Twilight
BOA (UK) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tomorrow, today and yesterday
But it's a necessary evil
And you will find your way there
Your feelings and mine are all holy and
You give me an inner sanctity
You feel the same way that I do for you, about her
Your word and my word and her word is
Yesterday, today and tomorrow
And twilight gives me
An inner sanctity
And you're feeling
And you're hungry for her
And you don't understand it
But you know you haven't planned it
Your feelings and mine are all lonely
And dawn comes you're there lying with me
And you reach out to touch me
But I am in the twilight
Your feelings and mine are all holy but,
You know and I know it's untrue because
When day dawns you're there lying with me
And the dawn can fly away
And you know I love you but you know that
There's nothing you can do about it
Because you love her,
And you still want me
If I could be her...
But I'm not her and she's not me
And you're somewhere different
On a different planet
And you still want it
The inner sanctity
And it's an evil
But the evil is necessary
And you're still hungry for her
And you still want her loving
But she doesn't love you

And you know I love you but you know that
You're aware that I have feelings for you but
There's nothing you can do about it
You can't change how I feel
Because you love her,
Your heart belongs to someone else
And you still want me
But you still desire me
If I could be her...
If only I could be the other person
But I'm not her and she's not me
The three of us are different and unique individuals
And you're somewhere different

On a different planet

You still desire the love and affection of the other person
And you still want her loving
You still crave her love and affection
But she doesn't love you
The other person doesn't share your feelings of love and affection
