Tell Me Your Name
Christian Bautista Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Please tell me your name
Just when i thought this could one of those boring games
You walked into this feelings
You looked at me and smiled
My heart unfroze and started going wild
Can you imagine this
A return to wondering
If the magic of love was this
You merely said "hello"
And my mind did a stop and go
Can it possibly be the future for me is you
Tell me your name i must know
Won't you tell me your name
I'm not insane
Just frightened that you might go
Don't go please stay beside me
And wait 'till i can tell you all my schemes
Chasing rainbows spinning dreams
Finding someone to love like you...

The line, "Can it possibly be the future for me is you" shows the extent of the persona's attraction towards the other person, enough to think about a future together.
Overall, the song expresses the joy and excitement of falling in love for the first time, as well as the fear and anxiety of rejection.
