The Healer
Healing Love's Paradox: A Song of Yearning and Limits
Lyrics
Right!
Expressing affirmation or agreement.
I'm sitting in your room tonite
Speaker is currently in someone's room.
I'm right here baby by your side
Speaker is physically close to the person, expressing support and companionship.
I wanna hold you by the hand
Desire to be physically close and emotionally connected.
And tell you girl only I undersand
Claiming to be the only one who truly understands the person.
I wanna heal you!
Expressing the desire to heal the person's emotional pain.
I wanna make it good!
Expressing the intention to make things better.
But I can't...
Admitting inability to fulfill the desire to heal.
For I can only make you worse
Claiming the ability to worsen the person's situation instead of improving it.
I step beside your bed all night
Physically present near the person's bed throughout the night.
I tell you everything's alright
Assuring the person that everything is alright.
If only you could feel my touch
Desiring physical connection through touch.
And hear me whisper that I love you so much
Expressing deep love through a whisper.
I wanna heal you...
Reiterating the desire to heal the person.
You think I am your saviour girl
Addressing the person's perception of the speaker as a savior figure.
You think I'm gonna be your man
Addressing the person's expectation of a romantic relationship.
But I ain't gonna save you baby
Rejecting the role of a savior despite the ability to fulfill it.
Although I'm pretty sure that I can
Acknowledging the capability to save but choosing not to.
