about

A final attempt at reconciliation, “I Still” lays all the issues out on the table for examination after some time apart to reflect. The spoken word emerges like a scattered stream-of-consciousness, enunciating the myriad sources of anxiety. Is the bond of love enough to keep the relationship intact, or are the fears and differences in value a force too strong to allow for compromise?

lyrics

My heart is on fire
To meet my desires
My thirst is alive
From the embers lit inside

I still, I still
I still, I still
I still, I still
I still, I still
I still, I still
I still, I still
I still, I still
Love you

Taking the time to let it all settle
We need some time ’til it all feels better
But please give me your mind so we can open up a little
‘Cause we’re holding onto questions that are looking for some answers
You know it’s been a minute since I held you
It’s been so long I almost forgot how it felt to
Look in your eyes, I realize I feel compelled to
Take your hand in mine, dear friend, I want to help you
Do you love yourself enough to love me? 

Do you have a reason to wake up in the morning?

Do you want me as a witness to your consciousness evolving,
Or will you let the fears into the circle we’ve been growing?

My heart is on fire
To meet my desires
My thirst is alive
From the embers lit inside

I still, I still
I still, I still
I still, I still
I still, I still
I still, I still
I still, I still
I still, I still
Love you

Taking the care to put our words out there
Why can’t you pull me closer in those moments when you’re so scared?
Why can’t I be someone to tuck you in my shoulder
While we talk about the things we want to do when we’re older?

You mean far more than a fling, but I don’t need a diamond ring
I just need something in between, though I don’t know what that means
I’m sorry that it’s confusing; nobody said that love was easy
But I can’t go on pretending that everything was nothing
‘Cause baby, when we’re at it, I know you feel the magic
And I use that as my compass to express a definite yes
I know he’s in my life still, and we don’t know if life will
Ever live up to this ideal, but please just know that I still

My heart is on fire
To meet my desires
(But please just know that I still)
My thirst is alive
From the embers lit inside
(But please just know that I still)

I still, I still
I still, I still
I still, I still
I still, I still
I still, I still
I still, I still
But please just know that I still
Love you
But please just know that I still
Love you
But please just know that I still
Love you
Love you
Love you
But please just know that I still
