Yearning for the Unattainable: A Tale of Lost Chances
Lyrics
5 foot 4 and platinum blonde
Describing the physical appearance of a person, 5 feet 4 inches tall with platinum blonde hair.
We had something going on
Acknowledging a past romantic relationship or connection.
But I was way too nonchalant
Expressing a lack of serious interest or concern in the past, possibly leading to a missed opportunity.
And now she’s out of reach and won’t respond
Regret over the person now being unattainable and unresponsive.
No I don’t get another chance
Emphasizing the absence of a second chance.
So sad, so sad
Conveying sadness about the situation.
You want what you can’t have
Highlighting the desire for things that are difficult or impossible to obtain.
And she’s so
Beginning to describe the person as unattainable.
Unattainable, unattainable
Continuation of describing the person as unattainable in a repeated and rhythmic manner.
Unattain-, she unattainable
-Unattain-attain-
-She -tain-attain she
-Unattainable, unattainable
-Unattain-, she unattainable
-Unattain-attain-
-She -tain-attain she
-Rare, she is so rare
Describing the person as rare, emphasizing uniqueness.
How’d I find her?
Expressing uncertainty about how the person was found and the intention to find someone similar.
Where, I don’t know where
-I’ll find someone like her
-No I don’t get another chance
Reiterating the absence of another chance.
So sad, so sad
Reiterating sadness about the situation.
You want what you can’t have
Repeating the desire for what is unattainable.
That’s too bad
Expressing resignation or disappointment about the situation.
’Cause she’s so
Repetition of the description of the person as unattainable in a rhythmic manner.
Unattainable, unattainable
-Unattain-, she unattainable
-Unattain-attain-
-She -tain-attain she
-Unattainable, unattainable
-Unattain-, she unattainable
-Unattain-attain-
-She -tain-attain she
Continuation of describing the person as unattainable.
No I don’t get another
Expressing regret for not realizing the value of the relationship and the possibility of someone else taking their place.
Oh no I don’t get another shot
-’Fore it’s lost you don’t realize what it is you got
-And now some other motherfucker’s gonna take my spot
-No I don’t get another chance
Reiterating the absence of another chance.
So sad, so sad
Repeating the sadness about the situation.
You want what you can’t have
Reiterating the desire for what is unattainable.
Unattainable, unattainable
Repetition of the description of the person as unattainable in a rhythmic manner.
Unattain-, she unattainable

-Unattain-, she unattainable
-Unattain-attain-
-She -tain-attain she
