Lucky Guy
Unrequited Bliss: A Tale of Silent Longing
Lyrics
It's been so long since I've met someone
Expressing a long time since meeting someone special
That makes me feel this way
Describing the unique impact the person has on the speaker
Makes me smile, and that's hard to do
Highlighting the joy and difficulty of making the speaker smile
I don't think it's something
Suggesting that the person's effect is not consciously realized
You realize you do
Reflecting on actions that may go unnoticed by the person
You make me feel like I'm the only guy
Feeling unique and special in the presence of the person
With you in the world
Emphasizing the exclusive connection with the person
But we can't be together
Acknowledging a barrier to being together
Can't really be friends we can't be lovers
Listing restrictions on the relationship
And we can't pretend
Stating the impossibility of pretending about their connection
Oh that boy in your life
Referring to a boy in the person's life
Better make you his wife
Advising the boy to make the person his wife
And he better believe he's a lucky guy
Highlighting the person's value and luckiness of the boy
You wanted a song well here's one for you
Addressing the desire to express feelings through a song
Nobody will know except for us two
Keeping the feelings between the speaker and the person
Don't ask me about it
Declining to reveal details when asked
Cuz I won't tell the truth
Emphasizing secrecy about the feelings
Just know that there's someone
Acknowledging someone thinking of the person
Thinking of you
Indicating the presence of a silent admirer
You make me feel
Expressing mixed emotions and the impact of the person
Something I wish wasn't real at all
Describing a feeling that the speaker wishes wasn't real
You were never mine to begin with
Acknowledging the lack of possession or claim on the person
So we can't be together
Reiterating the impossibility of being together
Can't really be friends we can't be lovers
Restating the limitations on the relationship
And we can't pretend
Emphasizing the inability to pretend about the connection
Oh that boy in your life
Referring again to the boy in the person's life
Better make you his wife
Reiterating the advice for the boy to make the person his wife
And he better believe he's a lucky guy
Emphasizing the luckiness of the boy in having the person
