pieces
Paperwhite Lyrics

Ah oh oh
Vocalization, expressing enthusiasm or excitement.

Did you know from the second you walked in, I wanted more
Indicating an intense desire for the person from the moment they arrived.

And in a minute I'll be losing all control
Feeling the imminent loss of self-control due to the overwhelming attraction to the person.

You keep me guessing, I'll keep you close
Implying a playful dynamic where the person keeps the artist on their toes while still staying close to them.

Time is ticking, and the current makes it hard to resist
Feeling the urgency of the situation and the pull towards the other person, as if it is a force of nature beyond their control.

It's un-natural, the way I am lost in this
Feeling that the intensity of the attraction is beyond what is normal or expected.

You asked to meet me and then you insist
Feeling somewhat perplexed by the other person's behavior, as if they first requested to meet and then demanded something more.

Can't you feel it streaming cross the pulse, it's magnetic
Sensing a physical or energetic pull towards the other person, like magnets attracting each other.

It pulls me forwards, begging me to fall
Feeling like the attraction is pulling them towards a potential risk or danger, but still feeling compelled to take the risk.

And if it's right, will these pieces fit together?!
Wondering if the artist and the other person are truly compatible and can come together in a meaningful way.

Will you and I collide into each other?!
Expecting a powerful and intense connection if the singer and the other person do indeed come together.

Earth's still shaking
Suggesting that the attraction is so intense that it has caused a physical reaction in the artist's body.

I have never crossed the line like this before
Implying that the singer is venturing into new territory with the other person and feeling somewhat unsure about it.

Yet I won't waver as I walk across the floor
Despite feeling uncertain about the situation, the singer is still determined to see it through and not back down.

You were waiting, and I am lost
Feeling a sense of direction from the other person, but also feeling unsure about where things are headed.

Uuuh, tell me / Uuuh, show me
Expressing a desire for more clarity and communication from the other person, whether that is through words or actions.

Uuh, tell me tonight you're still waiting? / Uuh, tell me? (You need me boy) / Uuh, show me all that I'm forgetting / Uuh, show me who you are. / Uuh, tell me all that?? / Uuh, tell me you and I would / Uuh, show me there's nothing to afraid / Uuh, show me!
Repeating the desire for more communication and clarity from the other person in various ways.

And if it's right, will these pieces fit together?! / That you and I collide into each other?!
Repeating the central question and hope for the relationship to come together in a meaningful way.

Uuuh, tell me / Uuuh, tell me / Uuuh, show me / Uuuh, show me
Repeating the desire for more communication and clarity from the other person in various ways, indicating the importance of clear communication in relationship building.
