Wishing for You
Wishing for You: A Yearning Tale of Unwavering Love
Lyrics
Let it be said I'm a rational man
Expressing that the speaker considers himself rational.
And I live in the usual ways
Describing a normal, routine lifestyle.
But I dream mighty high for the shape that I'm in
Having ambitious dreams despite the speaker's current condition.
And I always knew one of these days
Anticipating a significant event in the future.
The stakes in this game would be raised
Expecting increased challenges or risks in life.
I'm wishing for you I'm wishing for you
Expressing a desire or hope for someone (unspecified).
What else can I do but keep wishing for you
Stating that wishing is the only option available.
Gold ain't so precious diamonds don't shine
Downplaying the value of material possessions.
And a mountain top ain't so tall
Highlighting the relative insignificance of certain things.
Life's just a way passing some time
Suggesting a philosophical view of life as a passing experience.
Love's just a place where you fall
Defining love as a place where one can experience a fall or vulnerability.
And nothing else matters at all
Emphasizing the supreme importance of love in life.
I'm wishing for you I'm wishing for you
Reiterating the desire or hope for someone (unspecified).
What else can I do but keep wishing for you
Reaffirming that wishing is the only recourse.
Well if my wishes were horses honey my horse could run
Using a metaphor to express the potency of the speaker's wishes.
Faster and farther than most anyone's
Imagining the potential speed and distance of the speaker's desires.
If only you hadn't just up and gone
Expressing regret or sorrow for someone's departure.
And left me here wishing for you
Remaining in a state of desire or longing for the absent person.
Now you may never know what I had on the line
Suggesting that there were unspoken stakes or commitments in the past.
But I hope if someday you do
Expressing a hope for the person's eventual understanding.
You'll be held in some arms just as gentle as mine
Describing the speaker's wish for the person to experience love similar to the speaker's.
With a love just as strong and true
Emphasizing the depth and authenticity of the desired love.
That what I'm wishing for you
Reiterating the speaker's ongoing wish for the person.
I'm wishing for you I'm wishing for you
Restating the speaker's persistent desire or hope.
What else can I do but keep wishing for you
Affirming that wishing remains the primary action.
