Love of My Life
Hits Lyrics

All my life I've been searching for something
I've been constantly seeking an elusive goal or purpose throughout my existence.

Something never comes never leads to nothing
No matter how much effort I invest, the object of my desire fails to materialize, leaving me with a sense of emptiness.

Nothing satisfies but I'm getting close
Although nothing has as yet fulfilled me, I sense I am getting nearer to discovering something that will.

Closer to the prize at the end of the rope
I am edging ever nearer to a goal that I desire with increasing urgency.

All night long I dream of the day
My longing for this objective is so intense that it occupies my thoughts even while I sleep.

When it comes around and it's taken away
If the goal presents itself but then vanishes before I can attain it, I am left feeling particularly distraught.

Leaves me with the feeling that I feel the most
This situation creates emotions in me that are particularly intense.

Feel it come to life when I see your ghost
My emotions are particularly aroused when memories of you are rekindled within me.

Calm down don't you resist
Please remain calm and do not try to fight against whatever is happening.

You've such a delicate wrist
Your physicality is particularly soft and sensitive.

And if I give it a twist
If I were to apply a sudden force or pressure to your wrist.

Something to hold when I lose my grip
I will grasp your wrist so as to better control myself in times of difficulty or instability.

Will I find something in there
Is it possible that by holding onto you, I will find what I am looking for?

To give me just what I need
Will you provide me with the thing, either materially or emotionally, that completes me?

Another reason to bleed
My longings and ambitions come with a cost, and I wonder if this is yet another way I will pay the price.

One by one hidden up my sleeve
I keep my goals and hopes secret, revealing them only as they are achieved.

Don't let it go to waste, I love it but I hate the taste
I treasure my objectives even though their attainment can be painful or costly, and I don't want to see them lost or abandoned.

Weight keepin' me down
I am burdened by a sense of gravity that pulls me away from my desires, holding me in place and thwarting my progress.

Will I find a believer
Is it possible that someone will share my vision, enabling me to pursue my goals with greater force and conviction?

Another one who believes
If I can find such a person, I will have one more ally in the pursuit of my objectives.

Another one to deceive
Alternatively, I may be able to mislead someone into following me without actually sharing my vision.

Over and over down on my knees
Despite setbacks and repeated failures, I will persist in my efforts to achieve my goals, humbling myself along the way.

If I get any closer
As I get nearer to my objective.

And if you open up wide
If you reveal yourself to me in a more complete way.

And if you let me inside
If you allow me to connect with you more deeply and intimately.

On and on I've got nothing to hide
No matter how long this process continues, I will be completely honest and transparent in my aims and motivations.

Then I'm done done on to the next one
Once my immediate goals have been achieved, I will move on to yet another set of objectives, never truly content or satisfied.
