If I Ever
Unlocking Hearts: Tanita Tikaram's Message of Love and Connection in 'If I Ever'
Lyrics
What do you do for fun?
Query about recreational activities
What do you do when you want fun days?
Asking about preferred leisure days
I could be just anyone
Expressing a sense of versatility
I'm happy to smile and mad on Mondays
Readiness to show emotions on different days
The world is a better place
Optimistic view of the world
And every time I see your face
Positive impact of seeing a specific person
If I ever ever ever get through to you
Expressing a desire to connect deeply
If I ever ever ever get through to you
-If I ever ever ever get through to you
-If I ever ever ever get through to you, yeah oh
-Every time I hear your voice
Reflections on the impact of the person's voice and presence
Every time I feel you're near to me
-Will you ever make a choice?
-Will you ever be that real for me?
-The friendship feeling's fine
Desire for a romantic relationship
I just want you to be mine
-If I ever ever ever get through to you
Reiteration of the desire to connect deeply
If I ever ever ever get through to you
-If I ever ever ever get through to you
-If I ever ever ever get through to you
-He comes alive, she comes alive
Repetition of the idea that both individuals come alive in each other's presence
He comes alive, she comes alive
-He comes alive, she comes alive
-He comes alive, she comes alive
-You can make a madman sane
Acknowledgment of the transformative power of the person
You can make the winters warm again
-Promise me you'll never change
-Promise me you'll always stay the same
-'cause the world is a better place
Reiteration of the positive impact of seeing the person's face
And every time I see your face
-If I ever ever ever get through to you
Continued expression of the desire to connect deeply
If I ever ever ever get through to you
-If I ever get through to you
-If I ever ever ever get through to you
Reiteration of the longing to get through to the person
If I ever ever ever get through to you
-If I ever ever ever get through to you
-If I ever ever ever get through to you
-If I ever ever ever get through to you
Continued expression of the desire to connect deeply
If I ever ever ever get through to you
-If I ever ever ever get through to you
-If I ever ever ever get through to you
-If we ever get together we can always make it better
Hope for improvement and positive outcomes if they get together
If we ever get together we can always make it better
-If we ever get together we can always make it better
-...
