If I Told
Moonlit Confessions: Courtney Marie Andrews' Intimate Reflections
Lyrics
It's a full moon, L.A.
Refers to the setting in Los Angeles during a full moon.
and we're alone for the first time
Expresses being alone together for the first time.
on Venice Beach, under the palm trees
Specifically on Venice Beach, among palm trees.
Tell me your dreams and I'll tell you mine
Inviting the sharing of dreams between individuals.
What would you say, if I told you,
Poses a hypothetical situation of revealing deep feelings.
you're my last thought at the end of each night?
Highlighting the significance of the person as the last thought before sleep.
Would you believe me
Asking whether the listener would believe such sentiments.
or would you even reply?
Questioning the potential response or lack thereof.
Would You?
Reiteration of the question posed earlier.
I am a loner, I am stubborn
Self-identification as someone who enjoys solitude and is determined.
Can you handle this world I live in?
Asking if the listener can cope with the singer's lifestyle.
I know I can't change, but for you I'd compromise
Admitting a willingness to compromise for the person they care for.
I'd be on your side, if you'd be on mine
Expressing a desire for mutual support and solidarity.
Yes, you're anxious and you're stubborn too
Acknowledging the listener's anxieties and stubbornness.
but I'd learn to love the worst parts of you
Expressing a commitment to accepting and loving all aspects of the listener.
Could be the full moon or this cheap wine
Suggesting that external factors might influence emotions or hopes.
but I'm hoping that you'll reply
Expressing hope for a response from the listener.
Would You?
Reiteration of the question regarding belief or response.
Is it in the stars? Or some age-old truth?
Questioning fate or destiny in the connection between the individuals.
Why did the universe draw me to you?
Pondering the reason behind the strong attraction to the listener.
You're so magnetic, I am hypnotized
Describing the listener's captivating and compelling nature.
Feels like I've known you since before this life
Suggesting a profound, almost timeless connection with the listener.
I hope I always see you this way
Expressing a desire to maintain a certain perception of the listener.
Here's to wondering if you feel the same
Expressing curiosity about the listener's feelings toward the singer.
But I can tell when your eyes meet mine,
Noticing the truth conveyed through eye contact.
that the truth is in your reply
Implying the sincerity of the listener's feelings based on their gaze.
You do
Reaffirmation of the listener's acknowledgment or agreement.
