She Could Be You
Shawn Hlookoff Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't know why
Everytime I look, I get shivers down my spine
You're such a beautiful face
I know those eyes
They take me back in time
She could be you
I wouldn't even know
She could be you
But that was long ago
She could be you
I wish that i could tell you
What you don't know
I dream about that day
But it's impossible
In another world,
I'll be yours tonight
But i can't break free from this life
She could be you
I wouldn't even know
She could be you
But that was long ago
She could be you
I see it all the time
I know it's true
A picture doesn't lie
She could be you
I wouldn't even know
She could be you
But that was long ago
She could be you
She could be you
She could be you
The lyrics of Shawn Hlookoff's song "She Could Be You" seem to be about a person haunted by a photograph of a beautiful woman. The singer says that every time he looks at the photograph, he feels shivers down his spine, suggesting that the woman in the photograph holds some power over him. The singer also seems to recognize the woman's eyes, which take him back in time, suggesting that he has some history or past relationship with her.
The chorus of the song is particularly poignant, as the singer wonders if the woman in the photograph could be the same person as someone he is currently interacting with. He wonders if this woman he is seeing now could be the same woman in the photograph he's haunted by. The singer says that he wouldn't even know, suggesting that the woman he's seeing now could be someone he's overlooking or not paying enough attention to.
The song seems to be full of longing and regret, as the singer wishes he could tell the woman in the photograph something important, but feels like it's impossible to do so. He dreams about being with her, but feels like he can't break free from his current life. Overall, it seems like the song is about lost love and the difficulty of moving on from powerful past relationships.
