If You Chose Me
A Symphony of Longing: If You Chose Me by Therese Curatolo
Lyrics
You keep my card on your windowsill
You have kept a physical reminder of me by placing my card on your windowsill.
In purple ink reads exactly how I feel
The message on the card, written in purple ink, accurately expresses my emotions.
I've listened to your voicemail
I have repeatedly listened to your voicemail.
So many times I have it memorized
I'm so familiar with your voicemail message that I've memorized it due to the frequency of my listens.
Your voice took on your smile
Your voice reflects your happiness or joy.
No we don't hold conversation
We lack substantial conversations.
When I walked into your kitchen
Upon entering your kitchen, our interaction did not involve much conversation.
You told me we could share
You suggested that we could share something.
Now I'm practicing my patience
I am trying to be patient in this situation.
But I don't think I will shake this
However, I doubt that I'll easily overcome or get rid of these feelings.
Before we go out there
Before we take any further steps in our relationship or situation.
What a world it would be
It would be an amazing world if things were different.
What a world it would be
Reiteration of the idea that the world would be wonderful if a specific choice were made.
If you chose me
Expressing the desire for you to choose me.
You called me over
You summoned or invited me.
Don't know what for
Uncertain about the reason for your call or invitation.
My melodies lay across your checkered floor
My music or presence decorates your floor.
And I hang on every word you say
I pay close attention to everything you say and find it significant.
And I'm getting better at not running away
I am improving at not escaping or avoiding situations.
Maybe I'm amazed
Feeling astonished or impressed by something.
Buzzing in my own delusion
Lost in my own unrealistic beliefs or thoughts.
Ever shameless in my affection
Unabashedly open and bold about my affection.
I'll rearrange your hair
Willing to make physical adjustments for you, symbolically representing my devotion.
No it won't reach resolution
Recognizing that our situation might not find a solution.
Cuz I live in fear of rejection
I'm afraid of being turned down or dismissed.
So I'll stay over here
So, I choose to remain in my current position, emotionally or physically distant.
What a world it would be
Reiteration of the idea that it would be an incredible world if things were different.
What a world it would be
Emphasizing again the potential beauty of a different choice being made.
What a world it would be
Continuing to highlight the beauty of an alternative possibility.
What a world it would be
Reiteration of the idea that it would be an incredible world if things were different.
If you chose me
Expressing the desire for you to choose me.
If you chose me
Reiterating the plea for you to choose me.
In purple ink reads exactly how I feel
Again highlighting the content of the message expressing my emotions in purple ink.
