For the Meantime
Unraveling the Complexities of Love's Choices
Lyrics
Won't you please stop telling me
Expression of a request to stop sharing information or opinions
I know you're not so blind to see
Acknowledging the other person's awareness despite appearances
That everything that was correct
Reflection on the change in what was considered right or true
Is wrong and I know that it ain't just me
Acknowledging a shared understanding that things have gone awry
But given half the chance to be near you
Expressing a desire for proximity despite potential negative outcomes
Would only make a start in a new decline
Acknowledging that getting closer might lead to a new set of problems
And if I gave my heart a convincing listen
Considering the heart's response to the situation
I'd be giving me a warning sign
Acknowledging the presence of warning signs in one's emotions
No form of apologies
Rejecting the idea of offering apologies as a solution
Would ever start to stitch the seam
Stating the ineffectiveness of apologies in repairing the situation
Now it ain't that hard to see
Emphasizing the clarity of the situation
That we were only cutting teeth dear
Reflecting on the early, challenging stages of a relationship
Would only make a start in a new decline
Reiteration of potential challenges in getting closer
A long way to go to get no where
Highlighting the difficulty of progress with no specific destination
But you can't put a price on a piece of mind
Stating the value of peace of mind as priceless
If I gave my heart a convincing listen
Revisiting the theme of listening to one's heart and its warnings
I'd be given me a warning sign so
Acknowledging the need for caution and self-awareness
For the last time, drop me a lifeline
Requesting a final opportunity for support or understanding
Days alone they roll into a week
Reflecting on the passing of time spent alone
I can't get away when you fall down at my feet
Feeling trapped or unable to escape a situation
And I'm happy with sweet memories
Finding contentment in positive memories
So why would I wanna go and make more history
Questioning the need to create more challenges or problems
So don't you say that it's gonna be
Rejecting the idea of a repeated chance or opportunity
Another chance that we won't repeat
Asserting that certain experiences should not be repeated
Did you think I would turn around
Questioning the expectation of a change in direction
Now you know that I know what a fool would believe
Expressing awareness of the foolishness in believing certain things
When given half a chance to be near you
Reiteration of the potential pitfalls of getting closer
Would only male a start in a new decline
Highlighting the cyclical nature of potential problems
And if I gave my heart a convincing listen
Revisiting the theme of listening to one's heart and its warnings
I'd be giving me a one way sign 'so'
Acknowledging a one-way path or decision
For the last time just drop me a lifeline
Reiterating the plea for a final chance or support
All the time that you put me on the back foot
Reflecting on feeling at a disadvantage or defensive
Why would I wanna go and make more history
Questioning the need to create more challenges or problems
