Amanda
Asia/Boston Lyrics

Babe, tomorrow's so far away
Looking to express his feelings, the singer mentions that time feels like it's dragging on forever.

There's something I just have to say
Describing his need to tell someone how he feels.

I don't think I can hide what I'm feelin' inside
Being unable to bottle up these emotions, he recognizes the need to express them.

Another day
Although time and distance make him contemplate putting off telling the person he loves, he cannot help but dwell on this each day.

Knowin' I love you
Reflecting on his own feelings that validate to him the need to convey his sentiment.

And I, I'm getting too close again
Expressing how close he feels to saying what he wants to tell her.

I don't want to see it end
Acknowledging the possible end to their bond, this line stands as a source of motivation to tell her how he truly feels.

If I tell you tonight
Expressing his wish to tell her tonight, even in the face of hesitancy.

Would you turn out the lights
The physical act of switching off the lights signifies the idea of ending it altogether.

And walk away knowin' I love you?
The thought of her knowing how he feels as they part remains a fear he has yet to train his mind beyond.

I'm gonna take you by surprise
Knowing that she does not see this coming, he is determined to let her know how he feels.

And make you realize
Assuring her that he is willing to do the convincing on his own and will make it so no doubts remain.

Amanda
Her very name sparks a sense of overwhelming emotion that he is keen to express.

I'm gonna tell you right away
Wanting to let her know as soon as possible.

I can't wait another day
Conveying the need to tell her without any more delay.

I'm gonna say it like a man
Opting to be straightforward in his expression instead of leaving any room for ambiguity.

And make you understand
Ensuring that her understanding of his feelings is crystal clear to avoid any misunderstandings.

Amanda (oh girl)
Uttering her name again, he emphasizes the importance of this conversation - maybe the most important one ever.

You and I
Confirming their union as one, the bond they share.

I know that we can't wait
The timing is important, and he cannot fathom any further postponements.

And I swear, I swear it's not a lie girl
Promising her that his intentions, words, and feelings are genuine and true.

Tomorrow may be too late
Recognizing the importance of not delaying this conversation any longer.

We can share a life together
Highlighting the importance of the long-term commitment 'love' represents.

It's now or never
Putting the immediacy of confessing his love forward, the artist is bold and clear on what he wants.

And tomorrow may be too late (oh-oh)
Time is of the essence and he cannot wait any longer to express his emotions.

And, feelin' the way I do
Acknowledging the depth of what he feels and the importance of transparency going forward.

I don't want to wait my whole life through
Expressing that delaying this conversation would be against everything that he believes in.

To say I'm in love with you
Conveying the most substantial and perhaps most difficult sentiment to withdraw.
