Meg Ryan Would Play You In The Movie
Broadway Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Just know it's getting easier to breathe.
And I know, what your thinking, its not a waste of time.

Failed the conformation, from your lips.
You let me know that I, am worth this.
With this done, to much trouble.
Couldn't stop listing all of the things that could keep us apart.
Maybe one day when we look back upon this.
We'll sit back and laugh at the things that can honestly make us doubt.

[x2]
Lets take our time.
Cause I just know,
That watching your romance is a guaranteed killer.
That will leave us dead in the wake.

[x2]
It's getting kind of hard to take it slow.
When I am up all night thinking about you.
It doesn't even matter how long it takes.
I'd be okay because we'd be together some day.

Waiting and hoping for the next time.
Were together and staying up all night
Waiting and hoping for the next time.
I get to stare into your eyes!

[x2]
Lets take our time.
Cause I just know,
That watching your romance is a guaranteed killer.
That will leave us dead in the wake.

But they don't understand they try their hardest to break us apart.
They try to say that we were doomed straight from the start.
But we know the truth and thats good enough for us.

[x4]
It about time I escape the shallow end of the pool.




This feels like something real.
I am moving away from you

Overall Meaning

The opening line "Just know it's getting easier to breathe" hints at a sense of relief and peace, possibly from some form of emotional or mental tension in the past. The singer acknowledges the thoughts of doubt that may exist in their lover's mind, but they are reassured that their time is not being wasted. The line "Failed the conformation, from your lips" represents a moment where the lover expressed their doubts or fears to the singer, but the singer is glad that they were deemed worthy of being pursued despite this.


The song paints a picture of two people taking their time to explore the possibilities of their relationship. They recognise that watching someone else's romance can create a sense of longing and impatience, but they are willing to wait for the right time to commit. The line "They try to say that we were doomed straight from the start, but we know the truth" may hint at external opinions that may not be positive about the couple's future, but the couple is determined to stick to their own instincts and feelings. However, towards the end of the song, the singer mentions that they are moving away from the person which could indicate that things didn't necessarily go as planned.
