Away
Embracing the Absence: A Melodic Journey of Love and Longing
Lyrics
Close both your eyes oh, baby
Encouragement to close one's eyes, possibly to rest or trust.
I'll be right next to you
Assurance of being present and nearby.
Wonder what is left to do
Uncertainty about what remains to be done.
Take all your time don't worry
Reassurance to take time without pressure.
I'll always wait for you
Commitment to waiting patiently.
Don't want to leave
Reluctance to depart.
Without you
Expressing the need for the person's presence.
Well you went away
Reference to the departure of the person.
Said for just one more day
Promise made by the person to return within a day.
But now that one day
Realization that the promised day feels longer.
Feels like two
Subjective experience of time passing slowly.
Your thoughts and your fears
Assurance of providing comfort and support for the person's thoughts and fears.
Darling I'll hold you near
Emphasis on closeness and emotional support.
There's no one else
Recognition of the person's uniqueness.
Just like you
Highlighting the absence of anyone comparable.
Well you went away
Reiteration of the person's departure.
Said for just one more day
Recalling the promise of a brief absence.
But now that one day
Sense that the promised short period feels prolonged.
Feels like two
Perception of time elongated from the initial promise.
Your thoughts and your fears
Reiteration of the commitment to support the person's thoughts and fears.
Darling I'll hold you near
Reassurance of providing proximity and comfort.
There's no other place
Emphasis on the uniqueness of the person's presence or character.
Just like you
Assertion of the unparalleled nature of the person.
