Stay
Emotional Turmoil: A Reflection on Temporary Connections
Lyrics
Under my skin
Feeling deeply affected or influenced.
You pull me out, I breathe you in
Having a significant impact on me, and I absorb your presence.
Temporary, but even then
Lasting for a limited time, but even in that brevity.
You still feel like something more
Despite being temporary, you still evoke a sense of being something more.
And I know you can't stay that's okay if it's long enough
Acknowledging that you can't stay permanently, accepting it if the duration is sufficient.
I can't think straight
Unable to think clearly or logically.
When you hang above me
When you are present and exerting influence over me.
Turn the lights down low
Dimming the lights, creating a more intimate atmosphere.
We can't keep twisting in our significance
Avoiding constant twists and turns in our importance/significance.
Try forgiveness to color the difference
Suggesting forgiveness as a way to bring color to our differences.
And this is always the last time
Implying that this moment is always perceived as the final occurrence.
We'll see the sunrise peek through the window
Anticipating the sunrise and the end of the night.
When will we let go?
Pondering when we will release or move on.
So sick of being so replaceable
Fed up with being easily substituted or replaced.
You come, and you go
You arrive and depart, seemingly without significance.
As if it means nothing at all
Actions seem to lack meaning or importance.
Bury it, hidden in the sheets we'll be crawling back into
Concealing our emotions or problems within the sheets, returning to them later.
We can't keep twisting in our significance
Reiterating the need to avoid constant shifts in importance/significance.
Try forgiveness to color the difference
Suggesting forgiveness as a way to bring color to our differences (repeated).
And this is always the last time
Reiterating that this moment is always perceived as the final occurrence (repeated).
We'll see the sunrise peek through the window
Anticipating the sunrise and the end of the night (repeated).
When will we let go?
Pondering when we will release or move on (repeated).
I just can't fight you off
Expressing difficulty resisting or pushing away.
We've always belonged here
Affirming a sense of belonging together.
What have we become?
Reflecting on the transformation or deterioration of our connection.
It's not where I wanna be
Expressing discontent with the current situation and location.
The last thing we needed was just one good reason to stay
Suggesting that the last thing needed is a compelling reason to stay.
