Oh To Be Her
This is a beautiful song. The lyrics express a feeling of unrequited love and longing to be the person the narrator is in love with. The use of imagery such as "flash of light in the glim of your sky" and "I spend my hours in the shower" effectively convey the emotions and thoughts of the narrator. The pre-chorus and chorus really drive home the point of the song, which is the longing to understand why the object of their affection is so special and what they can do to change that. The bridge adds a poignant touch by highlighting the idea of missing out on something that may never have been there in the first place. Overall, this song has the potential to connect with a lot of people and evoke emotions.
Verse 1
I spend my days finding ways
to be a flash of light
in the glim of your sky
and I
I spend my nights fantasizing
about her eyes
wondering what’s so special that
you can’t see mine
Pre Chorus
and I hold my breath as she makes
you laugh
i put my best dress but you’re not
impressed
Chorus
if I could only kiss her
I’d leave it well enough alone
and maybe I would figure
what she has that I don’t
I’ve got enough to fill a river
from all of the tears that I’ve cried
she’s prettier
while I die inside
oh to be her
Verse 2
I spend my hours in the shower
I make up scenarios inside my head
oh that only makes me upset
I spend my weeks under my sheets
writing songs on my diary
oh it’s the only way
to feel less lonely
Pre Chorus
and all the words I write for you
is the closest that I’ll be to you
Chorus
if I could only kiss her
I’d leave it well enough alone
and maybe I would figure
what she has that I don’t
I’ve got enough to fill a river
from all of the tears that I’ve cried
she’s prettier
while I die inside
Bridge
imagine missing what you never had
imagine being something they’ll forget
or maybe just a memory from the past
Outro
baby I
I wanna be her
