For a long time Spotify had C Duncan listed as C. Duncan, but they corrected it now.
Impossible
C. Duncan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I sat and waited here for you
And you were there
And you were there in another room
It's impossible to tell you about what I'm dreaming after all
It's impossible to tell you about how I'm feeling after night fall
When you live on the other side of town
I sat you down
I sat you down on a saturday
I gave you wine
I gave you wine then you went away
And I have waited
I have waited a long long time
To make you mine
To make you mine for another dar day
It's Impossible to tell you about what I'm thinking, oh
It's impossible to tell you about what I'm doing after dark
It's impossible to tell you about what I'm dreaming after all
It's impossible to tell you about how I'm feeling after night fall
When you live on the other side of town
When you live on the other side of town
When you live on the other side of town
When you live over there
The lyrics to C. Duncan's song "Impossible" depict a sense of longing and distance in a relationship. The singer is waiting for someone, sitting and hoping for their presence, but they remain in another room, physically and emotionally separated. The first verse suggests the frustration of being unable to communicate one's dreams and emotions to the other person. Despite living in close proximity, they feel worlds apart.
In the second verse, the singer recounts a specific moment when they sat the person down, perhaps trying to confront their feelings and make a connection. However, despite offering wine and their time, the person still left. The singer has been waiting for a long time to make this person their own, to have them in their life for another day. The repetition of the line "It's impossible to tell you" further emphasizes the difficulty in expressing oneself and bridging the emotional gap in the relationship.
Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of unrequited love and frustration. The singer longs to connect with the person they desire, but the distance between them, both physically and emotionally, makes it impossible to convey their true feelings and desires.
Line by Line Meaning
I sat and wait
I patiently waited for you
I sat and waited here for you
I remained in this place, eagerly anticipating your arrival
And you were there
But you were present elsewhere
And you were there in another room
And you were in a separate room, distant from me
It's impossible to tell you about what I'm dreaming after all
It's challenging to convey to you the content of my dreams
It's impossible to tell you about how I'm feeling after night fall
It's difficult to express the emotions I experience after nightfall
When you live on the other side of town
Since you reside far away on the opposite side of town
When you live over there
When you have your dwelling in that direction
I sat you down
I made you sit
I sat you down on a saturday
I made you sit on a specific Saturday
I gave you wine
I offered you wine
I gave you wine then you went away
After I provided you with wine, you departed
And I have waited
And I have been patient
I have waited a long long time
I have endured a significant period of waiting
To make you mine
To have you as my own
To make you mine for another day
To possess you further for another day
It's impossible to tell you about what I'm thinking, oh
It's arduous to convey to you the thoughts occupying my mind, oh
It's impossible to tell you about what I'm doing after dark
It's challenging to inform you about my actions during the nighttime hours
When you live on the other side of town
Since you reside far away on the opposite side of town
When you live over there
When you have your dwelling in that direction
When you live on the other side of town
Since you reside far away on the opposite side of town
When you live over there
When you have your dwelling in that direction

I love the narrative of the video as it really creates empathy for Memphis Jenkins. The song is a great evolution of C Duncan’s voice, sound, and lyrics as well. Wonderful!
