The Library
jenny nuo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Been changing up my whole life to match your schedule
The universe is telling me to read between the lines
Guess I'll sign up to play your games, if only I had the time
Don't mean to judge a book by it's cover
But seems like we are made for each other
Tell me babe, are we lovers or friends?
And you're still the only book I can never read
Brace myself before this story ends
You wonder how you find it fair, we're in this strange affair
Let metaphors make up for what's not there
How hard is it to say that you like me?
Go 'head and blame it on the timing
Turn the page, don't remind me you're not there
Don't mean to judge a book by it's cover (don't mean to judge)
But seems like we are made for each other (for each other)
Tell me babe, are we lovers or friends? (are we lovers or friends?)
So I find myself in the library
And you're still the only book I can never read
Brace myself before this story ends
Before this story ends, before this story ends
Before this story ends, before this story ends
Before this story
Borrow you for a month or two or three until you're overdue
I'll gladly lose all of my quarters if it means I won't lose you
Borrow you for a month or two or three until you're overdue
I'll gladly lose all of my quarters if it means I won't lose you
Yeah (ah-ah)
Jenny Nuo's "The Library" is a heartfelt song about the confusion and uncertainty that arise when two people are unsure about whether they share a romantic or platonic connection. The lyrics are simple but relatable, with the singer admitting that she has been frequenting the café more often to fit into the other person's schedule. She acknowledges that the universe seems to be giving her signs to read between the lines, but she is torn between playing along with the games and finding the time for them.
The chorus is the most poignant part of the song, with the singer confessing that despite being in the library, surrounded by books that she can read, the other person remains the only one she cannot decipher. The conflicting emotions of wanting to be with someone but also fearing the end of the story are palpable throughout the song.
The song ends with the singer wishing to "borrow" the other person for a few months until they are overdue, indicating her desire to keep the other person close for as long as possible. The yearning and vulnerability in her voice are beautifully captured, leaving the listener with a sense of empathy and understanding.
