In this evocative piece by Blood Orange, the lyrics delve into the complexities of unrequited love and the haunting presence of an idealized figure. The protagonist struggles with a deep emotional attachment to someone who perhaps remains oblivious to their feelings. The recurring refrain "But I don't want to choose" suggests a reluctance or inability to move on from these emotions, despite knowing that clinging to them might result in personal loss ("Another day and I'll lose"). This internal conflict is underscored by vivid imagery that captures moments of intimacy and vulnerability, painting a poignant picture of longing and the painful beauty of unfulfilled desire.
