I Wish You Could Be
Yearning Echoes: Unveiling the Silent Language of 'I Wish You Could Be'
Lyrics
How do I look at you, without their gaze
Expressing difficulty in looking at someone without being influenced by others' opinions.
How do I let you know, without fear in my throat
Wondering how to convey feelings without the fear that causes a lump in the throat.
How could you look at me, and see me so true
Questioning how the other person can see the speaker so genuinely.
How would I let it show, coded words I knew
Contemplating how to reveal emotions using carefully chosen words.
Did you notice when I saw you that you made me blush
Acknowledging that the person being addressed made the speaker blush upon being noticed.
And all I ever wonder is if we could be in love
Expressing the constant wondering about the possibility of being in love with that person.
Am I wasting my time tripping over you circling round my mind
Questioning if investing time and thoughts in the person is worthwhile.
I wish you could be
Desiring the person to be a significant part of the speaker's life.
How could I ever win, with dreams like these
Expressing the challenges of achieving dreams related to the person.
How could I even breathe, if you were close to me
Reflecting on the difficulty of breathing when the person is close.
Did you notice when I saw you that all I could do was grin
Noting the joyful reaction of grinning upon seeing the person.
And all I ever wonder is if I'm you're everything
Continuing to wonder if the speaker is everything to the person being addressed.
Am I wasting my time tripping over you circling round my mind
Reiterating the uncertainty of whether investing time and thoughts in the person is justified.
I wish you could be
Expressing the desire for the person to be in a romantic relationship.
Slide my hand across the bar
Describing a physical action of sliding the hand across the bar, possibly indicating a longing gesture.
But then, bail on telling you how pretty you are
Deciding not to express admiration directly to avoid potential discomfort.
It's never the boys that I wanna kiss
Indicating a preference for the addressed person over others for romantic feelings.
You're the only one that I miss
Expressing a sense of longing and missing the person.
Did you notice when I saw you that all I could do was grin
Reiterating the joyful reaction of grinning upon seeing the person.
And all I ever wonder is if I'm you're everything
Continuing to wonder if the speaker is everything to the person being addressed.
Am I wasting my time tripping over you circling round my mind
Repeating the uncertainty of whether investing time and thoughts in the person is justified.
I wish you could be mine
Expressing the strong desire for the person to be romantically involved.
Did you notice when I saw you that you made me blush
Noting the blushing reaction when the person is seen.
And all I ever wonder is if we could be in love
Continuing to wonder about the potential for a romantic relationship with the person.
Am I wasting my time tripping over you circling round my mind
Reiterating the uncertainty of whether investing time and thoughts in the person is justified.
I wish you could be mine
Expressing the strong desire for the person to be exclusively the speaker's.
