Overjoyed
Evan McKeel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've been building my castle of love
Just for two
Though you never knew you were my reason
I"ve gone much too far
For you now to say
That I've got to throw
Over dreams
I have picked out a perfect come true
Though you never knew it was of you I've been dreaming
The sand man has come
From too far away
For you to say come
Back some other day
And though you don't believe that they do
They do come true
For did my dreams
Come true when I looked at you
And maybe too if you would believe
You too might be
Overjoyed
Over love
Over me
Over hearts
I have painfully turned every stone
Just to find
I have found what I've
searched to discover
I come much too far
For me now to find
The love that I sought
Can never be mine
And though you don't believe that they do
They do come true
For did my dreams
Come true when I looked at you
And maybe too if you would believe
You too might be
Overjoyed
Over love
Over me
And though the odds say improbable
What do they know
For in romance
All true love needs is a chance
And maybe with a chance you will find
You too like I
Overjoyed
Over love
Over you
Over you
In Evan McKeel's song Overjoyed, the lyrics express the heartfelt emotions of a person who has been secretly building his “castle of love” for the person he loves. It seems like he has been holding his feelings tightly held, waiting for the right moment to reveal his true emotions to his love interest. He has been dreaming of her and hoping for a chance to be together with her. However, he realizes that he has gone too far with his feelings for her, as it seems like he has exhausted all possibilities of making her his. He has “painfully turned every stone” and has come across nothing that could make her love him. But still, he holds onto a sliver of hope, that maybe with a chance, she too might be overjoyed with love, over him.
The song depicts a sense of vulnerability, sacrifice, and unrequited love. The lyrics express the universal human sentiment of longing for love, which not everyone is lucky enough to attain. The castle imagery adds to the theme of love being unattainable, with the love interest being like a princess in a tower, high up and unreachably far away, and he is left with nothing but his “castle of love”, which he must throw away because his love cannot be returned.

Over time
As the years passed by
I've been building my castle of love
I have been crafting a beautiful relationship for us
Just for two
For you and me, only
Though you never knew you were my reason
Even though you were unaware, you were the reason behind everything I did
I've gone much too far
I have invested too much into this
For you now to say
It would hurt to hear you now say
That I've got to throw
That I need to discard
My castle away
All the hard work and love I have put into this relationship needs to be let go
Over dreams
In my imagination
I have picked out a perfect come true
I have envisioned the perfect outcome
Though you never knew it was of you I've been dreaming
I have been dreaming of us and the life we could have together, even though you never realized it
The sand man has come
I have waited an eternity
From too far away
But it's still not enough for you to come around
For you to say come
It would be great to hear you tell me to come back another day
Back some other day
Maybe someday things can be different
And though you don't believe that they do
Even though you doubt it could be true
They do come true
True love can actually happen
For did my dreams
Because my dreams
Come true when I looked at you
Came true when I first saw you
And maybe too if you would believe
Perhaps if you also believed
You too might be
You too could be
Overjoyed
As ecstatic as I am
Over love
As in love as I am
Over me
With me
Over hearts
Through emotional turmoil
I have painfully turned every stone
I have searched every possibility, even if it was difficult
Just to find
Only to realize
I have found what I've searched to discover
What I have been looking for but somehow it is out of my reach
I come much too far
I have come too close to give up now
For me now to find
But now I cannot find
The love that I sought
The love I have been seeking
Can never be mine
Is not meant for me
And though the odds say improbable
Even though it seems impossible
What do they know
Who are we to decide what is possible or not?
For in romance
In matters of the heart
All true love needs is a chance
All that is needed for true love to flourish is an opportunity
And maybe with a chance you will find
Perhaps with the right opportunity
You too like I
You could also feel
Overjoyed
What I feel
Over love
The kind of love that I have
Over you
With you

Where the blind version I can’t find it
@grey_raine4289
A little hard to be impressed with this performance considering we already heard him sing a bit of it at his blind audition.
