Back Down On Earth
Navigating Love's Descent: Yellow Magnolia's Melodic Reflection
Lyrics
And If you were to get up and leave me
If you were to leave me
Walk right out, and then what?
Questioning the consequences of your departure
Where would you go?
Asking where you would go
If you could, could you tell me this one thing
Requesting information about a crucial matter
How do I change so I don't end up alone?
Expressing concern about avoiding loneliness
Back down on Earth
Returning to reality
Waiting for her
Anticipation for a significant person
To light up my sky
Desiring the person to bring light into life
Patience only
Highlighting the role of patience in happiness
Keeps you happy
The limited sustenance of patience
For so long
Reflecting on the endurance of happiness
Stripped of joy, and you made it look easy
Acknowledging the ease with which joy was taken away
But out of all the girls that I've seen go
Recalling the departure of various girls
Yours hurt the most
Emphasizing the pain caused by the listener's departure
Unsure what color you may paint me in
Expressing uncertainty about how one is perceived
But if I had to picture you
Imagining the subject in various ways
I'd need 'em all
Requiring a multitude of perspectives to picture the subject
And more
Emphasizing the complexity of understanding the subject
Back down on earth
Returning to reality again
Waiting for her
Anticipation for the significant person persists
To light up my sky
Desire for the person to bring light remains
Patience only
Patience highlighted once more
Keeps you happy
Emphasizing the temporary nature of patience
For so long
Reflecting on the duration of happiness
So, so long
Signifying a prolonged period of time
So, so long
Repetition, emphasizing an extended duration
So, so long
Continuation of the prolonged period
