You are rare, unique, and beautiful (You're a fallen star). You are the one who gets me out of trouble (You're the getaway car). You are the one who keeps me from transgressing the appropriate boundaries (You're the line in the sand/When I go too far). You are the one who gives me relief from my discomfort and my problems (You're the swimming pool/On an August day). You are the one who makes me feel like I'm intelligent and clever (And you're the perfect thing to say).
You pretend that you are less than the amazing girl that you are, but deep down you know better. I find this very attractive. You can tell how I feel about you and how much I love you. You know the affect that merely being who you are has on me. You can see this in my eyes (And you play it coy/But it's kinda cute/Oh when you smile at me/You know exactly what you do/Baby don't pretend/That you don't know it's true/'Cause you can see it when I look at you).
You are fun to be around and make me feel like a kid again (You're a carousel). You make me feel hopeful about the future (You're a wishing well). You turn me on and make me feel good about myself (And you'll light me up/When you ring my bell). You are someone that, regardless of your wonderful qualities, I admit that I do not fully understand. Because of this you intrigue me and captivate my attention all the more. (You're a mystery/You're from outer space). I think about you all the time and I care more about you than anything else (You're every minute of my everyday).
It is unbelievable, given who you are, that you love me too. That I get to be together with you (And I can't believe that I'm your man/And I get to kiss you baby just because I can). Our love is so strong, so deep, so powerful, that any problem we have in the future can be overcome (Whatever comes our way/We'll see it through/And you know that's what our love can do).
These are tough times. Times that tend to make one not feel special, not feel unique, not feel in control, not know what one's limits are, not feel safe, not feel intelligent, not feel hopeful, not feel that one is able to relax and have fun, not feel excited, not feel able to connect to the mystery of life, not feel like one is able to have something to which one should dedicate oneself. (And in this crazy life/And through these crazy times) It is my love for you that gives meaning and purpose to my life. This song that I sing, all the songs that I sing, every line I say, every word I utter, all that I am is imbued, is inspired, is made wonderful by you. You are the real song and the song that I am singing and its words are merely a reflection of you. It is you, who you are, that is the greatest thing in the world. My song is merely my attempt to "sing along," to join in revealing the incomparable person that you are and the transforming affect that you have on my life (It's you, it's you/You make me sing/You're every line/You're every word/You're everything/You're every song/And I sing along/'Cause you're my everything).
@Muthos This is, without a doubt, the most amazing analysis of a song I've ever read on this site (and the rest of the internet). Plus, it's absolutely adorable. Thank you for this.
