Hasn't Happened Yet
Unfulfilled Wishes: Common Man's Yearning in 'Hasn't Happened Yet'
Lyrics
I wish that I could tell her everything
I desire to share all my thoughts and feelings with her.
I'm saving up to buy a diamond ring
I'm saving money to purchase an engagement ring.
And wishing on a wedding in the spring
I hope for a wedding in the spring and am expressing this through wishes.
But it hasn't happened yet
Despite my wishes, the desired events haven't occurred yet.
It hasn't happened yet
Reiteration of the fact that the anticipated events are yet to happen.
I wish that I could hold her body near
I desire physical closeness with her.
I wish that I could make my feelings clear
I wish to express my feelings clearly to her.
Quit calculating love and shed a tear
Expressing a desire to let go of analytical thinking and show genuine emotion.
But it hasn't happened yet
Despite the desire for emotional expression, it hasn't happened yet.
It hasn't happened yet
Reiteration of the fact that the desired emotional expression is yet to happen.
It hasn't happened yet
Emphasizing the delay in the realization of desires.
Jesus cried when he found out his friend was dead
Referencing a moment of sorrow, likening it to Jesus crying for a departed friend.
It hasn't happened yet
Despite the sorrowful events, the anticipated changes haven't occurred.
I wish to lay the devil in the dirt
Expressing a desire to overcome negative influences or experiences.
I wish I wasn't cynical and hurt
Expressing a wish to be free from cynicism and emotional pain.
I wish my prayer of faith would finally work
Expressing hope for a positive outcome to prayers of faith.
But it hasn't happened yet
Despite the desires for positive changes, they haven't happened yet.
It hasn't happened yet
Reiteration of the fact that the anticipated positive changes are yet to happen.
It hasn't happened yet
Emphasizing the ongoing delay in the realization of positive changes.
Jesus cried when he found out his friend was dead
Referencing a moment of sorrow, similar to Jesus mourning for a departed friend.
It hasn't happened yet
Despite the sorrowful events, the anticipated positive changes haven't occurred.
I'm wishing on a world that isn't
Expressing a wish for a better world, tempered by the acknowledgment of God's capabilities.
Too big for a God who isn't good enough to make it all okay
Acknowledging the enormity of the world but expressing faith in God's ability to make things right.
Oh no, I'm wishing on a weight of glory
Expressing a desire for a glorious transformation that exceeds personal capacity.
More than I can bear to come and break the sky and blow it all away
Desiring a powerful intervention to change the current situation dramatically.
Either way, it hasn't happened yet
Regardless of the outcome, the desired intervention hasn't happened yet.
It hasn't happened yet
Emphasizing the ongoing delay in the realization of the desired powerful intervention.
Jesus cried when he found out his friend was dead
Referencing a moment of sorrow, likening it to Jesus crying for a departed friend.
It hasn't happened yet
Despite the sorrowful events, the anticipated powerful intervention hasn't occurred.
