that we have
Restating the plea to preserve the relationship and avoid destructive actions.
Made it work for so long, don't you step back
Emphasizing the duration of the successful relationship and discouraging regression.
We were teenage dreaming lovers who'd do anything to last
Recalling a time when both partners were committed dreamers, willing to endure anything.
Don't you ruin everything that we have
Reiterating the plea to protect the current state of the relationship.
All our birthdays
Mentioning significant shared moments like birthdays, long flights, and special trips to Paris.
Long flights
Highlighting the time invested in the relationship through various shared experiences.
Paris in July
Specifically mentioning a memorable event, Paris in July, as part of their shared history.
So many years
Reflecting on the many years spent together as a couple.
Of our lives
Expressing closeness to reaching a significant milestone in their relationship.
We were so close
Recalling a point when the relationship was close to a successful conclusion or goal.
To the finish line
Stressing the importance of preserving the current state of the relationship.
Don't you ruin everything that we have
Repeating the warning against jeopardizing the positive aspects of the relationship.
Made it work for so long, don't you step back
Acknowledging the sustained effort in making the relationship work and discouraging regression.
We were teenage dreaming lovers who'd do anything to last
Recalling a time when both partners were dedicated dreamers willing to endure challenges.
I thought we were teenage dreaming lovers who'd do anything to last
Expressing a belief in the enduring nature of their love, emphasizing commitment.
Don't you ruin everything that we have
Reiterating the plea to avoid actions that could harm the existing relationship.
Don't you ruin everything that we have
Final repetition of the plea to preserve the current state of the relationship.
