It May Sound Silly
Unspoken Longings: Love's Echo in 'It May Sound Silly'
Lyrics
It may sound silly for me to say this
Expressing that what follows may seem foolish or irrational.
After the way you broke my heart
Acknowledging a past heartbreak caused by the person being addressed.
But I still love you although we are apart
Despite the separation, the speaker still harbors feelings of love.
It may sound silly to say I miss you
Stating that admitting a sense of longing might appear foolish.
I must confess that this is true
Truthfully confessing that the speaker misses the person mentioned.
I want you only, 'cause no one else will do
Expressing a desire for exclusivity, indicating no one else is acceptable.
The day we quarreled and you left me
Referring to a past argument and separation from the person.
Before you walked out through the door
Describing the moment of departure, walking out through the door.
I wanted to tell you how much I would miss you
Admitting an unspoken desire to convey the depth of missing the person.
But my pride wouldn't let me tell you so
Explaining that pride prevented expressing the feelings during the argument.
It may sound silly but if you phone me
Suggesting that a phone call might be considered silly, but it's desired.
And ask forgiveness for doin' me wrong
Hypothetical scenario: if the person seeks forgiveness for wrongdoing.
It may sound silly but I'd be waiting with open arms
Despite the potential silliness, expressing a readiness to reconcile openly.
Oh yes it may sound silly but if you phone me
Reiterating the potential perceived silliness of a phone call for forgiveness.
And ask forgiveness for doin' me wrong
Repeating the hypothetical situation of seeking forgiveness.
It may sound silly but I'd be waiting with open arms
Reaffirming the willingness to embrace the person with open arms.
