who you could be
Unveiling Potentials: Navigating Love's Cosmic Challenges in 'Who You Could Be'
Lyrics
At your parents for the day
Spending time at your parents' place for the day
You'll be 24 in May
Noting that you'll turn 24 in May
We've on and off a couple months
Describing an on-and-off relationship for a few months
And your mom set out the table-cloth
Noting the mother's gesture of setting the tablecloth
Talking Jesus over tea
Having a conversation about Jesus over tea
And she's staring right at me
Feeling the mother's gaze fixed on the speaker
Like I'm some sort of anti-Christ
Feeling judged by the mother as someone contrary to her beliefs
For teaching you there's more to life
Expressing the belief in a broader perspective on life than the current situation
Than being where you are
Implying the potential for growth beyond the present circumstances
But you don't know where to start
Feeling unsure where to begin in pursuing a different path
So I try to fix
Attempting to mend or improve things
The glue never sticks
Not achieving success in repairing the situation
I thought you could be anyone,
Believing in the potential of the person to be more than their current self
Anyone but this
Expressing disappointment in the current state compared to envisioned potential
Cause you're a supernova
Comparing the person to a supernova, symbolizing immense potential and brightness
And I wish that you could see
Wishing the person could realize their true potential
That the hardest part of loving you it seems
Highlighting the difficulty in loving someone for their potential rather than their current self
Is that I love who you could be
Expressing love for the envisioned, better version of the person
You've been working for a wage
Describing working for a wage, possibly in a routine job
You say "it's a little phase"
Considering their situation as a passing phase
That you're going through a reset
Asserting that this phase has persisted since they met
But it's been that way since we met
Expressing doubt about the possibility of change
I wish I didn't doubt
Hoping for a change in their mindset this time around
That maybe this you'll time you'll come around
Encouraging the person to see the potential in their future
See that your future is an open door
Feeling unable to influence or unlock the person's potential
But I can't unlock the key to yours
Committing to love them despite the situation
Cause I'll love you until the end
Expressing reluctance to go through a similar situation again
But I can't do this again
Reiterating the difficulty in making positive changes in the relationship
So why try to fix
Trying once more to mend the situation
The glue never sticks
Experiencing repeated failure in fixing things
I thought you could be anyone
Believing in the potential for the person to be different from their current state
anyone but this
Expressing disappointment in the current state compared to the anticipated potential
Cause you're a supernova
Comparing the person to a supernova, symbolizing immense potential and brightness
And I wish that you could see
Wishing the person could recognize their true potential
That the hardest part of loving you it seems
Highlighting the challenge of loving someone for their potential rather than their present self
Is that I love who you could be
Expressing love for the envisioned, better version of the person
