Coast Is Clear
Navigating Love's Turbulent Tides
Lyrics
I don't really see myself living here
I have doubts about continuing to reside in this place
cfter all the damage and the tears
After experiencing harm and sadness
I told you before stop reacting out of fear
I previously advised not to react based on fear
Then you turn things around when the coast is clear
You change your behavior when the situation is safe
We both knew we were moving too fast
We both acknowledge that our relationship was progressing too quickly
Burning so hot that it could not last
Burning passionately but unsustainable
cnd that's when the car ran out of gas
Car metaphorically runs out of fuel
We overstepped saying get a grip
We crossed a line, told to regain control
cnd those arguments that had overslept
Arguments that were ignored resurface
cll awoke to a world of shit
Wake up to a problematic situation
But you give up too easily
You give up too easily
cnd it's obvious
It's apparent
That it's fantasy
Recognizing that it's a fantasy
cnd I don't sleep
I don't sleep just to dream
Just to dream
Emphasizing the seriousness of the situation
cnd so its cross your heart
Commit to something with sincerity
cnd you hope to die and
Expressing a strong commitment
pins and needles
Feeling anxious and uncertain
cnd wicked lies
Facing deceitful statements
cnd you pull a gun
Metaphorically escalating conflicts
When I pull a knife
Intensifying the confrontation
Every time
Repetition of escalating conflicts
So I don't really see myself living here
Reiteration of uncertainty about residing in the current place
cfter all the damage and the tears
Repeating the aftermath of harm and tears
I told you before stop reacting out of fear
Emphasizing the need to avoid fear-based reactions
Then you turn things around when the coast is clear
Turning things around when it's safe
You're recovery
Recognition of recovery efforts
Blew me away
Impressed or surprised by the recovery
We got comfortable
Becoming complacent was a mistake
It was my mistake
Acknowledging a critical point in the relationship
That's when we dug our own graves
Consequences of our actions leading to a difficult situation
We were victims of the rumor mill
Becoming victims of gossip and speculation
Like kryptonite
Vulnerability to something harmful
With looks that kill
Attractive but dangerous
I'm still a casualty of your charm
Still affected by your charm
cnd so
And so
Sound the alarm
Alerting to a crisis
Cause I don't really see myself living here
Reiteration of doubts about staying in the current place
cfter all the damage and the tears
Repeating the aftermath of harm and tears
I told you before stop reacting out of fear
Reiterating the advice to avoid fear-based reactions
Then you turn things around when the coast is clear
Turning things around when it's safe
