Coulda Woulda Shoulda
Dagny Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's always something to fix, isn't there?
There's always something you did If I think about it
There's always someone you miss, isn't there?
There's always something you could've, woulda, shoulda
But you never really got around to it

Ah-ah, ah-ah
Gotta get outta my head
Feel what I feel instead
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Looking at you now
I'm thinking

I'm just gonna let myself be loved, yeah
I'm just gonna give in to your touch, I know
I shouldn't think so fucking much, yeah, no more
Coulda, woulda, shoulda
I'm just gonna sit back and relax, yeah
I'm just gonna let the past be past, I know
I tend to focus on the bad but no more
Coulda, woulda, shoulda

You're always gonna drive me mad, aren't you?
I'm always gonna push your buttons 'cause I know just how
We want the things that we don't have, don't we? (Don't we?)
Somehow it seems the grass is always greener
But the taste is so much sweeter with your here

Ah-ah, ah-ah
Gotta get outta my head
Feel what I feel instead
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Looking at you now
I'm thinking

I'm just gonna let myself be loved, yeah
I'm just gonna give in to your touch, I know
I shouldn't think so fucking much, yeah, no more
Coulda, woulda, shoulda
I'm just gonna sit back and relax, yeah
I'm just gonna let the past be past, I know
I tend to focus on the bad but no more
Coulda, woulda, shoulda

(Ah)
(Oh-oh, oh-oh)
No more
Coulda, woulda, shoulda
(Ah)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
No more
Coulda, woulda, shoulda

There's always something to fix, isn't there?
There's always something you did if I think about it
There's always someone you miss, isn't there?
There's always something you coulda, woulda, shoulda

I'm just gonna let myself be loved, yeah
I'm just gonna give in to your touch, I know
I shouldn't think so fucking much, yeah, no more
Coulda, woulda, shoulda
I'm just gonna sit back and relax, yeah
I'm just gonna let the past be past, I know

Overall Meaning

In the song “Coulda Woulda Shoulda” by Dagny, the singer contemplates the missed opportunities and regrets that come along with any relationship. She reflects on the past decisions that she made that ultimately became costly mistakes. The verses of the song aptly describe how one always tends to ponder on the things that remained undone, and the things that one could have and should have done, but never got around to it, which causes them to linger in their thoughts. However, the chorus emphasizes on letting go of the past, and to focus on the present by embracing love and the touch of her current lover. Dagny concludes the song by repeating the lyrics from the verses, reminding her listeners that there is always something that they could've done differently to alter their past, but it is time to move forward and focus on the future.
