What If We Could Lyrics

To me this song is about two people who meet, become friends and eventually discover they are soul mates and made for each other. Or at least one of them feels that way. However they are involved with someone else (or maybe he is) and it keeps them apart.

"What if it felt right, would you want me to know?"

They have to be strong and never admit the undeniable love they have for each other. They both know if it was known between them, nothing would stop them from being together and it would destroy the lives of the innocent people they are already involved with.

"what if we could" "would you meet me?" "God, somehow exist"

She is stronger than he is and able to resist because she know's the cost of being together but he is more desperate to know and a huge part of him wants it to be real no matter the cost.

"So go on be your own star" "Your a superstar in my eyes" "Look in my eyes Just look in my eyes My eyes, my eyes"

He's trying to push her out of his life, so he can go on with the life he has chosen, yet he can't let her go because she is the brightest girl he has ever known. He wants her to see it in his eyes, so she knows it's real.

God, I would God, I would I would meet you Would you meet me? I would meet you I would meet you

This part of the song sounds as if he realizes he would throw away everything to be with her, if only she would say the word and he feels guilty for it by screaming "God I would!"

Tragic fucking song......
