Wet
Base Lyrics

You are as reliable as a painting
You are steadfast and unwavering in your presence, like a painting that doesn't change.

In wave wet sand.
Just like a painting on wet sand, your reliable presence is also fleeting and temporary.

Look in your eyes and I can't see a thing,
Even though I try to read your eyes, I cannot deduce any emotions from it, leading me to believe that you are attracted to me.

That usually means attraction to me
Based on my previous experiences, such behavior usually indicates attraction towards me.

I've read all the books about love I could find,
I have attempted to enhance my knowledge about love by reading numerous books on the subject.

And I've found not one, no,
Unfortunately, even after all this research, I haven't come across any reference to my kind of love.

Not one word about mine,
All the books I've read about love has not addressed my unique experience of love.

'Cause you are reliable as a painting
You are as stable and dependable as a painting.

You're coming and you're going:
Like the ebbing and flowing of the water, your presence is never consistent.

Like the water you never end.
Similar to how water is always flowing and doesn't have an end, you too keep coming and going with no end in sight.

And I am just another piece of an island
I am only a small aspect of the larger picture of your life.

In reach for your hands
I am accessible and available to you, ready to be taken advantage of at any moment.

Feel my doubts when you are in my arms.
Even when we are together, I am plagued by doubts and uncertainty about our relationship.

Darling: If you know that it's love
My dear, if you are sure that what we have is love,

And not charm
and not just a fleeting attraction,

You must tell me so or go elsewhere to hunt.
You need to be honest about your feelings for me, or else we both need to move on.

Your love
The affection and devotion you have towards me.

I am just another piece of an island
In your grand scheme of things, I am just another small part of your life.

I can't close my ears when I hear that you call.
No matter how much I try to ignore you, I am unable to resist the pull of your affection and call for me.

I don't want to fear every tear that could fall
I don't want to be afraid of the emotional repercussions and pain that your love may bring me.

I'll go on my own, and pass people with doubts.
I will continue on my path without you, rejecting any other people who bring me uncertainty and doubts.

My goal is to find just a piece of your love.
My objective is to secure at least a small amount of the affection and care that you provide.

Your love is, your love is like the water
Your love resembles the constantly flowing water, a force that is constantly moving and changing.

You, you are my shore, and you know
You are the solid and stable force in my life, the one that grounds me even as I am tossed around like a ship in the waves.

You are my shore.
I rely on you as my foundation and the one constant in my ever-changing life.
