If I Were a Bell
Echoes of Love: If I Were a Bell's Melodic Yearning
Lyrics
Ask me how do I feel,
Expressing a question about the emotional state
Now that we're cosy and clinging,
Describing the current close and intimate situation
Well sir, all I can say is
Indicating limited words to express feelings
If I were a bell I'd be ringing!
Imagining oneself as a bell ringing joyfully
From the moment we kissed goodnight,
Referring to the behavior after a romantic kiss
That's the way I just gotta behave,
Expressing a sense of obligation or compulsion
And if I were a lamp I'd light,
If the persona were a lamp, it would radiate light
Or if I were a banner I'd wave!
Imagining being a banner and waving proudly
Ask me how do I feel,
Inviting a question about the emotional state
Little me with my quiet upbringing,
Describing a modest and reserved upbringing
Well sir, all I can say is
Expressing limited words to convey feelings
If I were a gate I'd be swinging!
Imagining oneself as a swinging gate
And if I were a watch,
If the persona were a watch, it would start ticking
I'd start popping my spring,
Describing the anticipation and excitement
Oh, and if I were a bell
Continuing the metaphor of being a joyful bell
I'd go "Ding dong ding dong ding!".
Imagining the bell sound in response to happiness
Ask me how do I feel
Inviting a question about the current emotional state
From this chemistry lesson I'm learning,
Reflecting on a chemistry lesson learned from the relationship
Well sir, all I can say is
Expressing limited words to convey feelings
If I were a bridge I'd be burning!
Imagining oneself as a burning bridge, possibly signifying passion
Well, I knew my moral would crack
Acknowledging vulnerability and potential moral compromise
From the wonderful way you looked,
Describing the impact of the partner's appearance
Boy, if I were a duck I'd quack,
Imagining quacking like a duck, possibly in excitement
Or if I were a goose I'd be cooked!
Or, if a goose, expressing being overwhelmed or overheated
Ask me how do I feel
Inviting a question about the emotional state in the current context
Now that we're fondly caressing,
Describing a fond and affectionate caressing situation
And if I were a salad,
Introducing a playful metaphor of being a salad with splashing dressing
I know I'd be splashing my dressing!
Imagining the persona as a salad splashing with dressing
Or if I were a season,
If the persona were a season, it would be Spring, symbolizing renewal
I'd surely be Spring,
Continuing the metaphor of being a joyful bell
Yes, and if I were a bell,
Reiterating the joyful sound of the bell in a hypothetical scenario
Say, if I were a bell,
Emphasizing the joyful response as a bell in a hypothetical situation
If I were a bell
Repeating the imaginary scenario of being a bell with joyful ringing
I'd go "Ding dong ding dong ding!".
Concluding with the joyful sound of the bell
