I Want to Believe It's You
Believing in Love: Quarterflash's Musical Journey
Lyrics
So many years I've been waiting alone
Expresses the duration of waiting alone for many years.
So many days in blue
Reflects a prolonged period of feeling melancholic or sad.
Thinking that life maybe passed me by
Contemplating that life may have passed the speaker by.
Then suddenly I found you
Discovery of someone suddenly.
And now all of my life seems to change overnight
The sudden appearance of the person has dramatically altered the speaker's life.
And I don't know what to do
Feelings of uncertainty or confusion about the sudden change.
You say you want to be mine
The person expresses a desire to be in a relationship.
That it's love this time
Claims that this time it is genuine love.
I want to believe it's true
The speaker wishes to believe in the authenticity of the person's feelings.
I want to believe it's you
The speaker wants to trust that the person is genuine.
It's never easy for me in love
The speaker finds it challenging to navigate love.
I never can find what I need
Struggles to find a compatible partner.
I need a lover that's lost but hasn't lost touch
Desires a partner who is lost but hasn't lost touch, similar to the speaker.
Someone who's lost like me
Describing the desired partner who shares a similar sense of being lost.
And then I come on too strong and I play it all wrong
Admits to making mistakes in expressing feelings, possibly due to nervousness.
I don't know why I do
Confusion about why the speaker behaves this way.
But something tells me tonight
Despite uncertainties, a feeling suggests that this moment might be right.
That this might be right
The speaker hopes for the authenticity of the feeling in the current moment.
I want to believe it's true
Desire to trust that the current situation is genuine.
I want to believe it's you
Wishing to believe in the authenticity of the person.
Oh...I want to believe it's true
Reiterating the desire to believe in the truth of the situation.
Oh...I want to believe it's you
Continuing to express the wish to believe in the person.
I keep having this dream that I go through
A recurring dream where an unidentified person holds the speaker.
A man holds me close but I never see who
The dream involves physical closeness with an unknown person.
Babe, can't you see that
The speaker asks the person to recognize their longing for them.
I want to believe it's you
Expresses the desire for the unidentified person to be the one they seek.
It's easy to hide your heart away
Highlighting the ease of avoiding emotional vulnerability.
It's easy to never choose
It's simple to never make choices regarding love.
I've loved and I've lost and I've lost my way
Experienced love, loss, and feeling directionless.
And now I'm afraid to lose
Fearful of experiencing further losses.
But when you say that it's right
The person's affirmation that the situation is right.
That it's here tonight
Indicating the presence of an opportunity tonight.
I'm ready to see it, too
The speaker is now open to acknowledging and accepting the truth.
Like a prisoner's release
Comparing the situation to a prisoner's release, symbolizing freedom.
Like a promise of peace
Similar to a promise of peace, hoping for tranquility in the situation.
I want to believe it's true
Wishful thinking, desiring to believe in the authenticity of the situation.
I want to believe it's you
The speaker desires to trust and believe in the person they long for.
