Like it or Not
Embracing the Inevitable: Love's Unpredictable Dance
Lyrics
You try so hard want so much
You put in significant effort and desire a lot
To be sure is good enough
Striving for certainty is satisfactory
You know it's crazy
Acknowledging the irrationality of the situation
How you want me after all
Expressing surprise at your desire for me despite difficulties
I know it's crazy how I want you after all
Acknowledging the paradox of my desire for you despite challenges
But I do
Reaffirming the emotional connection
I do
Repeating the affirmation of emotional connection
I'll be the flea on a dog
Symbolizing a small, persistent presence in your life
I'll be the ice cream dripping from your cone
Symbolizing a sweet and enjoyable presence in your life
I'll be the dark when you're all alone
Symbolizing companionship during difficult times
I'll be what's left when all is shown
Symbolizing enduring significance when everything is revealed
I will
Reiterating commitment to the stated roles
I will
-Maybe we pigeon hole ourselves
Reflecting on how we limit ourselves as we grow
When we're younger
Suggesting that self-imposed limitations occur in youth
Because it makes the world feel smaller
Explaining the perceived effect of self-imposed limits on the world
Try so hard don't want much
Reiterating the effort and desire, with a lower expectation
To have doubts is good enough
Accepting doubts as sufficient in the pursuit
I feel this way whether I like it or not
Expressing an inevitable emotional state, regardless of preference
I feel this way whether I like it or not
Reiterating the inevitability of the emotional state
