Lyrics
There's nobody better than you
Expressing admiration, stating that there is no one superior to the addressed person.
It took me a while till I knew
Acknowledging a delayed realization of the addressee's exceptional qualities.
But you knew from the start it was us, didn't you?
Noting that the addressee knew from the beginning that they were meant to be together.
It just took me a while till I knew
Admitting that it took some time for the speaker to fully understand and appreciate the connection.
Now I lay as I study a blank wall
Describing the current state of the speaker, lying down and contemplating a featureless wall.
Would you spare me your voice if I call?
Possibly requesting the addressee to withhold their voice when called upon.
'Cause you waited and watered my heart till it grew
Acknowledging the addressee's nurturing role in the speaker's emotional growth.
You just grew a little smarter too
Highlighting that the addressee also gained wisdom through the relationship.
So I don't blame you if you want to
Granting understanding if the addressee chooses a particular course of action.
Bury me in your memory, I'm not the girl I ought to be, but
Expressing a willingness to be remembered, despite not conforming to societal expectations.
Maybe when you tell your friends, you
Suggesting that the addressee can share positive aspects of the speaker with others.
Can tell them what you saw in me, and not how I turned out to be
Asking not to focus on the speaker's current state but on past positive qualities.
There's some kind of burning inside me
Describing an internal intensity or passion within the speaker.
It's kept me from falling apart
Claiming that this intensity has prevented the speaker from falling apart.
And I'm sure that you've seen what it's done to my heart
Suggesting that the addressee has witnessed the impact of this intensity on the speaker's heart.
But it's kept me from falling apart
Reiterating the protective nature of the internal burning, preventing emotional disintegration.
Now here I lay, as I wonder about you
Repeating the scene of the speaker lying down, now pondering thoughts about the addressee.
Would you just tell me what I'm meant to do?
Directly asking the addressee for guidance or clarification on the relationship's future.
'Cause I've waited and watered my heart till it grew
Acknowledging the speaker's effort in nurturing their emotions, hoping for reciprocation.
You can see how it's blossomed for you
Indicating that the speaker's heart has flourished or bloomed for the addressee.
And I don't blame you if you want to
Reiterating understanding if the addressee chooses a specific path.
Bury me in your memory, I'm not the girl I ought to be, but
Expressing a desire to be remembered, acknowledging deviation from societal expectations.
Maybe when you tell your friends, you
Encouraging the addressee to share positive memories of the speaker with others.
Can tell them what you saw in me, and not the way I am
Suggesting a focus on the past positive qualities rather than the speaker's current state.
And I don't mean to make your heart blue
Acknowledging a potential impact on the addressee's emotions but expressing a plea for understanding.
But could we be what we're meant to be?
Pondering the possibility of the relationship evolving into what it is meant to be.
I'm just about to beg you please
Expressing a moment of desperation, about to beg for something significant.
And then when you tell your friends
Asking the addressee to share positive aspects of the speaker with others.
You can tell them what you saw in me
Encouraging a focus on past positive qualities when sharing memories with others.
And not the way I used to be
Requesting not to dwell on the speaker's past shortcomings or mistakes.
'Cause there's nobody better than you
Reaffirming the uniqueness and value of the addressee in the speaker's eyes.
