What Does It Mean

from Metrics of Affection by Bombadil

lyrics

What does it mean when you stay silent? Is that just shyness, or have you implied that It's the end of our life together? Baby, you were meant for me but Maybe I act differently from How you expected me to be What does it mean when you cry When I describe how your root beer eyes stab me with Little tiny knives of longing in my mind? It seems there could be two explanations: They could be joyful tears or they could employ your fears of Facing the shame of saying you'd rather he be here Well you came on to me so I went to you But if I knew then that I'd still be this into you Would I have been so unkind to you Taken your time from you? I don't think so I don't know but I don't think so What does it mean when you say “ok goodbye" After I say I love you one million times Into the phone line when each little chat has died? Why does it feel like you've got ice for arms? Oh yeah, it's cool girl, yeah I'm busy too, girl We'll touch base soon, sure, but I've really got a ton of work to do alone Baby we were meant to be but Maybe we are not the same as How you envisioned we would be And baby you mean everything to me but I have seen the reasons now and I think you should probably leave
