Picture Of You
Diesel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You look so sturdy from your head to yo' feet
I wish you knew what was on my mind
You'd probably tell me that you're not that kind
You've been blowin' my mind
I don't care that I might be just wasting my time
There's something that I'm dreaming of
Is it you
Is it you
Lookin' straight at me
Don't turn away
I know there's something that you gotta say
You wanna show things that are under the table
Look on your face say you're willin' and able
I've been thinking of you
Are you thinking of me too
I've been spending my time
Looking at a picture of you
I've committed no crime
Lookin' at this picture of you
Just want you to know
You're so fine
You blow my mind
There's words for you that I just can't find
All I know and all I feel
Tells me that it can't be real
All the things I want to say
I'll talk to you another day
The lyrics in Diesel's song "Picture of You" describe the singer's infatuation with someone he sees walking down the street. The object of his affection looks strong and confident, but he doesn't believe she would be interested in him. Despite this, he dreams of a connection with her and wonders if she feels the same way. The singer longs for a deeper connection with her, but feels that he can't truly express his feelings or reveal what's "under the table." Instead, he spends his time looking at a picture of the person he desires, wondering if they will ever really connect.
