This Could Be Us
Love's Gamble: Chasing Dreams Amidst Hollywood Lights
Lyrics
Fast cars bright stars, Hollywood nights
Describing a glamorous lifestyle with fast cars, bright stars, and Hollywood nights.
Money like trees, I provide
Expressing wealth and abundance, suggesting the ability to provide for others.
But they don't mean anything if I ain't got you
Acknowledging material success but emphasizing the importance of a specific person.
And I thought I learned my lesson the last time I fell so hard
Reflecting on a past experience of falling in love deeply and the associated challenges.
But I can't quit it
Admitting difficulty moving on from a past love despite previous lessons.
And this time I could be the fool again
Acknowledging the possibility of being vulnerable and falling in love again.
Are we gonna lose or win
Pondering the uncertainty of the future, whether the relationship will succeed or fail.
I'm just saying
Expressing thoughts about the situation.
This could be us, but you're playing
Expressing the desire for a relationship, but the other person seems to be playing games.
Playing with my emotions
Noting the emotional toll of the other person's actions on the speaker.
This could be us, but you're needing your space
Expressing the idea that the relationship could progress, but the other person needs space.
This could be us
Repetition for emphasis on the possibility of the relationship.
This could be us
-This could be us
-This could be us
-When I was playing in the streets, it got empty
Recalling a time when life seemed unfulfilling, possibly before meeting the person.
Said I would never love, but you changed me
Acknowledging a positive change in the speaker's attitude towards love.
But Baby I'm different I swear I'm all in.
Declaring a commitment to the relationship and expressing sincerity.
So I'ma scroll your timeline and pictures
Stalking the other person's social media for insights into their life.
I wanna see you
Expressing a longing to see the person in real life.
Thinking of the time I'll have with you
Anticipating and daydreaming about future moments with the person.
So much time
Highlighting the abundance of time available for the relationship.
We could be famous,
Expressing the potential for fame but prioritizing the relationship.
We could be famous,
-But I just want us
Reiterating the desire for a committed relationship with the specific person.
but I just want this to be us
-This could be us, but you're playing
Repeating the frustration of the other person playing with emotions.
Playin with my emotions.
-This could be us
Reaffirming the desire for the relationship despite challenges.
When I can see the scenario in my head
Visualizing a positive scenario for the relationship in the speaker's mind.
And it makes me wanna say
Expressing the desire to vocalize feelings about the potential relationship.
This could be us
Repeating the hope and desire for the relationship to become a reality.
This could be us
-Why can't this be us
