Yes
David Anthony Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

She moved into my old apartment
That's how we got this whole thing started
She called and said that I had mail waiting there for me
I told her that I'd come and get it
How could I know in just a minute
That I'd be standing face to face with my own destiny
Oh, and we sat there talkin' just like we were old friends
Oh, then I ask her can I see you again

She said, 'Yes'
'N I said wow
I said how about right now
Love can't wait
'N I asked if she believed in fate
And she said, 'Yes'

The days flew by like a fast train
Nothin' else has been on my brain
Except the thought of how she makes me the man I want to be
She's the one I want for a million reasons
And loving her is just like breathin'
It's easy and it's obvious she was made for me
Oh, then it happened one night lookin' into her eyes
And when I popped the question much to my surprise

She said, 'Yes'
'N I said wow
I said how about right now
Love can't wait
'N I asked if she believed in fate
And she said, 'Yes'

So I called the preacher, family, and friends
And nothin's been the same since

She said, 'Yes'
'N I said wow
I said how about right now
Love can't wait

'N I asked if she believed in fate
And she said, 'Yes'

Line by Line Meaning

She moved into my old apartment
My now-fiancé first entered my life when she took up residence in the dwelling I formerly inhabited

That's how we got this whole thing started
The commencement of our relationship can be attributed to the aforementioned incident

She called and said that I had mail waiting there for me
One day, my beloved rang me up to alert me about some letters addressed to me that had arrived at the aforementioned address

I told her that I'd come and get it
In response, I conveyed that I would retrieve them in person

How could I know in just a minute
It is incredible to consider that I had no inkling whatsoever how one instant could change my life

That I'd be standing face to face with my own destiny
However, as soon as I met her, I realized that I had encountered my soul mate and future spouse

Oh, and we sat there talkin' just like we were old friends
As we conversed, it felt like we were long-time acquaintances engrossed in friendly dialogue

Oh, then I ask her can I see you again
After we parted ways, I could not wait to see her anew, so I eagerly asked if she wished to meet up again

She said, 'Yes'
Much to my delight and surprise, she gave me a positive response

'N I said wow
I was absolutely amazed by her answer

I said how about right now
I was so smitten with her that I wanted to spend more time with her right away

Love can't wait
When true love arises, it cannot be delayed or put on hold

'N I asked if she believed in fate
I also inquired as to whether she thought our encounter owed something to an unseen supernatural force

And she said, 'Yes'
Again, to my great pleasure, she replied in the affirmative

The days flew by like a fast train
Subsequently, time seemed to fly by rapidly

Nothin' else has been on my brain
During this period, I could not focus on anything else apart from her

Except the thought of how she makes me the man I want to be
However, when I did think about her, it was only how she inspires me to become a better recipient of her love

She's the one I want for a million reasons
I knew in my heart of hearts that she was the perfect partner for me for many countless reasons

And loving her is just like breathin'
Furthermore, being in love with her feels as natural, effortless, and essential as breathing itself

It's easy and it's obvious she was made for me
It is clear to both of us that we are an ideal match for each other, and that our lives were meant to be intertwined

Oh, then it happened one night lookin' into her eyes
As I gazed deep into her eyes one evening, I knew that the time had come to take the next step

And when I popped the question much to my surprise
To her utter astonishment, I proposed marriage to her

So I called the preacher, family, and friends
After she said yes, I promptly informed my clergyman, loved ones, and close friends of our engagement

And nothin's been the same since
From that poignant moment forward, everything in our lives has been different and better as a result of our love and commitment to one another
