Here we are, together
And everything between us is good
I'm right here in this cloud baby
Ready to fly but before I take
Another step
When you are in a new space with someone new, you can often be left trying to figure out what to do, where to begin, how to get things moving. Do things even need to move at all? The nerves kick in, there is a silence that ensues because the last thing you want is to continually chatter about nothing and ruin a potentially good conversation. What cloud are you in? Even if you are to find yourself there with someone, do you really want to be there? What will make you take that final step?
Would you catch me if I fall for you?
'Cause I'm falling
I'm falling, I'm falling
Has someone told you that they think they are falling in love with you? It's not something you probably hear every day and you probably don't even know how to take that in - especially if you've just met the person. How can they possibly love you when they absolutely nothing about you? All the have to go on is observations of you in some faraway time, lost in your own world, thinking about who knows what, going who knows where. Are you prepared to fall? What if we are just too stubborn and we are too unwilling to fall for anything - let alone recognize what it feels like when we fall in love?
I'm so used to standing
So used to being on my own
But this thing is new baby
It feels like I'm losing control
I'll take another step
The thing about 'new things' is that you don't know where to put it. There isn't really a nice neat little tidy place for it, because you need to start making space for it, to disrupt your usual routine. When you start giving up on taking chances and risks that the fainthearted would do, then there's something wrong with this picture. Why are we afraid to lose control? We think a lot about trying to keep on the right side of people, but for me, I guess it has more to do with the mismatch in dynamics when meeting a new person. You can never really tell if they're telling the truth because you're only just starting to get to know them.
Will you promise to be there?
Stay by my side always?
Whenever I need you
Don't let me down, no, no
Promises are hard to keep. Especially if you're in the habit of constantly breaking them. Have you pledged a promise to someone? Have they broken their promises to you? I don't know how to take people sometimes, because they seem to say one thing but do another. How do we ensure that we will always try to be there for each other? I guess that only comes with time and open communication. I would like to think that I don't let people down. I'm used to being on the receiving end of being let down. You quickly learn to be resilient and just take it on the chin. Just because you can, doesn't particularly mean that you enjoy it.
If I give you my all, don't let me fall
Would you do that for me?
Hold me?
Will you love, will you love me?
When was the last time you ever gave your all in anything? When you bought a lottery ticket? If someone admitted their feelings to you, would you be able to put your own feelings aside and just be supportive of their feelings. Maybe you don't know what to do with them? Probably because you don't know how to cope with it yourself, I mean, who tells people they love them the first time that they see them? I'm not saying it doesn't happen or that it's not normal. I'm just trying to process you sharing your feelings.
My heart is ready
For love and to be loved
And I chose you, baby
That's the one thing I'm sure of
So I will take this one last step
Sometimes we go to choose, but we choose too late and the moment passes us by. The thing about love is that sometimes it comes knocking on your door when you least expect it because you've shut that particular door. Instead, you try to steady yourself because even though your heart is ready, you're not ready to be loved. You need to start trusting yourself, that maybe in due course, you will see yourself the way everybody sees you - shiny. full of kindness and poised to accept what you have to offer. So maybe I will take this last step and just fall for you. . .
