Tennis
Love's Battle on the Tennis Court of Emotions
Lyrics
Didn't realize I had my mouth agape
Realization of having an open mouth
Yeah I lost control of my jawline
Losing control of facial expression or appearance
When you vandalized my blank slate
Feeling disrupted when someone alters one's clean slate or identity
Don't want you to paint me in a new light
Resistance to being portrayed differently by someone else
I bite my tongue when I ache
Suppressing speech when in pain or discomfort
To serve up a clash
Desire for confrontation or conflict
I know better now, oh
Learning from past experiences
Playing tennis makes a racket in my brain
Metaphorically linking the mental impact of playing tennis to a disturbance in thought
I'm a fool if I contest
Acknowledging foolishness if one resists or challenges
But I won't settle down, no
Refusing to settle or commit
Crane my neck to catch a glimpse before it fades
Striving to catch fleeting moments before they disappear
Took it for granted when I had the chances
Regretting not appreciating opportunities in the past
To lay down what I wished I could say
Missing chances to express thoughts or feelings
But now looking doesn't lend the same visions
Realizing that looking back doesn't evoke the same emotions or insights
I bite my tongue when I ache
Repeating the suppression of speech when in pain or discomfort
To serve up a clash
Expressing a desire for conflict or confrontation
I know better now, oh
Reiterating the learning from past experiences
Playing tennis makes a racket in my brain
Re-emphasizing the mental disturbance caused by playing tennis
I'm a fool if I contest
Reiterating the acknowledgment of foolishness if one resists or challenges
But I won't settle down, no
Reaffirming the refusal to settle or commit
Didn't realize I had my mouth agape
Reiteration of having an open mouth
Yeah I lost control of my jawline
Reiteration of losing control of facial expression or appearance
When you vandalized my blank slate
Reiteration of feeling disrupted when someone alters one's clean slate or identity
Don't want you to paint me in a new light
Reiteration of resistance to being portrayed differently by someone else
I could give up right now
Contemplating giving up in the absence of motivation
If I had the motivation
Considering surrendering if there were sufficient motivation
Yeah I could give up right now
Contemplating giving up with the condition of someone being patient
If you could be so patient
Expressing the need for patience from someone else to support the decision not to give up
I bite my tongue when I ache
Repeating the suppression of speech when in pain or discomfort
To serve up a clash
Expressing a desire for conflict or confrontation
I know better now, oh
Reiterating the learning from past experiences
Playing tennis makes a racket in my brain
Re-emphasizing the mental disturbance caused by playing tennis
I'm a fool if I contest
Reiterating the acknowledgment of foolishness if one resists or challenges
But I won't settle down, no
Reaffirming the refusal to settle or commit
