Things I'll Never Say...

                                              I’m tugging at my hair

I’m pulling at my clothes
I’m trying to keep my cool
I know it shows
I’m staring at my feet
My cheeks are turning red
I’m searching for the words inside my head

[Pre-Chorus]
(Cause) I’m feeling nervous
Trying to be so perfect
Cause I know you’re worth it
You’re worth it
Yeah

[Chorus]
If I could say what I want to say
I'd say I wanna blow you away
Be with you every night
Am I squeezing you too tight
If I could say what I want to see
I want to see you go down
On one knee
Marry me today
Guess, I’m wishing my life away
With these things I’ll never say

It don’t do me any good
It’s just a waste of time
What use is it to you
What’s on my mind
If it ain’t coming out
We’re not going anywhere
So why can’t I just tell you that I care

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

What’s wrong with my tongue
These words keep slipping away
I stutter, I stumble
Like I’ve got nothing to say

[Pre-Chorus]

Guess I’m wishing my life away with these things I’ll never say
If I could say what I want to say
I'd say I wanna blow you away
Be with you every night
Am I squeezing you too tight
If I could say what I want to see
I want to see you go down
On one knee
Marry me today
Guess, I’m wishing my life away
With these things I’ll never say
These things I’ll never say

I have always loved this song, everyone feels this way at some point weather you admit it or not. There is always that awkward moment where you just want to pull out your hair, or you feel the heat rising to your cheeks, of course you don’t want anyone to see this frustration. In this song it refers all this emotion to the situation of talking to the boy you want to be “mr. right”. This isn’t always the case. Her songs are very often about situations with boys just like pretty much every other song you hear. I’m sure everybody has that moment at some point where they want to make a good impression and not come off like a total dork. If we could only say what we want to say… that moment happens when you are having a conversation with peers, or having a discussion in class. There is always something in the back of your mind that you feel the need to ask, but not wanting to come off as an ignorant person you just leave it in the back of your mind. She says multiple times I guess “I’m just wishing my life away” as human beings that is just what we do. Ever since third grade (may be a bit of exaggeration) I couldn’t wait to graduate and wished for that to come sooner every day. Now it is right around the corner and there is that little bit of regret that I didn’t let myself enjoy it more, because now you can welcome yourself to the real world! This line is true especially in relationships, why waste your time to start a relationship if you don’t see a future in it. But when you see that glimpse of future you anticipate it and think about it constantly. But of course there are those things you’ll never say.
