If Only They Knew
A Rocket to the Moon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I could get lost in a voice like yours
Tell me if I'm wrong or right
Tell me I could stay tonight
It's in the way that you fool everyone
When you're fallin in love again
So tell me how this ends
'Cause no one knows you like I do
They don't see you like I do, baby
They'll try to, oh if only they knew
They'll never come close to you
Girl you know you got it, oh you know you do it better
(Girl you know you got it, oh you know you do it better)
Girl you know I want it, oh I want it more than ever
(Girl you know I want it, oh I know it's now or never)
'Cause no one loves you more than I do
They don't see you like I do, baby
They'll try to, oh if only they knew
They'll never come close to you
And you brighten up the world with your eyes
And you're so damn lonely when you're on my mind
'Cause you're the only one
'Cause no one knows you like I do
They don't see you like I do, baby
They'll try to, oh if only they knew
They'll never come close to you
They'll never come close to you
They'll try to, oh if only they knew
They'll never come close to you
The song "If Only They Knew" by A Rocket to the Moon is a love song that speaks of how the singer feels about the woman he loves. The first lines ask her to talk to him and tell him whether he's wrong or right, indicating that he values her opinion and wants her insights. He goes on to say that he could get lost in her voice and that he wants to stay with her for the night. The chorus is a declaration that the woman is misunderstood and that no one knows her as well as he does. He notes that they will never come close to understanding her, even if they try to.
The second verse repeats this theme, stating that the singer loves the woman more than anyone else and that no one sees her as he does. He also notes that she brightens up the world with her eyes but is lonely when she's on his mind. The final chorus is again a declaration that the woman is unique and misunderstood, and that no one will ever come close to understanding her as he does.
Overall, the song speaks to the strength and depth of the singer's love for the woman, and his understanding of her as a unique and special individual.
