Die To Be With You

Lyrics
I fall in love with the wrong people
I find myself falling in love with individuals who are not right for me.
No I don't know why
Expressing uncertainty about the reasons behind falling for the wrong people.
I fall in love with the wrong people
Reiterating the pattern of falling for unsuitable partners.
Don't you ever ask me why
Discouraging inquiries into the reasons behind these romantic choices.
Woah it feels so good
Describing the initial pleasure of love, contrasted with subsequent pain.
Oh but in the end it hurts so bad
Highlighting the contradictory nature of love—initial pleasure turning into lasting pain.
Oh babe you know I want you now, I want you so bad
Expressing a strong desire for the person, despite the potential dangers of love.
I've heard love is dangerous, lots of things can turn bad
Acknowledging the risks associated with love and its potential for negative outcomes.
Oh babe you know I want you now, I want you so bad
Reiterating the intense desire for the person, despite the acknowledged risks.
Think about all that we could have
Reflecting on the missed opportunities and imagining a different, better scenario.
And every minute I spend without you
Stating that every moment without the person feels unbearable, almost like being dead.
Is a minute I'd rather be dead
Emphasizing the extreme emotional pain experienced in the absence of the desired person.
We don't know what it means to be in love
Admitting a lack of understanding about the true meaning of love.
But I try real hard
Expressing a sincere effort to comprehend and experience genuine love.
We don't know what it means to be in love
Reiterating the theme of not fully grasping the essence of love.
Many have put me down so far
Referring to past experiences of being criticized or put down by others.
But if all I had was your hand in my hand
Expressing that having the person's hand in their own would bring ultimate happiness.
Oh I could die a happy man.
Conveying the idea that having the person's hand is enough for a fulfilling life.
I always want someone I can't have
Admitting a tendency to desire individuals who are unattainable.
That's how the story goes
Describing a recurring pattern in the speaker's romantic choices.
I always want someone I can't have
Reiterating the perpetual desire for individuals who are out of reach.
But yet the feeling still grows
Acknowledging that despite the unattainability, the longing for the person intensifies.
But even though that much is true
Asserting the truth of the previous statements about unattainable love.
I would die to be with you
Expressing a willingness to sacrifice and even die to be with the desired person.
