As She's Walking Away
Love's Silent Conversation: A Tale of Missed Chances
Lyrics
We never spoke a word
We never communicated verbally.
But every thought she had I heard from across the room
I could understand her thoughts even though she didn't express them.
If we were standing face to face
If we were facing each other.
I couldn't find the words to say
I couldn't find the right words to say.
Give me one more move
Give me another chance.
I don't even know her name
I don't know her name.
I guess foolish pride's to blame
Perhaps my pride prevented me from making a move.
Now I'm falling in love as she's walking away
Now I find myself falling in love as she's leaving.
And my heart won't tell my mind to tell my mouth what it should say
My heart is conflicted, unable to convey the right words.
May have lost this battle, live to fight another day
I may have lost this opportunity but can try again.
Now I'm falling in love
Reiteration of falling in love as she walks away.
As she's walking away
Reiteration of the situation.
Wise man next to me did say
A wise person nearby offers advice.
'Bout the one that got away
About a missed romantic opportunity.
Son I missed my chance
Personal admission of a missed chance.
Don't you let regret take place
Advice to avoid letting regret take over.
Of the dreams you have to chase
Pursue your dreams, take risks.
Ask her to dance, go on son
Encouragement to ask her to dance.
You might fall down on your face
There's a chance of failure, but take the risk.
Roll the dice and have some faith
Take chances and have faith.
And don't be falling in love as she's walking away
Reiteration of advice not to fall in love as she walks away.
When your heart won't tell your mind to tell your mouth what it should say
Heart, mind, and mouth communication struggles.
May have lost this battle, live to fight another day
Even if this attempt fails, there are more opportunities.
Don't be falling in love
Reiteration of the warning not to fall in love as she walks away.
As she's walking away
Repetition of the situation.
You might fall down on your face
A reminder of the possibility of failure.
Roll the dice and have some faith
Encouragement to take risks and have faith.
And don't be falling in love as she's walking away
Reiteration of advice not to fall in love as she walks away.
When your heart won't tell your mind to tell your mouth what it should say
Heart, mind, and mouth communication struggles reiterated.
May have lost this battle, live to fight another day
Even if unsuccessful, there are more chances in the future.
Don't be falling, falling, falling in love
Strong warning against falling in love as she walks away.
As she's walking away
Reiteration of the situation.
