Missed Moments and Neon Dreams: Hannah Richardson's 'Coulda Been' Story
Lyrics
You missed a real good time
You missed a great time
The food was so sublime
The food was excellent
And we danced to all your favorite tunes
We danced to your favorite tunes
Oh, you were out with her
You were out with someone else
Your night was such a blur
Your night was a blur
Well I'm sorry you couldn't be there too, ooh
Expressing regret for your absence
You coulda seen me in my black dress in the dark
Describing herself in a black dress in the dark
You coulda seen me and it would've struck a spark
Expressing a missed connection
For you to want me like I want you
Wishing for mutual desire
You woulda seen it too
Highlighting the potential connection
If you walked in the room to those
Imagining the atmosphere with neon lights
Neon lights
Describing a vivid, colorful night
A technicolor night
Creating an atmospheric setting
Woulda walked across the room
Reflecting on a missed opportunity
That coulda been me and you
Envisioning an alternate reality
Woulda wanted me right there
Expressing physical closeness
Your fingers in my hair
Describing intimate moments
We woulda been making moves
Imagining a passionate relationship
That coulda been me and you
Reiterating the potential relationship
Me and you
Repeating the desire for a connection
Coulda been me and you
-Coulda been me and you
-Coulda been me and you
-Coulda been me and you
-Coulda been me and you
-Coulda been me and you
-Coulda been me and you
-Coulda been me and you
-You're so insufferable
Expressing frustration with the person
Oh, you just mention her I nod
Agreeing with the mention of someone else
And wish that I had a drink
Desiring a drink in the awkward situation
I'm sure she's cherry pie
Imagining the qualities of the other person
Got green tea in her eyes
-That you drown in
-While I watch you sink, ooh
Feeling left out and watching the person with someone else
You know it's mean of you to make me feel this way
Expressing hurt caused by the person
And I feel terrible here stuck out in the rain
Feeling terrible in the current situation
You coulda been there to part the crowds
Imagining a grand entrance of the person
Like you're parting clouds
Comparing the person to parting clouds
Look at me and wow
Expressing admiration for the person
And those neon lights
Repeating the desire for a connection and intimacy
A technicolor night
-Woulda walked across the room
-That coulda been me and you
-Woulda wanted me right there
-Your fingers in my hair
-We woulda been making moves
-That coulda been me and you
Continuing the repetition of desire
Me and you
-Coulda been me and you
-Coulda been me and you
-Coulda been me and you
-Coulda been me and you
-Coulda been me and you
-Coulda been me and you
-Coulda been me and you
-Coulda been me and you
Acknowledging the person's intelligence
And I know you're smart
Recognizing the potential for heartbreak
I know you know you wanna break my heart
Acknowledging the difficulty of the situation
And it's cruel to want you like I do
Expressing the cruelty of unrequited love
But if we set the scene out of our wildest dreams
Imagining an ideal scenario with the person
Just us two, me and you
Desiring a connection in a dreamlike setting
Under those neon lights
Repeating the desire for a connection and intimacy
A technicolor night
-Woulda walked across the room
-That coulda been, that coulda been you
-Woulda wanted me right there
-Your fingers in my hair
-We woulda been making moves
-That coulda been me and you
-Me and you
Continuing the repetition of desire
Coulda been me and you
-Coulda been me and you
-Coulda been me and you
-Coulda been me and you
-Coulda been me and you
-Coulda been me and you
-Coulda been me and you
-Coulda been me and you
Reiterating the missed opportunity
