Like a Child
Embracing Vulnerability: Love Like a Child with The Echoing Green
Lyrics
Infatuation is just a waste of time
Infatuation is not worth the time and effort.
All my temptations I can try to leave
I can attempt to leave behind all my temptations.
Behind
Move away from past temptations or influences.
But I'm nothing less than human
Despite efforts, I am still human.
Emotions keep returning
Emotions persist and come back.
My mind is willing but my heart is so weak
My intellect is willing, but my emotions are fragile.
And I can try with all my might
Despite trying hard, finding inner peace is challenging.
To find my peace of mind
Seeking tranquility within oneself.
Pure love is understanding
Real love involves understanding.
Push my pride aside
Putting aside ego and arrogance.
Pure love is so demanding
Genuine love requires significant effort.
I got the message
Received the communication or understanding.
I've learned my lesson
Learned from experiences.
Love like a child
Love with the innocence and purity of a child.
Borrow innocence for a while
Temporary embrace of innocence.
And I'll pretend that I've never been hurt
Pretending not to have experienced pain previously.
Before
Never felt hurt in this way before.
Never been hurt this way
(Reiteration of not having felt this kind of pain previously.)
I'm so afraid
Feeling fearful of rejection or disappointment.
Of being shot down and turned away
Fear of rejection and being turned away.
I'm nothing less than human
Acknowledging humanity despite flaws.
It's sad but true
Expressing sadness about a harsh reality.
I show the bruises of my tainted youth
Displaying scars from past experiences.
And I can try with all my might
Despite efforts, finding inner peace is difficult.
To find my peace of mind
Continuing the quest for tranquility within oneself.
Push my pride aside
Setting aside pride for genuine love.
Pure love is so demanding
Genuine love requires considerable effort.
I've got the message
Received the communication or understanding.
I've learned my lesson
Learned from experiences.
Love like a child
Love with the innocence and purity of a child.
Borrow innocence for a while
Temporarily embracing innocence.
And I'll pretend that I've never been hurt
Pretending not to have experienced pain previously.
Before
Never felt hurt in this way before.
Never been hurt this way
(Reiteration of not having felt this kind of pain previously.)
Love like a child
Love with the innocence and purity of a child.
Borrow innocence for a while
Temporarily embracing innocence.
And I will love like I've never loved before
Committing to love without holding back.
Love without restrain
Love without limitations.
