Way to Be Loved Lyrics
walking down the sidewalk
is that the way that you wanna be seen?
face that won't forget you
photographic memory
impression that you're drawn to
make it good
make it last
waiting for this moment for so long
ready for the dance
is that the way that you want to be loved?
ready with your story
funny guy
cartoon
always saying sorry
hold on, there's something you're gonna loose
the man who turns the lights on
the lover who never has to choose
the girl he's set his sights on
lacing up her shoes
is that the way that you are
I can picture you staring
out the window
not caring
the nights go by
oh the nights go by
is that the way that you wanna be loved?
I can picture you staring
out the window
not caring
the nights go by
oh the nights go by
is that the way that you are?
wear your hair down alone
tie it up when he's there
and tell me that nothing's wrong
is that the way that you wanna be seen?
face that won't forget you
photographic memory
impression that you're drawn to
make it good
make it last
waiting for this moment for so long
ready for the dance
funny guy
cartoon
always saying sorry
hold on, there's something you're gonna loose
the man who turns the lights on
the lover who never has to choose
the girl he's set his sights on
lacing up her shoes
I can picture you staring
out the window
not caring
the nights go by
oh the nights go by
I can picture you staring
out the window
not caring
the nights go by
oh the nights go by
is that the way that you are?
wear your hair down alone
tie it up when he's there
and tell me that nothing's wrong
Add your song meanings, interpretations, facts, memories & more to the community.
This song has a pretty simple meaning- It's a caution about the way you let yourself be seen in front of other people, and the facade that you put up that really isn't you.
We worry so much about others' acceptance that we don't let ourselves just be us, and end up regretting it.

Thanks for this. I like this interpretation better than my original assumption of the meaning. Which doesn't even make sense after properly reading the lyrics and your comment!
