Lyrics
A million and one thousand things are screaming in my head
A multitude of thoughts are overwhelming my mind.
And I can’t seem to forget, can’t stop thinking about you
I am unable to forget and continuously think about you.
I could ride across the sky in a bicycle built for two
Expressing a desire to share a romantic experience, symbolized by riding a bicycle built for two across the sky.
Could you teach me how to ride, like you taught me how to feel alive?
Requesting guidance in learning how to navigate life, paralleling the previous sentiment of learning to feel alive.
And not a single day goes by when I don’t wish for you
Every day, the longing for your presence persists.
To watch me pause to find the words to steal your heart away
Desiring attention and affection, hoping to captivate your heart with words.
But I’ll play every word back round and round to try and find
Reviewing and replaying every uttered word in an attempt to find confirmation of mutual feelings.
A clue you might have left behind to say you feel the same
Searching for any subtle signs you may have left behind indicating reciprocated emotions.
And even if I know
Even if the realization exists,
I’ll never be your Leo
A reference to "Leo," suggesting acceptance that a romantic connection similar to that of Leonardo DiCaprio may never occur.
I’ll keep holding on
Despite challenges, persisting in holding on emotionally.
A hundred and three thousand ghosts are laughing in my dreams
An overwhelming number of memories haunt dreams.
My eyes are failing me, everywhere I look I see you
Visualizing the presence of the person everywhere, experiencing difficulty moving on.
I could bake a chocolate cake for you with tiers up to the moon
Expressing willingness to make grand gestures, like baking a towering chocolate cake, to win affection.
Could you show me how it’s done, like you showed me how to fall in love?
Seeking guidance in matters of the heart, similar to learning how to fall in love.
You’ll never see that I’m the one who never left you
Feeling unnoticed as the reliable presence who never abandoned you during tough times.
When you needed me to cry to ‘cos your heart got broke again
Recalling moments of emotional support and being available to comfort during heartbreaks.
So I’ll play until the strings on my guitar give out,
Persisting in playing music until physical strain, symbolizing commitment to an emotional facade.
And I’ll be aching from the pain of trying to pretend
Experiencing emotional pain while pretending to be unaffected.
And even if I know
Despite the acknowledgement,
I’ll never be your Leo
Acceptance that achieving a romantic ideal like Leonardo DiCaprio is unlikely.
I’ll keep holding on
Determined commitment to continue holding on emotionally.
