Lyrics
My friend got married last weekend
Reflecting on a friend's recent marriage celebration
and I was there to witness
Personally attending the wedding as an observer
as he filled his life with love
Noting the friend embracing love in their life
and everyone around him was dancing,
Observing a joyous atmosphere with people dancing
laughing, getting drunk on champagne
Describing a lively scene with laughter and champagne
and there was I feeling lonely by your side
Feeling lonely next to someone who can't commit
for you not being able to promise me a lifetime being true
Expressing disappointment for not receiving a commitment
Maybe that's just not the way for me and you
Suggesting that the conventional way might not work for the speaker
But I would surely like to know what it feels like to
Expressing curiosity about the experience of fearlessly loving
not be afraid of losing you
Desiring to overcome the fear of losing the partner
I could not stand -losing you x3
Repeating the difficulty of coping with the idea of losing
I could not stand to -lose you x9
Intensifying the emotional impact of the fear of loss
Our friends got married last weekend
Shifting focus to friends' marriage celebration
and we were there to witness
Being present as friends fill their life with magic
as they filled their life with magic
Describing the magical atmosphere of their life
everyone around them was dancing,
Depicting the joyous scene with dancing and celebration
laughing, getting drunk on champagne
Highlighting the celebratory mood with laughter and champagne
and there were you feeling lonely just like me
Feeling lonely, mirroring the earlier experience
for me not being able to promise you a lifetime being true
Expressing regret for not providing a commitment
Maybe that's just not the way for me and you
Suggesting that the conventional approach may not suit them
but I would surely like to know what it feels like to
Expressing a desire to understand the feeling of security
not be afraid of losing you
Desiring to overcome the fear of losing the partner
I could not stand -losing you x6
Reiterating the difficulty of coping with the idea of losing
I could not stand to -lose you x3
Intensifying the emotional impact of the fear of loss
could you stand to- lose me? x3
Pose a question about the partner's ability to handle loss
I could not stand to -lose you x
Repeating the emotional difficulty of facing potential loss
Our friends got married last weekend
Revisiting the theme of friends' recent marriage
and we were there to witness
Observing the friends' life being filled with love
as they filled their life with love
Concluding with the notion of friends embracing love
