I Keep a Window Wide for You
Unveiling the Open Window: Embracing Uncertainty in Longing
Lyrics
When I think of you
When the singer thinks about the person addressed in the song.
When I don’t know what’s in store
When uncertain about what the future holds.
When I don’t know what to follow up
When facing uncertainty about the next steps to take.
Or what should be ignored
Uncertain about what should be given attention or overlooked.
When I don’t know, what it is I’m looking for
Experiencing a sense of searching without clarity on the object of the search.
When I don’t know what counts as looking anymore
Confusion about the criteria for recognizing what qualifies as looking.
Just in case you ever think I’ve closed the door
Addressing the possibility of being misunderstood or perceived as distant.
I keep a window wide for you
Expressing an open and welcoming attitude, keeping a metaphorical window open for the person.
Do I think of you?
Repeating the theme of thinking about the person addressed.
Do I make myself?
Questioning whether the singer is actively considering the person in question.
Is there anything to be gained by the distinction?
Pondering the value or significance of making distinctions in the current situation.
Am I just bored in this hotel?
Raising the possibility of boredom while in a hotel, suggesting a desire for change or stimulation.
Am I now another voice in the crowd?
Reflecting on the singer's identity in a crowd, questioning individuality and uniqueness.
I might go read that book you recommended to me now
Considering engaging with a book recommended by the person, indicating a willingness to connect through shared interests.
The hour is late, the lights are low, am i allowed
Describing the late hour and dim lights, questioning whether certain actions are permissible.
To keep a window wide for you?
Reiterating the commitment to keeping a metaphorical window open for the person despite uncertainties.
