I Want It To Be You
Yearning Echoes: Unveiling the Depths of Longing in 'I Want It To Be You' by Lauren Kidd
Lyrics
I filled my bed the same day you left
I experienced loneliness and emptiness in my bed on the day you left.
And filled my phone with combinations
I filled my phone with various number combinations, perhaps seeking a solution or connection.
Like I needed them to crack a code
It's as if I needed these combinations to unlock a mystery or understand something unresolved.
Like there’s s mystery I’ve yet to unfold
There seems to be a mystery or unanswered question in my life that I haven't figured out yet.
God, I’m so impatient
Expressing impatience with the current situation or longing for answers.
Got marks on my skin from all the places we’ve been
My body bears physical marks from the places we've been together.
And still some girls take paths frequently travelled
Some girls take well-trodden paths, unlike our unique experiences.
Oh, she followed your journey
Referring to another person (she) who observed your journey.
All through my body
Expressing a deep connection with the person, feeling their presence throughout my body.
But if anybody wants me
If anyone is interested in me romantically, I desire it to be you.
I want it to be you
Reiterating the desire for a specific person (you).
Oh, she followed your journey
Repetition of the idea that someone (she) witnessed your journey.
All through my body
Reemphasizing the connection felt throughout the body.
But if anybody wants me
Expressing the desire for the person to be the one who wants me.
I want it to be…
Repeating the desire for a specific person (you).
Who is this stranger in the mirror
Feeling like a stranger to oneself when looking in the mirror.
I don’t recognize myself
Experiencing a lack of self-recognition, possibly due to emotional changes.
Let alone the name of the woman in my bed
The disconnection extends to not recognizing the person in my bed.
I do some things cause it’s easy
Admitting to engaging in certain behaviors because they are easy, but expressing genuine care in the context of a relationship.
But with you I actually care
Contrasting the ease of other actions with a genuine emotional investment in the relationship.
I have no excuse for my behaviours
Acknowledging mistakes and hoping for forgiveness or understanding from the other person.
I just hope you’re still there
Expressing a fear of losing the other person despite one's flaws.
I've got these marks on my skin from all the places we’ve been
Reiterating physical marks on the skin from shared experiences.
And I wouldn’t mind if they stayed permanent, no
Expressing a willingness for these marks to become permanent, suggesting a desire for lasting memories.
But sometimes I fold to tempting moments I know
Admitting vulnerability to tempting moments but expressing a struggle to let go and fully commit.
Cause I’m too afraid to let go and give it all
Fear of letting go and giving everything in a relationship.
Oh, she followed your journey
Repetition of the idea that someone (she) witnessed your journey.
All through my body
Reemphasizing the connection felt throughout the body.
But if anybody wants me
Expressing the desire for the person to be the one who wants me.
I want it to be you
Repeating the desire for a specific person (you).
Oh, she followed your journey
Repetition of the idea that someone (she) witnessed your journey.
All through my body
Reemphasizing the connection felt throughout the body.
But if anybody wants me
Expressing the desire for the person to be the one who wants me.
I want it to be you
Repeating the desire for a specific person (you).
I want it to be you
Final repetition of the desire for the specific person (you).
