Perfect Match
Unrequited Love: Longing for Recognition
Lyrics
Waiting for the moment you say my name
Anticipation for the moment when the person addressed says the speaker's name.
My heart is growing fonder day by day
The speaker's affection for the person is growing stronger with each passing day.
You listen to me when I laugh or cry
Recognition of the listener's support during both joyful and sorrowful moments.
You always know how to give the best advice
Acknowledgment of the person's skill in providing valuable advice.
But I've been waiting for way too long
Expressing impatience after waiting for an extended period.
I'm in my head, you know nothing's going on
The speaker feels stuck in their thoughts with no progress.
My friends think we would be the perfect match
Friends believe the speaker and the person would make a perfect couple.
If only you noticed I was the perfect catch
Expressing a desire for the person to recognize the speaker's suitability.
My friend notices you smiling from across the room
A friend notices the person smiling at the speaker from across the room.
I didn't even notice you were doing it too
The speaker was unaware of the person reciprocating the smile.
You look into my eyes and I can feel the spark
Feeling a connection when the person looks into the speaker's eyes.
Oh why are my feelings hiding in the dark
Questioning why the speaker's emotions remain hidden.
But I've been waiting for way too long
Reiteration of the prolonged wait for a response.
I'm in my head, you know nothings going on
The speaker is caught up in their thoughts with no apparent progress.
My friends think we would be the perfect match
Friends continue to believe in the compatibility of the speaker and the person.
If only you noticed I was the perfect catch
Expressing the hope that the person will notice the speaker's suitability.
And day by day I started losing interest
The speaker is losing interest over time.
While you started giving in for the first time
The person is beginning to reciprocate for the first time.
And in the beginning I wasn't being too quick
Initially, the speaker was not hasty, but the person's response was slow.
But you were too slow
The speaker highlights the contrast in the pace of their actions.
Our time has ran out and we'll never know
Time has run out, and the outcome remains unknown.
And we'll never know
Emphasizing the uncertainty of the situation.
But I've been waiting for way too long
Repetition of the extended waiting period and mental stagnation.
I'm in my head, you know nothings going on
The speaker is still stuck in their thoughts with no visible progress.
But you've been waiting for way too long
Shift in perspective: the person has also been waiting for an extended period.
You're in your head
The person is also caught up in their thoughts with no apparent progress.
I know nothings going on
Confirmation that nothing is happening in either party's mind.
You watch as I am walking down the isle
The person witnesses the speaker walking down the aisle, possibly at a wedding.
You say I object
The person objects to the speaker's actions.
I look back
The speaker looks back at the objection but only waves and smiles.
And just wave and smile
Repetition of the speaker's wave and smile.
Smile
Emphasis on the act of smiling.
Smile
Repetition of the instruction to smile.
And just wave and smile
Repetition of waving and smiling.
Smile
Reiteration of the instruction to smile.
Smile
Repetition of waving and smiling.
And just wave and smile
Final repetition of waving and smiling, possibly indicating the speaker's positive response despite objections.
