Unrequited from Unrequited by CRIS CAP

The opening track is a tune inspired mainly by the funky drums. Reiner Witzel contributed his flutes and some alto saxophone sparkle. The lyrics delve deeply into my personal experience of falling hopelessly in love with a girl who didn't return my feelings. Her kindness and words lit a fire in me during a difficult time in my life. Despite my efforts to win her over, I realized that my feelings would never be reciprocated. This song captures the essence of that emotional journey speaking in third person about another guy.

Lyrics

In a coffee shop he sees her there
Her words so kind he's lost in a stare
A fire ignites he feels alive
It’s too late his heart will surely break

He’s drawn to her like a moth to flame
He wants to touch her but he's so lame
Lost inside his mind's a mess
He wonders if she feels it or if he's just obsessed

Unrequited he’s falling fast
A foolish hope can't change the past
Chasing lust that may not last
Unrequited hoping it will pass

At the park they laugh and talk
Can't confess he's scared to walk
The line between love and desire
So blurred in his mind it's a raging fire

He’s drawn to her like a moth to flame (he wants her)
He wants to tell her but he can't explain
Trapped inside his mind's a mess
He wonders if she feels it or is it just a guess

Unrequited he’s falling fast
A foolish hope can't change the past
Chasing lust that may not last
Unrequited hoping it will pass

Unrequited he’s falling fast
A foolish hope can't change the past
Chasing dreams that will never last
Unrequited hoping it will pass

Unrequited
Unrequited

Unrequited it's a lonely road
He'll keep chasing ’til his heart explodes
Unrequited cause he can't let go
He'll keep chasing until she says
No!
