If She Only Knew
Unveiling Dreams: If She Only Knew
Lyrics
And you think you’re on your own again
Expressing a feeling of solitude or isolation
I want to be the one to call your name
Desire to be a significant presence in the person's life
The leaves fall over, your face
Imagery of leaves falling over someone's face, possibly indicating change or uncertainty
They’re tryna figure you out
Others trying to understand the person
When it’s all there
When everything is revealed or clear
And I can’t help myself
Feeling compelled beyond control
And girl don’t waste my time
Requesting the girl not to waste time
Cos' I got you on my mind
Expressing the constant presence of the person in thoughts
On my mind
Reiteration of the person being on the mind
On my mind
-And if she only knew, if she only knew
Wondering if the girl is aware of something
If she only, knew she was dreaming
Suggesting that the girl is in a state of dreaming or unawareness
If she only knew, if she only knew
Reiteration of the girl being in a dream-like state
If she only, knew she was dreaming
-And there's a story everywhere you go
Highlighting the presence of stories in every experience
If you want to make one then let me know
Encouraging the girl to create her own story
Just sit down and tell me what you are wanting
Inviting the girl to communicate her desires
You know I take you to a beautiful place
Promising to take the girl to a beautiful place
So just don’t drift away
Advising the girl not to lose focus or stray
She don’t know, no better
Indicating a lack of awareness or understanding on her part
And she waits on me
She patiently waits for the speaker
So lets leave this place
Suggesting a desire to leave the current situation
And she knows
Acknowledging the girl's awareness
I will never let you go let you go
Promising not to let the girl go
And if she only knew, if she only knew
Repetition of the theme of the girl being in a dream-like state
If she only, knew she was dreaming
-If she only knew, if she only knew
Encouraging the girl to wait for something new
Just wait, for something knew
-And if she only knew, if she only knew
Reiteration of the girl being in a dream-like state
If she only, knew she was dreaming
-If she only knew, if she only knew
Encouraging the girl to wait for something new
Just wait, for something knew
-And if she only
Repetition of the idea that if she only knew
And if she only
-And if she only
-And if she only
-And if she only
-And if she only
-And if she only knew
Final emphasis on the girl's lack of awareness
