Lyrics
Imagine being happy, not being sad
Expressing a desire for happiness and the absence of sadness.
With people who love you and wish you the best
Desiring positive relationships with people who genuinely care and wish well.
Imagine being cheerful about your life
Imagining a joyful perspective towards one's own life.
And having a reason to be alive
Expressing a wish for a meaningful purpose that gives a reason to live.
I, oh-I wish it could happen to me
Repeating the desire for positive experiences, expressing longing.
I, oh-I wish it could happen to me
Reiteration of the desire for positive experiences.
With every night I lay down and cry
Contrast between the longing for happiness and the current emotional state of nightly sadness and tears.
I hate myself and I wanna die
Expressing strong negative emotions and a desire for self-harm.
Oh girl, believe me, I don't wish you that
Clarifying that the previous negative feelings are not wished upon someone else.
I live in Spain but without the S
Playful wordplay indicating living in Spain without the letter 'S' could mean living in pain.
I, oh-I wish it could happen to me
Repeating the desire for positive experiences despite the current struggles.
I, oh-I wish it could happen to me
Reiteration of the desire for positive experiences.
The luckiest day that I ever had
Reflecting on a fortunate day, possibly sarcastically, given the subsequent lines.
Is when I learned the difference between father and dad
Highlighting the impact of understanding the difference between a father and a dad.
I know it ain't much but it's the best I can do
Acknowledging a limitation in what can be offered, but it's the best that can be done.
All I wanted to be is you
Expressing a desire to be someone else, possibly someone perceived as better or happier.
I, oh-I wish it could happen to me
Repeating the desire for positive experiences despite challenges and self-doubt.
I, oh-I wish it could happen to me
Reiteration of the desire for positive experiences.
I, oh-I wish it could happen to me
Repetition of the longing for positive experiences, emphasizing the desire.
I, oh-I wish it could happen to me
Final repetition of the strong desire for positive experiences and happiness.
