Stuck in Limbo

This song emerged from a scribbled diary entry confessing unattainable love, yet still imagining all its possibilities. ‘Stuck in Limbo’ explores the tantalising space of a crush, with all the tenderness that romantic love brings, yet laced with the accompanying delusion that prevents our heart’s flight, as we promise ourselves, in vain, to move on and let go.
Stuck in Limbo
Maybe I’m mistaken, maybe there’s a line
Maybe there’s a way that we can gather and define
This love of mad proportion, impossible taboo
Or relegate the vision to a rare and heightened view
No, we’ll never speak of it.
It’s gone – like the moon after sunrise
And the only thing I’ll keep with me
Is the soft shine of your eyes
But that’s ridiculous!
Get me out of limbo, I’m going nowhere fast
Losing all sense of time, no future here, no past
My love is stuck in limbo.
No, we’ll never mention it.
It’s gone – like the sun in a total eclipse
And the only thing I’ll keep with me
Is the cool touch of your lips
But that’s ridiculous!
Just get me out of limbo, my heart’s split at the seams
Can’t stitch it back together, it’s all caught up in my dreams
My love is stuck is limbo
No, we’ll never speak of it.
It’s gone – like stars on a cloudy night
And the only thing I’ll keep with me
Is the way you held me tight
But that’s ridiculous!
Get me out of limbo, help me find the key
My heart is locked in limbo, trying to get free
My love is stuck in limbo
