Valentine
Bandcamp Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Only the best of me comes out when you're around
Only the best of me exists since I've found
Someone that won't let go
Someone that lets me know
No matter what she'll always be there when I fall

[CHORUS]
Well I never really knew how to say these words to you

This is the best I can do
I'll find the perfect rhyme with one question in mind
Will you be mine?
My valentine
I tried to forget you but I'm always thinking about
Someones who's perfect and it's you I figured out
You belong with me
You deserve to see that things can be better you can be happy for a while

[CHORUS]
Fell back and tried to fake it
Realized I couldn't take it
Sat back and saw you were further away
I let you slip right through me
Then realized how things should be
I'll attempt to just ask you this once
I'll ask you this once
Well I never really knew how to say these words to you
This is the best I can do
I'll find the perfect rhyme with 1 question in mind
Give it some time, yeah
Well I never really knew how to say these words to you
This is the best I can do
I'll find the perfect rhyme with 1 question in mind

Will you be mine
Will you be mine, my valentine

Overall Meaning

The first verse of Bandcamp's "Valentine" reveals the transformative power of love. The singer declares that only the best version of themselves emerges when their beloved is present, and that this better self has only come into existence since they found someone who supports and encourages them. The chorus confronts the singer's reluctance to confess their feelings, admitting that they have struggled to find the right words to express their love, but they promise to try their best. The singer says they will find the perfect rhyme, and they have one question in mind: "Will you be mine?"

The second verse explores the fear of losing one’s beloved due to their own mistakes. The singer admits that they tried to forget the person, but they couldn't get them out of their mind. They came to the realization that the person they were thinking about was the perfect match for them. They admit that the person deserves to be happy and promises to make their life better and happier if they choose to be with them. The bridge provides a turning point in the song – the singer acknowledges their mistakes, but they refuse to let the person they love slip through their fingers. They vow to ask for their love, even if it feels uncomfortable or intimidating to do so.
