Sometimes I forget how profound lyrics play in discovering the realness of your heart.
Tracing perfectly describes a somewhat unreal connection between two strangers that are trying to trace over the lines of a beautiful relationship.
"I found I never learned your number, I only stored it in my phone,You'd think by now,I'd know the shape of calling home."Now that is some powerful shit. "The shape of calling home" is a big deal to me. These days it's so rare to be able to dial someone's number with your eyes closed. And when you're in love with someone, it's like they
are your home... how could you ever forget that?
"There is a reason strong moves slow."Strong relationships are built up over time; you can't just blitz through all of the necessary stages in a new relationship by copying past relationships. I think tracing goes along with that. It's the difference between drawing a picture and tracing a picture. If it was real, they would be "drawing" their own relationship. Instead they are "tracing" over the lines of the relationship they once were a part of... or want to be in.
"But when we trace,You'll always see the bottom line."No matter how well they "trace" it, their relationship will never be what they really want. They're always going to see the lines they are tracing over and those will always look better than what they've got.
I hope you see that's all you've been doing with her.
