Going Somewhere
Impressions of Love: Jessy Lanza's Emotional Journey in 'Going Somewhere'
Lyrics
This coincidence is all that I can take
This coincidence is overwhelming for me.
I just really want to impress you
The speaker desires to make a strong impression on someone.
Yeah, I just wanna impress you, baby
Reiteration of the desire to impress the mentioned person.
Took my time and tried to make sense of it all
The speaker took time to understand and make sense of the situation.
I never said it right
Expressing difficulty in articulating feelings correctly.
'Cause baby, I just wanna impress you
The primary goal is to impress the person addressed as "baby."
I just wanna impress you, yeah
Reiteration of the desire to impress.
Hear it in the words that you say all the time
Noticing a recurring theme in the words spoken by the person.
Even if I don't want to play it over in my mind
Reluctance to replay certain thoughts in the mind.
Just say you love, say you love
Encouraging the person to express love verbally.
Say you love, say you love
Repetition of the request for verbal expression of love.
Just say you love me, yeah
The plea for the person to simply say "I love you."
Just say you love, say you love
Continuation of the plea for verbal affirmation of love.
Say you love, say you love
Reiteration of the request for the person to say they love the speaker.
Just say you love me, say you love me
Emphasis on the importance of hearing the words "I love you."
This coincidence is all that I can take
Reiteration of the overwhelming nature of the coincidence.
I just really want to impress you
Desire to impress the person remains a strong sentiment.
Yeah, I just wanna impress you, ooh
Reiteration of the speaker's wish to impress the person.
But there's nothing left to say, you've said it all
Acknowledgment that everything has been said, leaving little unsaid.
You're so young and fine
Complimentary remark about the person's youth and attractiveness.
Baby, I just want to impress you
Expressing the simple desire to impress the person.
I just want to impress you, yeah
Reiteration of the desire to impress.
Do you long for love that was left far behind?
Questioning if the person yearns for a love left in the past.
Honey, tears are falling, you do it to me every time
The emotional impact of the person's actions on the speaker.
Just say you love, say you love
Encouraging verbal expression of love once again.
Say you love, say you love
Repetition of the request for verbal expression of love.
Just say you love me, yeah
Emphasis on the importance of hearing the words "I love you."
Just say you love, say you love
Continuation of the plea for verbal affirmation of love.
Say you love, say you love
Reiteration of the request for the person to say they love the speaker.
Just say you love me
Repetition of the plea for verbal expression of love.
Say you love me
Extended plea for the person to express love verbally.
Hear it in the words that you say all the time
Noticing a recurring theme in the words spoken by the person.
Even if I don't want to play it over in my mind
Reluctance to replay certain thoughts in the mind.
Hear it in the words that you say all the time
Reiteration of the recurring theme in the person's words.
Even if I don't want to play it over in my mind
Continued reluctance to replay certain thoughts in the mind.
Just say you love, say you love
Encouraging the person to express love verbally.
Say you love, say you love
Repetition of the request for verbal expression of love.
Just say you love me, yeah
The plea for the person to simply say "I love you."
Just say you love, say you love
Continuation of the plea for verbal affirmation of love.
Say you love, say you love
Reiteration of the request for the person to say they love the speaker.
Just say you love me, say you love me
Emphasis on the importance of hearing the words "I love you."
