So Amusing
Brendan Ryan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The type of girl I knew I'd end up liking
Woah
Made all the gents' heads turn
With thoughts that love was to be earned by fighting
Woah
That's why I can't see
Cause I've always been one more for standing by
But that I know
The easy answer's to get up and go
But I'm still, regarding knowledge
So damn shy
Cause she was
Something unbelievable
And she was
Something that I needed
And yet
She was
For some reason, calling my name too
And I know that
We could
Be something so amusing
And I know that
I should
Get up and make the move
But it's so hard for me
To not leave it alone
She was a pretty girl
The type of girl who always changed the scenery
Woah
Blind to her own appeal and
Yet it's real that every time, she'd see me
Woah
Cause I mean, we'd been friends
But I always thought that'd just be how it'd end
But with all this news
It's changing all I see
And now we both know
And all I got to do is flash lights go
And clear the air for something we could be
Cause she was
Something unbelievable
And she was
Something that I needed
And yet
She was
For some reason, calling my name too
And I know that
We could
Be something so amusing
And I know that
I should
Get up and make the move
But it's so hard for me
To not leave it alone
She was a pretty girl
She still is and I know she always will be
Woah
But with my doubts, I'm very fast to
Throwing her straight in the past
And it kills me
Woah
And she's right there
Yeah, she probably thinks that I don't care
Cause she knows I know and yet I'm standing still
So say goodnight
And say good morning to that grim hindsight
When I'm kicking myself for sticking with my will
Cause she is
Something unbelievable
And she is
Something that I needed
And yet
She is
For some reason, calling my name too
And I know that
We could
Be something so amusing
And I know that
I should
Get up and make the move
But it's so hard for me
Yeah, it's so hard for me
Yeah, it's so hard for me
To not leave it
Alone
Oh, to not leave it alone
The lyrics of Brendan Ryan's song "So Amusing" describe the singer's feelings towards a pretty girl who has caught his attention. At first, he is aware of her attractiveness and acknowledges that she can turn heads with her presence. However, he also realizes that she seems to believe in the idea of love being earned through conflict or challenges, which makes him doubt if she could ever be interested in someone like him, who prefers to stand by rather than fight. This uncertainty makes him hesitant to believe when he hears that she may actually have feelings for him, as he has always been more of an observer than a participant.
Despite his doubts, the singer recognizes that the girl is something extraordinary and also something he needs in his life. He feels a strong connection to her, as if she is calling his name. He considers that their relationship could become something entertaining or amusing if he takes the initiative and makes a move. However, he acknowledges that it is difficult for him to overcome his shyness and not leave things as they are.
As the story continues, the singer describes the girl's beauty and how she unknowingly mesmerizes him. But due to his doubts and insecurities, he is quick to push her away and consider her as part of his past, which saddens him. He understands that she probably thinks he doesn't care about her because he knows the truth but remains stagnant without taking action. The singer reflects on the regret he may feel in the future for not following his instincts and allowing himself to be bound by his willpower.
In the end, the singer reaffirms that the girl is something remarkable and important to him, someone he truly needs. He acknowledges that she also seems to be calling his name, indicating a mutual attraction. He understands that they could have something enjoyable and unconventional, but he struggles with the difficulty of breaking out of his comfort zone and initiating change. The repetition of "it's so hard for me" emphasizes his internal battle between fear and desire, and his reluctance to leave things as they are.

She was a pretty girl
There was this attractive girl I met
The type of girl I knew I'd end up liking
I could tell she was the kind of girl I would develop feelings for
Woah
Expressing surprise or awe
Made all the gents' heads turn
She captured the attention and admiration of all the men
With thoughts that love was to be earned by fighting
She had the belief that love had to be fought for and earned
That's why I can't see
This is the reason why I fail to see
When someone told me she was fond of me
When I was informed that she had feelings for me
Cause I've always been one more for standing by
Because I've always been more inclined towards staying on the sidelines
But that I know
However, I am aware
The easy answer's to get up and go
The simpler solution would be to act and make a move
But I'm still, regarding knowledge

She was the kind of girl who constantly sought new experiences and environments
Woah
Expressing surprise or awe
Blind to her own appeal and
Unaware of her own attractiveness and
Yet it's real that every time, she'd see me

Woah
Expressing surprise or awe
Cause I mean, we'd been friends
Because, you know, we had been friends

It's altering my perspective and perception of things

However, due to my uncertainties, I'm quick to
Throwing her straight in the past
Dismiss her as a possibility from the start
And it kills me
And it deeply saddens me
Woah
Expressing surprise or awe
And she's right there
And she is right there
Yeah, she probably thinks that I don't care
Yes, she probably believes that I have no interest
Cause she knows I know and yet I'm standing still
Because she knows that I am aware, yet I remain motionless
So say goodnight
So bid farewell for the night
And say good morning to that grim hindsight
And embrace the regretful realization in the morning
When I'm kicking myself for sticking with my will
When I'm reproaching myself for stubbornly holding onto my own desires

Yeah, it's so hard for me
Yes, it's so difficult for me
To not leave it
To not abandon it
Alone
By itself
Oh, to not leave it alone
Oh, to not leave it by itself
