R
College Lyrics

The lyrics of College's song "R" are drenched in classic romanticism with a palpable sense of love and devotion throughout. The song captures the essence of a love that can endure time and obstacles. The first stanza conveys an unwavering loyalty towards someone who is the epitome of happiness and joy in the singer's life, and this person is so important that they will always be around. The line "you are the apple of my eye" emphasizes the deep affection for this person and the fact that they occupy a very special place in the singer's heart. The second stanza is equally vocative, and the singer declares that they have loved this person for a million years, again emphasizing that this is a love that has not only stood the test of time but has also matured. The last two lines in this stanza stand out as particularly poignant, conveying a deep sense of vulnerability as the singer expresses their fear of losing this love, confessing that they would find themselves drowning in tears if they thought our love was ending.

The third stanza of the song is indicative of the role this person has played in the singer's life. It appears that at some point, the singer felt lonely, and this person unexpectedly "came to their rescue." The line "how could so much love be inside of you?" echoes a sense of disbelief in the sheer magnitude of love that the singer feels for this person, and it is a powerful statement that encapsulates the central theme of the song.

There is no doubt that "R" is a love song about the most important person in the life of the singer. What is particularly interesting about the song is its structure, as the verses are relatively simple as there is a lot of repetition, which makes the verses sound steady and of the moment. What changes and makes the song more interesting is the chorus. It is rich, full, and a contrast to the rest of the song's simplicity. It is almost like the song is a celebration of the love, and the chorus is the fireworks that set the tone for that celebration.
