Unspoken Longings: A Tale of Silent Love
Lyrics
Everyday
Expressing the regularity of a certain occurrence or feeling.
You come down strolling
Describing the subject's casual approach or demeanor.
Blindly scrolling on the internet
Highlighting the subject's engagement with online content without a specific focus.
I wanna say
Expressing a desire to communicate something.
I like your face, but what's that phrase?
Expressing attraction to the person's physical appearance.
I haven't found it yet
Acknowledging the difficulty in finding the right words.
Anyway
Transitioning to another thought or topic.
I like to think of you and me
Expressing a sense of unity and partnership between the speaker and the subject.
As us against the world
Portraying a united front against external challenges.
As you walk away
Observing the departure of the person, prompting self-reflection.
I realize I can't keep my eyes
Realizing the exclusivity of the speaker's attention to the person.
On any other girl
Expressing difficulty in diverting attention to others.
And I wish I could walk to you
Expressing a desire to approach and engage with the person.
And smile and wave and walk away
Imagining a scenario where the speaker confidently interacts with the person.
Or maybe I could talk to you
Considering alternative ways to initiate a conversation.
Say "Hey", my name, or "How's your day?"
Proposing friendly greetings or inquiries.
Cause I know you've been lonely, and before I miss my one and only chance
Recognizing the person's loneliness and expressing a sense of urgency.
Mister and Miss Romance
Poetically referring to both individuals as potential romantic partners.
Would you care to dance?
Inviting the person to dance, suggesting a romantic connection.
I like to say
Expressing a willingness to take risks in certain situations.
In times like this, it's hit or miss
Reflecting on the unpredictable nature of specific moments.
I might just take my shot
Considering the possibility of expressing romantic feelings.
But everyday
Returning to the routine of encountering the person.
I'm faced with fear when you get near
Expressing fear or hesitation when the person is in close proximity.
So might I? Probably not
Expressing doubt about taking a bold step in the person's presence.
And I wish I could walk to you
Reiterating the desire to approach the person confidently.
And smile and wave and walk away
Imagining a scenario where the speaker confidently interacts with the person.
Or maybe I could talk to you
Considering alternative ways to initiate a conversation.
Say "Hey", my name, or "How's your day?"
Proposing friendly greetings or inquiries.
Cause I know you've been lonely, and before I miss my one and only chance
Recognizing the person's loneliness and expressing a sense of urgency.
Mister and Miss Romance
Poetically referring to both individuals as potential romantic partners.
If you were mine
Imagining a scenario where the speaker is romantically involved with the person.
I'd treat you right, far out of sight
Expressing the speaker's commitment to treating the person well.
From that guy you always meet
Desiring to be distinct from someone the person frequently encounters.
But I'll be fine
Accepting solitude while acknowledging the person's presence.
I'll stay alone all on my own
Choosing to remain alone rather than pursuing a less meaningful connection.
As you walk down Sutter Street
Referencing a specific street as the person walks away, signifying distance.
And I wish I could walk to you
Reiterating the desire to approach the person confidently.
And smile and wave and walk away
Imagining a scenario where the speaker confidently interacts with the person.
Or maybe I could talk to you
Considering alternative ways to initiate a conversation.
I've finally found that phrase
Expressing relief or excitement upon finding the right words to say.
I'd say that "I love…"
Leaving the phrase "I love..." incomplete, possibly indicating hesitation or suspense.
