If I Were to Tell You
Echoes of Life: A Melodic Tale of Love, Struggle, and Resilience
Lyrics
If I were to tell you, I’ve got something wrong
If the speaker confesses a problem
How fast would you get up, would it be faster than this song
Questioning the listener's speed to respond
And If I were to tell you, I have something to say
Expressing a need to communicate something
Would you speak up with me and make everything okay
Requesting support to resolve issues
If I were to tell you that I’m caught out in the fog
Feeling lost and needing guidance
Tell me you would guide me through it, tell me that I’m strong
Desiring reassurance and strength
And if all of these things of listed and all the things I say
Acknowledging various aspects discussed
Let me tell you that I don’t want it any other way
Expressing contentment with the current state
Woah woah woah woah
Repetition for emphasis or musical effect
Woah woah woah woah
-Woah woah woah woah
-Woah woah woah woah
-Woah you know, you know it's not my plan
Clarifying intentions or circumstances
I want to make you understand that I am just a man
Emphasizing human limitations and identity
Woah you know you know it won't be long
Anticipating a forthcoming revelation
Until i show you everything make you feel this song
Promising to share something significant
If I were to tell you, I’m poor without a doubt
Admitting financial difficulties
I spent it all didn’t save at all, the landlord locked me out
Describing consequences of financial decisions
And if all of these things of listed and all the things I say
Reiteration of acceptance of current circumstances
Let me tell you I don’t want it any other way
Reaffirming satisfaction with the current situation
Woah woah woah woah
Repetition for emphasis or musical effect
Woah woah woah woah
-Woah woah woah woah
-Woah woah woah woah
-Woah you know, you know it's not my plan
Reiterating the speaker's nature and limitations
I want to make you understand that I am just a man
Stressing the human aspect and vulnerability
Woah you know you know it won't be long
Anticipating the passage of time
Until I show you everything make you feel this song
Reiterating the intent to share and connect
Cause and effect has affected my cause
Reflecting on the consequences of actions
I can’t wait to grow up and realize my flaws
Expressing eagerness for personal growth
A chemical reaction that reacted to the way I view
Describing a chemical reaction metaphorically
Has caused me to rethink it all, cause it makes me think of you
Linking personal reflection to thoughts of the listener
Woah you know, you know it's not my plan
Reiteration of human limitations and intentions
I want to make you understand that I am just a man
Stressing the shared humanity and understanding
Woah you know you know it won't be long
Anticipating a forthcoming connection
Until I show you everything make you feel this song
Reiterating the intent to share and evoke emotions
