Darling I want to make the word "love" new
cause it's been said so many times
And I don't want to use that old pick up line
And oft' I try to find the words to use but none capture the way I feel
When I gaze at your smile it seems like I'm out flying a sunset skyline
You've stolen my eyes, I stare at what I can't describe. I guess I tried

Look in my eyes. It's not hard to realize I'm the one who loves you
And though you'll never know my heart, my complete feelings
Just know you'll never be alone

Words keep cluttering in my mind as I persist in this futility
But no vocabulary could ever represent the beauty I see
You're everything and more than I could want you to be
And in your face what do I see?

It's like a rainbow in my mind, like when the daylight starts to die
Just like a landscape catching rain
or like a snow glazed mountain face
Like Charlie Chaplain, like clapping one hand,
my love can not be heard
And all those love songs, they come out all wrong
cause there's just no such word, my Annie

Look in my eyes.
It's not hard to realize I'm the one who loves you
And though you'll never know my heart, my full emotion
Just know you'll never be alone, my Annie

Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
