If
Bungalow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I were the only boy
Nothing else would matter in the world today
We could go on loving in the same old way
A garden of Eden, just made for two
With nothing to mar our joy
There would be such wonderful things to do
If you were the only girl in the world
And I were the only boy
A garden of Eden just made for two
With nothing to mar our joy
I would say such wonderful things to you
There would be such wonderful things to do
If you were the only girl in the world
And I were the only boy
The lyrics to "If" by Bungalow depict a romantic fantasy of a world where there are only two people in existence, and they are deeply in love. The singer imagines a perfect world, a garden of Eden, made for just the two of them, where nothing else matters. In this utopian world, he would say and do wonderful things for his partner, and their love would never be marred by any external factors.
The lyrics are reminiscent of classic love songs, with a simple yet poetic style that paints a vivid picture of a perfect romance. The use of the garden of Eden as a metaphor for the ideal relationship adds a touch of mysticism and suggests a sense of purity and innocence. The repetition of the chorus reinforces the idea that in this world, everything revolves around the love between the two protagonists, and nothing else matters.
Overall, the lyrics of "If" offer a romanticized, idealized view of love, portraying it as an all-consuming force that can overcome any obstacle, even the existence of the rest of the world.

Variable AJ i agree with you aswell, not many canadians are recognized for their talents.. except for fuckboy bieber and drake. I claim ignorance if there is more, but from what i know, it's like record labels turn blind eyes to canadians.. its a shame.
