I Don't Need A Lover
Emotional Echoes: Will Young's Poetic Reflections on Love and Loss
Lyrics
Hours fade I take my time
Reflecting on the passage of time, taking it slowly.
Lick my wounds and drink my wine
Healing from emotional wounds and finding solace in wine.
My heart stopped when you walked in
Experiencing a moment of awe or shock when the person entered.
You took my breath but let me live
Feeling overwhelmed but grateful for the chance to continue living.
Everybody's got an answer
Observing that everyone seems to have a solution or opinion.
Dancing to a song we never asked them to play
People engaging in activities they didn't choose, perhaps influenced by external factors.
I don't need a lover
Expressing independence, stating that a romantic partner is not necessary.
Don't need another heartache to forgive and forget
Avoiding additional pain and the need to forgive and forget.
A feeling like no other
Describing a unique and intense emotion.
Haunts me when I see you loving somebody else
Feeling haunted when witnessing the person loving someone else.
I don't need a lover
Reiterating the lack of need for a romantic partner.
Don't need another heartache to forgive and forget
Avoiding additional heartache and the process of forgiveness.
Don't need another lover
Emphasizing the lack of desire for another romantic involvement.
Our first touch straight to my spine
Describing the impact of the first physical contact.
Hits me hard when you pass by
Being deeply affected when the person passes by.
Never fails to draw me in
Consistently drawn in by the person's presence.
Like throwing sand against the wind
Comparing attraction to throwing sand against the wind, suggesting difficulty.
Everybody's got an answer
Noticing that people provide answers even without being asked.
Dancing to a song we never asked them to play
People engaging in activities they didn't choose, perhaps influenced by external factors (repeated).
