Out of Reach
Yearning Echoes: Navigating the Emotion in 'Out of Reach' by Visual Cliff
Lyrics
Every Sunday you would pick me up at three
Recalling a routine where the person was picked up every Sunday at three.
The week was made much better by the fact that you'd be free
Expressing that the week was improved by the anticipation of the person being free.
And now I wait for your call all day
Waiting throughout the day for a call from the person.
Deciding if you want a call from me
Contemplating whether the person desires a call from the speaker.
I am
Assertion of the speaker's existence.
Reaching out to you, oh I am
Expressing the act of trying to establish a connection.
Reaching out to you
Reiteration of reaching out to the person.
Oh I wish I'd be fine
Wishing for emotional well-being without dependence on the relationship.
Without needing us to be and I'll
Commitment to moving on and leaving the relationship behind.
Leave this behind cause you're still so out of reach
Stating the ongoing emotional distance, emphasizing "out of reach."
Still so out of
Reiteration of the emotional distance or unavailability.
I can't pretend that I'm content
Admitting inability to pretend contentment in the current situation.
I just want you to be honest, because
Requesting honesty from the person.
I waited
Expressing patience in waiting for the person.
You made it
Highlighting the difficulty caused by the person's actions.
So hard for me
Reflecting on the challenging nature of the relationship.
And I am
Repeating the act of reaching out emotionally.
Reaching out to you, oh I am
Continuation of the emotional connection attempt.
Reaching out to you
Reiteration of reaching out emotionally to the person.
Oh I wish I'd be fine
Reiterating the desire for emotional well-being without dependence.
Without needing us to be and I'll
Commitment to moving on and leaving the emotional struggles behind.
Leave this behind cause you're still so out of reach
Emphasizing the ongoing emotional distance or unavailability.
Still so out of
Reiteration of the emotional unattainability or distance.
