Story Behind the Song
The first half of the song addresses the singers absolute knowledge that she has found the one for her, and her frustration at the other's failure to see this...
The second half of the song addresses the frightening feeling of being in love, and those mo ments when you're suddenly struck with what it would feel like to lose it.Vp
Lyrics
It'd be nice to be the love of your life.
But I know what you're thinking-
she makes a good friend it would only end badly
And it would be sweet, to hold you here beside me
But I know what you're thinking-
there'd be no risk if we never kissed we just let it be.
But I have loved you from across this room.
And I will love you for a long time yet.
So please forgive me if I jump when you touch me
I know what you're thinking,
You're not thinking nothing,
You don't even get it.
You were meant for me and you do n't even get it.
Now alone is a bad place to be,
when all my words have left me for a pretty happy ending that's happenin' somewhere outside of me.
All alone, I will picture your face,
I'll dedicate my loss and calculate the cost of tellin' you just exactly what I need.
But I know what you're thinking-
There'd be no risk if we never kissed.
You don't even get it.
I remember my heart.
It was quiet, but it was mine.
Then it all fell apart,
the first time your lovely face caught my eye.
How do I love thee? Show me the way.
How do I want thee? Every minute of every day.
So put your hand in mine,
and walk to the end of time.
You were meant for me, you were meant to be mine.
If you left you'd be my Juliet and I would be your Romeo,
I'd be standing in the cold night air,
I'd be singing underneath your window.
Singing baby please, come back to me
Come back to me
You were meant for me, and you don't even get it.
