Chosen Lyrics
It was the last weekend of September. I stayed up all night long waiting for the fire-ache in my heart to subside. It never happened. He was the most beautiful boy I’d ever seen, the most beautiful boy I’d ever met. My favorite books, around the clock, scars of my knee. I see him behind my lids in a bright gray shirt. I see him tripping, running, falling, covered with dirt. I see a lot of these things lately, I know. I know none of it is real.
It’s in the way that he moves
But I don’t want to choose
Another day and I’ll lose
But I don’t want to choose
Face to the ground
Change the sound
Time in your mind
Make it right
It’s in the way that he moves
But I don’t want to choose
Another day and I’ll lose
But I don’t want to choose
Face to the ground
Change the sound
Time in your mind
Make it right
(Baby, let me take you home)
It's in the way that he moves
(Baby, let me take you home)
But I don't want to choose
(Baby, let me take you home)
(Baby, let me take you home)
Another day and I'll lose
(Baby, let me take you home)
But I don’t want to choose
(Baby, let me take you home)
But I don’t want to choose
Another day and I’ll lose
But I don’t want to choose
Change the sound
Time in your mind
Make it right
But I don’t want to choose
Another day and I’ll lose
But I don’t want to choose
Change the sound
Time in your mind
Make it right
It's in the way that he moves
(Baby, let me take you home)
But I don't want to choose
(Baby, let me take you home)
Another day and I'll lose
(Baby, let me take you home)
But I don’t want to choose
(Baby, let me take you home)

Man, the intro to this song is so powerful. I love the beat, and it continues throughout the song. The addition of the french woman talking about a lost love invokes a bittersweet sadness to the song.
"It’s in the way that he moves But I don’t want to choose Another day and I’ll lose But I don’t want to choose"
Not wanting to choose, to make a conscious decision, even though you know you are just losing another day with the same feeling. It's so hard to let go of this feeling, such a strong feeling of love.
"Face to the ground Change the sound Time in your mind Make it right"
You have your head down. Listening to the music of your soul. It's time to move on from the lost love and make it right.
Ultimately, I think this song is about how hard it is to let go of love. I have listened to it time and again doing the exact same thing as the verse above.
I have experienced lost love because of my own faults. It's hard to let go.
Happy interpreting,
Eric
