Something Stupid
Whispers of Love: Malan Breton's Melodic Confession
Lyrics
I know I stand in line
The speaker acknowledges patiently waiting for the person they're addressing.
Until you think you have the time
They're willing to accommodate the other person's schedule for an evening together.
To spend an evening with me
Expressing a desire to spend quality time with the listener.
And if we go some place to dance
Suggesting the possibility of going dancing together.
I know that there's a chance
Acknowledging the chance that the listener might not choose to leave with them.
You won't be leaving with me
Anticipating a potential rejection or lack of mutual interest.
Then afterwards we drop into a quiet little place
Planning to go to a quiet place after the initial event.
And have a drink or two
Suggesting having a few drinks together in a more intimate setting.
And then I go and spoil it all
The speaker regrets ruining the moment by saying something foolish.
By saying somethin' stupid like, "I love you"
They acknowledge their tendency to spoil things by expressing love prematurely.
I can see it in your eyes
Perceiving a lack of trust or skepticism in the listener's eyes.
You still despise the same old lies
Feeling that the listener distrusts the speaker's words due to past experiences.
You heard the night before
Referencing previous lies or insincere expressions.
And though it's just a line to you
Admitting that the declaration of love might seem insincere to the listener.
For me it's true
Highlighting the genuine feeling of love the speaker has despite it seeming cliché.
And never seemed so right before
Expressing how the love feels right despite potential doubts.
I practice every day
The speaker practices to articulate their emotions more effectively.
To find some clever lines to say
Trying to find clever and sincere ways to express their feelings.
To make the meaning come through
Desiring to convey the depth of their emotions authentically.
But then I think I'll wait
Deciding to wait for the right moment to express their feelings.
Until the evening gets late
Choosing to wait until they're alone with the listener.
And I'm alone with you
Anticipating a more intimate and personal setting.
The time is right, your perfume fills my head
Feeling the timing is perfect and being influenced by the listener's presence.
The stars get red, and, oh, the night's so blue
Describing a romantic and emotionally charged atmosphere.
And then I go and spoil it all
Regretting the tendency to spoil the moment by prematurely expressing love.
By saying somethin' stupid like, "I love you"
Reiterating the pattern of ruining the moment by saying "I love you" too soon.
The time is right, your perfume fills my head
Recalling the captivating moment influenced by the listener's presence.
The stars get red, and, oh, the night's so blue
Describing the intense emotional impact of the situation.
And then I go and spoil it all
Repeating the regret of spoiling the moment with premature declarations of love.
By saying somethin' stupid like, "I love you"
Continuing to lament the habit of ruining the moment by saying "I love you."
"I love you"
-"I love you"
-"I love you"
-"I love you"
-"I love you"
-"I love you"
-"I love you"
Repeating the regretful expression of love despite its potential consequences.
