Eternal Flame
Joan as Police Woman Lyrics

Yes
Joan expresses her desire to have a romantic companionship with someone.

I wanna have it
She wants to have this romantic companionship as soon as possible.

Yes yes
She reiterates her strong desire.

I wanna have you now
She specifically wants to have this person as her romantic partner.

But I can't be the lighter
However, she cannot be the one who initiates or ignites the passion in a romantic relationship.

I wanna go there
Joan wants to take this romantic partnership to the next level.

Yes yes
Again, she makes it clear that she really wants to do this.

I wanna show you how
She wants to take the lead in exploring and experiencing their romantic feelings together.

Just in case you never knew
Joan wants to clarify something important.

I can't be the lighter
She emphasizes once again that she cannot be the one to initiate the passion in a romantic relationship.

Of your eternal flame
She specifically means that she cannot be the one who lights your everlasting passion or commitment.

Oh! oceans, rivers, lakes
Joan is suggesting different locations where they can enjoy each other's company.

That we could swim as two
She wants them to enjoy a romantic swim together.

But I already own my
Despite the romantic desire, Joan has already found a sense of completeness within herself.

Own body of water
She already has her own sense of personal space that she has become comfortable with.

You'll follow me and
Joan believes that this person will follow her in this romantic journey.

Yes, yes
She reiterates her belief in this person's loyalty.

I'll follow you,
She is willing to follow this person's lead.

It's true
She is certain that this relationship will work.

But I'm already certain
Joan is already confident in what she wants and will not budge on that.

I've got good directions
Joan knows exactly what she wants and has a plan on how to get there.

I won't be becoming
Joan asserts that she will not change in order to suit this person's romantic desires.

I am the beginning
She knows that she is the starting point of her own romantic journey.

And I'm already done
This journey has already ended for her, as she has found her sense of completeness within herself.

These yes days,
She's reflecting on her past when she used to impulsively jump into relationships.

They've come and gone
Those days are no longer present, as she has grown out of that impulsive behavior.

Not always going to make
She's acknowledging that her past behavior was not the best.

The same mistakes
She doesn't want to repeat those mistakes again.

It's too simple, I saw the truth
Joan has come to the realization that she was overcomplicating things in her past relationships.

And truth is the terror of the one
The truth can be terrifying for someone who is not ready to face their past mistakes.

Who feels their lace can be stained
This person is afraid that their image of perfection can be ruined.

But I cannot stain your white lace, baby
Joan cannot ruin this person's perfect image because she is not the one who initiated their romantic relationship.

Even you cannot stain your white lace baby
She's also telling this person that they shouldn't be afraid of being imperfect.

No
Joan is setting a limit to the boundaries of her romantic relationship with this person.

I'll never go there
She will not engage in behaviors that are outside of her comfort zone.

No no
She emphatically repeats her decision.

I'll never take that route
She won't go down that path with her romantic partner.

'cause I won't be the fighter
She won't fight to save their romantic relationship if it falls apart.

Don't ever push me
Joan won't tolerate anyone pushing her beyond her comfort zone.

No, no
Her decision is final.

Don't ever make me shoot
She won't engage in behaviors that go against her sense of moral responsibility.

I won't be the fighter
She won't fight to save their romantic relationship if it falls apart.

Just in case you never knew
She repeats what she said earlier.

I won't be becoming
She reiterates that she won't change herself for the sake of a romantic relationship.

I am the beginning
Joan is confident in her own sense of self and will not let anyone change that.

And I'm already done
This romance journey is already over for her, as she has already found her sense of completeness within herself.

Just in case you never knew
She repeats again just in case this person was not listening.

I can't be the lighter
She emphasizes that she cannot be the one to initiate the passion in a romantic relationship.

Of your eternal flame
She means that she cannot be the one who lights your everlasting passion or commitment.
