Water's Gone Cold
Chasing Warmth: Will Joseph Cook's Melody of Love and Struggle
Lyrics
Just touch me, say it's all okay
Desire for reassurance and comfort, seeking affirmation that everything is fine.
Tell me something good about your day
Request to share positive aspects of the day, looking for a connection through shared experiences.
Spare me a lie if we can't get it right on our own
Preference for honesty even if the relationship is struggling, acknowledging challenges in communication.
Sit in smiles a still grip on us
A moment of happiness or contentment, despite underlying tension or issues.
I won't let you walk out in the cold
Commitment to prevent a loved one from facing difficulties alone, a protective stance.
I am not that easily swayed
Asserting resilience and independence, not easily influenced or persuaded.
So don't go, stay with me baby and wear clothes
Urgent plea for companionship and warmth, asking the partner to stay close emotionally and physically.
The waters gone cold but I can't get out
Recognition of emotional distance or a cooling off in the relationship.
Oh it's not right, when breathing is giving in
Expressing discomfort with the idea of giving up, suggesting a struggle with inner conflicts.
I wanna tell you I know what to think
Desire to communicate understanding and clarity in thoughts.
That I'm not balancing on every brink
Claiming stability and control, emphasizing the ability to handle challenges.
Find me the time we can love in a lie that we know
Yearning for a time when love coexisted with a known deception, possibly nostalgic or regretful.
It seems I'm useless at the best of times
Admission of feeling ineffective or inadequate during certain situations.
I can't find myself out in the cold
Sense of being lost or disconnected, struggling to find one's identity in difficult circumstances.
I am not that easily swayed
Reiteration of personal strength and resistance to external influences.
So don't go, stay with me baby and wear clothes
Repeating the plea for emotional closeness and warmth, emphasizing vulnerability.
The waters gone cold but I can't get out
Re-emphasis on the emotional distance and the difficulty in breaking free from it.
Oh its not right, when breathing is giving in
Reiteration of the internal struggle, linking it to the act of breathing and sustaining life.
I dont care if living my life like this is unfair
Acceptance of the unfairness of living a certain way, potentially acknowledging the difficulty of the relationship.
See I can't help feeling exposed
Feeling exposed and vulnerable, possibly due to emotional openness or honesty.
See and I'm trying to wake up but I can't
Struggling to wake up metaphorically, possibly referring to a difficulty in facing reality.
'Cause breathing is giving in
Connection between the act of breathing and giving in, suggesting a surrender or acceptance of circumstances.
