Lyrics
Well, I know it's kind of late
Expressing awareness of the late hour
I hope I didn't wake you
Expressing concern about potentially disturbing the listener's sleep
But what I've got to say can't wait
Emphasizing the urgency of the message to be conveyed
I know you'd understand
Confidence in the listener's understanding
'Cause every time I tried to tell you
Previous failed attempts to communicate verbally
The words just came out wrong
Acknowledging difficulty in expressing feelings verbally
So I'll have to say "I love you" in a song
Choosing to express love through a song due to verbal challenges
Yeah, I know it's kind of strange
Admitting the peculiarity of the situation
Every time I'm near you
Experiencing speechlessness when in close proximity
I just run out of things to say
Running out of words when physically near the listener
I know you'd understand
Confidence in the listener's understanding despite communication challenges
'Cause every time I tried to tell you
Reflecting on past unsuccessful attempts to convey feelings verbally
The words just came out wrong
Acknowledging persistent difficulty in verbal expression
So I'll have to say "I love you" in a song
Choosing the medium of a song to convey love effectively
'Cause every time the time was right
Highlighting the consistent failure to express love verbally at the right moment
All the words just came out wrong
Reiterating the challenge of finding the right words in crucial moments
So I'll have to say "I love you" (I love you) in a song
Reaffirming the decision to express love through a song
Yeah, I know it's kind of late (it's kind of late)
Repeating the acknowledgment of the late hour
I hope I didn't wake you
Reiterating concern about potential disturbance
But there's something that I just got to say
Stating the necessity of expressing something important
(I know you'd understand)
Confidence in the listener's understanding
I know you'd understand
Reinforcing trust in the listener's comprehension
'Cause every time I tried to tell you
Recalling past challenges in verbal expression
The words just came out wrong
Acknowledging past failures in verbalizing feelings
So I'll have to say "I love you" in a song
Reaffirming the choice to express love through a song
