Last To Know
Unrequited Longing: "Last To Know" by Crenshaw Pentecostal
Lyrics
I got a soul but my heart ain't gold
I possess a soul, but my character or essence is not inherently valuable or virtuous.
You would've know but you didn't wanna be told
You could have been aware, but you chose not to listen or accept the truth.
That I could be your boyfriend
Expressing a desire to be in a romantic relationship with the person addressed.
Do you ever think about me
Questioning if the person ever thinks about the speaker.
Am I even in your dreams
Wondering if the speaker occupies a place in the person's dreams or thoughts.
I wish I was your boyfriend
Reiterating the wish to be the person's boyfriend.
Why am I the last to know
Expressing confusion and disappointment at being the last to know about something important.
You always took it too slow
Highlighting a pattern of the person being slow to share important information.
Maybe on down the road
Suggesting a possibility of a future connection or relationship.
I wish I was your boyfriend
Reaffirming the desire to be the person's boyfriend.
Heard the things you said about him
Addressing comments or rumors about another person (him).
Drug him around like a broken limb
Describing mistreatment of the mentioned person, comparing it to dragging around a broken limb.
Quit calling him a boyfriend
Discouraging the use of the term "boyfriend" for the mentioned person.
I don't know the thing you see
Expressing lack of understanding about the person's perspective or feelings.
Too many late night apologies
Referencing numerous late-night apologies, suggesting a troubled relationship.
Quit calling him your boyfriend
Reiterating the discouragement of using the term "boyfriend" for the mentioned person.
Why am I the last to know
Repeating the theme of feeling left out or uninformed about important matters.
You always took it too slow
Reiterating the observation that the person is slow to share significant information.
Maybe on down the road
Suggesting a potential future development in the relationship.
I wish I was your boyfriend
Expressing the ongoing desire to be the person's boyfriend.
Things change in the blink of an eye
Acknowledging the unpredictability of life, emphasizing the transient nature of circumstances.
It may seem silly but I
Admitting that the desire may seem trivial or insignificant.
I wish I was your boyfriend
Reiterating the wish to be the person's boyfriend.
Why am I the last to know
Expressing frustration at consistently being the last to know important information.
You always took it too slow
Noting a repeated pattern of the person being slow in sharing significant details.
Maybe on down the road
Leaving open the possibility of a future connection or relationship.
I wish I was your boyfriend
Reaffirming the ongoing desire to be the person's boyfriend.
