How Can I Compete
Struggling to Secure Love: "How Can I Compete" - The Magic Gang
Lyrics
Exit out the same way you came
Leaving in the same manner as arrival
Exit out the same way you came
Reiteration of departing as one arrived
Leaving such a hole in the city
Departure causing a significant absence in the city
You'll be leaving such a hole in the city, when darling we're through
Highlighting the impact of the departure on the city
I'm staying the same place I do
Remaining in a familiar place
I'm staying the place I like to
Staying in a preferred location
Tryna' keep my place in the city
Striving to maintain a position in the city
Yeah, I'm trying to stay face in the city
Attempting to uphold one's reputation in the city
How can I compete, I don't want a contest
Questioning the need for competition
I just wanna' know that you will be in my arms
Desire for assurance of being together
And eventually, it's coming to a point
Recognizing a forthcoming conclusion
And I just wanna' know that you will be
Longing for assurance of presence
You're saying there's nothing I can do
Feeling helpless in the situation
I'm saying the things I'd like to
Expressing personal desires
Tryna' lose your place in the city
Struggling to detach from the city
Yeah, I'm tryna' save some face in the city
Striving to maintain dignity in the city
How can I compete, I don't want a contest
Questioning the need for competition (repeated)
I just wanna' know that you will be in my arms
Desire for assurance of being together (repeated)
And eventually, it's coming to a point
Recognizing a forthcoming conclusion (repeated)
And I just wanna' know that you will be
Longing for assurance of presence (repeated)
How can I compete, I don't want a contest
Questioning the need for competition (repeated)
I just wanna' know that you will be in my arms
Desire for assurance of being together (repeated)
And eventually, it's coming to a point
Recognizing a forthcoming conclusion (repeated)
And I just wanna' know that you will be
Longing for assurance of presence (repeated)
La la la la la
Non-verbal expression (la la la)
I just wanna' know that you will be
Reiteration of longing for assurance of presence
