Lover on the Run
Lover's Desert Journey: Embracing Love Against the Winds
Lyrics
Blow… a gentle desert breeze
Expressing the calming effect of a gentle desert breeze.
Lay me to rest right here with the sweet smell of tea
Desiring to be laid to rest with the comforting scent of tea.
Here… in this compartment I’m alone
Feeling isolated in a compartment.
I don’t understand a word ‘cause this talk's not my own
Struggling to understand a conversation in an unfamiliar language.
Fade… to the sound of this machine
Transitioning into sleep with the hum of a machine.
Voices making white noises lull me to sleep
Being soothed by indistinct voices creating white noise.
Sing… a Rajasthani lullaby
Requesting a lullaby from Rajasthan to be sung.
Got Jaisalmer in the rear-view mirror telling lies
Reflecting on deceptive memories of Jaisalmer in the rear-view mirror.
Woah… I don’t wanna love you
Expressing reluctance or resistance to falling in love.
But my heartbeat is keeping you here with me though I don’t want it to
Acknowledging the involuntary connection due to a heartbeat.
You know that I’m a lover on the run
Identifying oneself as a lover on the run.
Ain’t no distance far enough to undo what is done
Emphasizing the irreversible nature of past actions despite distance.
I’m yours
Reiterating possession and commitment to the person of affection.
I’m yours
-I’m yours
-Dreams… I’m begging not to fade away
Pleading for dreams not to fade away.
Hanging onto what I can of long lost yesterdays
Clutching onto fragments of distant memories.
I’m… not where I belong
Feeling displaced and not in one's rightful place.
I’ve been drifting like these dunes of sand, wandering far too long
Comparing personal experiences to drifting sand dunes, signifying aimlessness.
Woah… I don’t wanna love you
Reiterating the reluctance or resistance to falling in love.
But my heartbeat is keeping you here with me though I don’t want it to
Acknowledging the involuntary connection due to a heartbeat.
You know that I’m a lover on the run
Reaffirming oneself as a lover on the run.
Ain’t no distance far enough to undo what is done
Emphasizing the irreversible nature of past actions despite distance.
I’m yours
Reiterating possession and commitment to the person of affection.
I’m yours
-I’m yours
-Woah… I don’t wanna love you
Expressing reluctance or resistance to falling in love.
But my heartbeat is keeping you here with me though I don’t want it to
Acknowledging the involuntary connection due to a heartbeat.
You know, I’m a lover on the run
Identifying oneself as a lover on the run.
Ain’t no distance far enough to undo what is done
Emphasizing the irreversible nature of past actions despite distance.
I’m yours
Reiterating possession and commitment to the person of affection.
I’m yours
