Reaching One
Eternal Longing: Wendy & Lisa's 'Reaching One' Unveiled
Lyrics
here we go again
Expressing a sense of repetition and familiarity with a recurring situation.
seems i'm off to rambling words i know of you again
Noticing a tendency to speak about someone in a somewhat aimless manner.
here we go again
Reiterating the feeling of going through a familiar cycle or pattern.
seems i'm back to looking forward at the end again
Returning to anticipating an outcome or resolution at the conclusion.
here it comes again
Encountering a situation that is unwanted but not desiring it to conclude.
it's like something i dont want but i dont want to end
Facing the dilemma of dealing with something undesired that is hard to let go.
so i face another day without you here
Confronting the challenges of facing a new day without the presence of a significant other.
finding comfort in the words i know of you again
Finding solace in familiar thoughts and memories of the person in question.
you see i go on and on and on and on and on
Expressing the continuous, unending nature of the emotional struggle.
counting backwards from one hundred
Engaging in a repetitive mental exercise of counting backward, possibly symbolizing a longing or waiting period.
like years you've been gone
Comparing the duration of time without the person to counting years.
never reaching one
Highlighting the inability to achieve a sense of completion or closure ("reaching one").
here i go again
Experiencing a repetition of speaking about someone with no clear direction or resolution.
seems i'm back to rambling words i know of you again
Returning to expressing thoughts and feelings about the person in question.
when i think that i've got something new to say
Reflecting on the challenge of coming up with something new to say about the person.
i remember it's the same thing i said yesterday
Realizing that new thoughts or expressions revert to the same as those in the past.
you see i go on and on and on and on and on
Reiterating the ongoing nature of the emotional struggle and mental exercise.
counting backwards from one hundred
Continuing the countdown, emphasizing the enduring nature of the separation.
like years you've been gone
Comparing the passage of time to the duration of the person's absence.
never reaching one...
Concluding with the idea of never achieving a resolution or closure ("never reaching one").
