Lyrics
There's a wasteland
Expressing a desolate or barren place, possibly a metaphor for a relationship.
What could've been
Reflecting on missed opportunities or unfulfilled potential.
A memory
Nostalgia for a past experience.
Now what if is the only closure I can seek
The inability to find closure, with only the hypothetical "what if" as resolution.
Didn't know that I wanted you
Realization of a desire or need for someone.
Didn't know that I needed you
-Is it too late to say that now I'm ready
Questioning if it's too late to express readiness for a relationship.
Tried to tell you but my heart wouldn't let me
Struggling to convey feelings due to emotional barriers.
Didn't know that I wanted you
Reiterating the unexpected desire and need for someone.
Didn't know that I needed you
-And I know
Acknowledging missed opportunities and chances slipping away.
And I know
-I had a chance
-And I know
-And I know
-Slipped out my hands
-And I know and I know
Emphasizing the significance of events not being mere coincidence.
Not happenstance
-But I'ma take a shot
Expressing determination to take a chance, specifically one shot at confessing feelings.
And I know
-And I know
-I had a chance
-Say the words and my heart
-Is in your hands
-And I know
-And I know
-You're well aware
-So I'ma take a shot
-One shot
Repetition of the commitment to taking one shot.
To tell you that I'm feeling you
Describing the intention to express deep feelings and fears in one shot.
Tell you that I'm missing you
-Tell you that I really do
-One shot
-To tell you that I truly care
-Tell you that I was scared
-Lose a friend I couldn't dare
-One shot
Reiterating the significance of a single opportunity to make a meaningful impact.
One shot
-One shot for me
-One shot
-One shot
-It won't be the same
-Wish I could go back and meet you as a stranger
Expressing a desire to rewind time and approach the relationship differently.
To keep your garden from turning to my nature
-Didn't know that I wanted you
Reflecting on not recognizing the importance of someone until it's too late.
Didn't know that I needed you
-A silhouette all that's left
-I got nothing left to give
-I was reaching out for air
-There's nothing there but regret
-All the things I should've said but they never left my head
Regret over unspoken words and missed chances.
And I know
Reiteration of missed opportunities and the acknowledgment that events are not by chance.
And I know
-I had a chance
-And I know
-And I know
-Slipped out my hands
-And I know
-And I know
-Not happenstance
-But i would stay for you
Commitment to staying and praying for the person, acknowledging awareness of the situation.
And I be praying for you
-And I know
-And I know
-I had a chance
-Say the words and my heart
-Is in your hands
-And I know
-And I know
-You're well aware
-So I'ma take a shot
Repetition and emphasis on the importance of taking one shot to express true feelings.
One shot
-To tell you that I'm feeling you
-Tell you that I'm missing you
-Tell you that I really do
-One shot
-To tell you that I truly care
-Tell you that I was scared
-Lose a friend I couldn't dare
-One shot
-One shot
-One shot for me
-One shot
-One shot
-It won't be the same
Highlighting the irreversible change that will occur after taking the one shot.
