Ryan & Sharpay Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You were always there beside me
Thought I was alone, with no one to hold
But you were always right beside me
This feeling's like no other
I want you to know
I've never had someone that knows me like you do
The way you do
I've never had someone as good for me as you
No one like you
So lonely before I finally found what I've been looking for
So good to be seen, so good to be heard
Don't have to say a word
For so long I was lost, so good to be found
I'm loving having you around
This feeling's like no other
I want you to know
I've never had someone that knows me like you do
The way you do
I've never had someone as good for me as you
No one like you
So lonely before I finally found what I've been looking for
Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do-do, wo-o-o-oah
Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do-do, wo-o-o-oah
The lyrics to Ryan & Sharpay's song "What I've Been Looking For" express a feeling of surprise and gratitude that the singer has finally found someone who truly knows and understands her. It starts with a line, "It's hard to believe that I couldn't see", which suggests that the singer had been blind to the presence of this person in her life until recently. The next line clarifies that the person was "always there beside me", which indicates that the singer was not actually alone, but was unaware of the support and love she had been receiving all along.
The chorus repeats the sentiment that the singer has never had anyone like this person before, who knows and understands her so well. The line "so good to be seen, so good to be heard" implies that the singer feels validated and appreciated by this person, without even needing to say anything. The second verse reaffirms this feeling of being lost and now being found, and loving the presence of this person in her life.
Overall, the song is about the joy of finally finding someone who truly knows and loves you, and the gratitude for that person's presence in your life.

@pao1246
they made us hate sharpay and ryan when they're the only ones that showed the effort, responsibility and preparation for theater, ffs they had a pretty choreo ready for the audition
@surai8766
in my opinion, everyone put in a good amount of effort and responsibility. i think they wanted us to “hate” them because they were a little stuck up and selfish yk?
