should i leave
Charvet David Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
J'ai ouvert la porte
J'ai touché ton foulard
J'ai joué quelques notes
Sur le piano blanc
au milieu du salon
J'avais pas la musique
t'as écrit la chanson
Avec que une letre n'était pas pour moi
je me suis dit peut-être
je la lirai ou pas
je l'ai lue, j'aurai pas dû je crois
faudrait jamais rentrer chez toi, sans toi
Should I leave, should I stay?
Should I come back another day?
what you want is not the same
We're just two different kids at play
We're just two different kids at play
J'aurai voulu te dire
Mais il est un peu tard
Que c'est dans tes sourires
Que j'oubliai le noir
Des flashé dans mes yeux
et des scènes dorées
Mais c'était pour nous deux
que moi, j'avais tout fait
Should I leave, should I stay?
Should I come back another day?
what you want is not the same
We're just two different kids at play
We're just two different kids at play
The lyrics to Charvet David's "Should I Leave" tell a story of a person who is struggling with a decision about whether to stay or go in a relationship. The first verse describes the person walking through the hallway, opening the door and touching their partner's scarf. They then play some notes on the white piano in the middle of the room without any music, but they credit their partner with writing the song. This verse suggests that the person feels a sense of loneliness and confusion in the relationship and is searching for reassurance from their partner.
In the second verse, the singer mentions reading a letter that was not meant for them, and realizing that they should never have come back home without their partner. They then ask the question, "Should I leave, should I stay? Should I come back another day?" showing their indecisiveness about the relationship. The song ends with the singer admitting that they wish they had told their partner earlier that it's in their smiles that they find happiness, and feeling regret about missed opportunities in the relationship.
The song seems to be giving a voice to the internal struggles and indecisiveness that people often experience when they are in a complicated relationship. It suggests that sometimes it's hard to know what to do, and that people might miss opportunities to express their feelings or make things right.
