Never Close Enough
Yearning Echoes: Embracing Love's Elusive Proximity
Lyrics
When you asked me if I'd love you
When questioned about my love, I wasn't uncertain.
I didn't mean I didn't know.
I knew my feelings but didn't express them explicitly.
I was out of mind, felt left behind.
I was emotionally disturbed and felt abandoned.
Nnow after time to consider
Now, with time to reflect, the answer would be 'yes'.
I guess the answer would be yes'
Confirming my love, but with a sense of detachment.
But anyways I'm nevertheless
Nevertheless, there is a lingering emotional distance.
I'm never close enough to you
I consistently feel emotionally distant from you.
However much I'm trying to,
Despite my efforts, I can't get close enough to you.
I'm ever hungry, near or far, oh sweet Antonia.
Expressing constant yearning for someone named Antonia.
All the things I'm gonna do
Listing things to do, but they lack enjoyment without Antonia.
Won't be as much fun without you
Anticipating less fun in activities without Antonia's presence.
Behave myself, degrade myself oh I
Contemplating self-discipline or degradation for love.
Just wanna be home.
Desiring to be at home, a place of comfort and belonging.
So to stop my addiction
Considering distancing to overcome emotional dependency.
It's good to not have you around
Acknowledging the benefit of not having the person around.
Or I forget myself and anything else.
Fearing losing oneself and forgetting priorities.
That's why I didn't say I love you'.
Explaining the hesitation in expressing love outright.
I didn't mean I didn't care.
Caring deeply but choosing to express it through absence.
I'd just rather miss you now
Preferring to miss someone now rather than in their presence.
Than when you're really there.
Highlighting the complexity of emotions when together.
I'm never close enoguht to you
Continuing to feel emotionally distant from the person.
However much I'm trying to,
Struggling to get close despite continuous efforts.
I'm ever hungry, near or far, oh sweet Antonia.
Expressing constant yearning for someone named Antonia.
All the things I'm gonna do
Listing things to do, but they lack enjoyment without Antonia.
Won't be as much fun without you
Anticipating less fun in activities without Antonia's presence.
Behave myself, degrade myself oh i
Contemplating self-discipline or degradation for love.
Just wanna be home.
Desiring to be at home, a place of comfort and belonging.
