Why Can't You Be Mine
Yearning Echoes: Unrequited Desires in 'Why Can't You Be Mine'
Lyrics
Too young to know what's right and what's wrong
Expressing a lack of experience or maturity to distinguish right from wrong.
So this is why I wrote you a love song
The creation of a love song as a means of communication.
Standing around, you're standing around, you're looking for a sign
Describing a moment of uncertainty, seeking guidance or clarity.
You're running around, you're running around, you're looking for a sign
Expressing restlessness and searching for direction or purpose.
So here we are again
Acknowledging a recurring situation.
Just roaming around like friends
Describing a casual interaction, possibly with an affectionate tone.
I want this to all just end
Expressing a desire for the situation to come to an end.
Why can't you be mine
Questioning why the person can't be in a romantic relationship.
So here we are again
Reiteration of a recurring situation.
Just roaming around like friends
Describing a casual interaction, possibly with an affectionate tone.
I want this to all just end
Expressing a desire for the situation to come to an end.
Why can't you be mine
Questioning why the person can't be in a romantic relationship.
And I was lost so lost to think you were mine
Reflecting on feeling lost and realizing a connection with the person.
Like a needle in a hay stack you were hard to find
Comparing the person to something difficult to find but valuable.
Yet i'm roaming around, i'm searching around, i'm looking for a sign
Continuing the theme of searching for direction or purpose.
I'm gazing around, i'm hazing around, i'm looking for a sign
Expressing confusion or haziness while seeking a sign.
And here we go again
Acknowledging a recurring situation.
Just roaming around like friends
Describing a casual interaction, possibly with an affectionate tone.
I want this to all just end
Expressing a desire for the situation to come to an end.
Why can't you be mine
Questioning why the person can't be in a romantic relationship.
Oh and here we go again
Reiteration of a recurring situation.
Just roaming around like friends
Describing a casual interaction, possibly with an affectionate tone.
I want this to all just end
Expressing a desire for the situation to come to an end.
Why can't you be mine
Questioning why the person can't be in a romantic relationship.
And here we go again
Reiteration of a recurring situation.
Just roaming around like friends
Describing a casual interaction, possibly with an affectionate tone.
I want this to all just end
Expressing a desire for the situation to come to an end.
Why can't you be mine
Questioning why the person can't be in a romantic relationship.
Oh and here we go again
Reiteration of a recurring situation.
Just roaming around like friends
Describing a casual interaction, possibly with an affectionate tone.
I want this to all just end
Expressing a desire for the situation to come to an end.
Why can't you be mine
Questioning why the person can't be in a romantic relationship.
