Unexpected Feeling
Gretta Ray Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So, I'd sing "I love you" if I felt that way
And I know
There have been moments where the words made sense
Though, I've been told that I'm a blind optimist
You have a tendency to step over the line
And it started up an argument too many a time
Why do we try if we know it won't last?
I don't understand why I started falling your way
Since you've been pushing all my buttons from the very first day
That unexpected feeling got me right by the waist
And it didn't let me go so in that case,
Stay with me baby
Look at all we have and hold it in your hands
And though our situation's crazy,
Quick, hold the curtains that are closing,
You and I are just opposing ends (?)
I sing the words I will not say
So, I'd sing "I hate you" if I felt that way
And I know
That there are times when I resist your touch
It's cause I never thought I'd disagree with someone so much
Oh, and when we fight, you simply wanna be a winner
And the patience that I had for you was slowly getting thinner
So I tried to walk away
And though I probably should, oh
It's hard when you look that good, yeah
So it's hard when you look that good
Do you understand why you started falling my way
Since I've been pushing all your buttons from the very first day
That unexpected feeling slapped you right in the face
And it's gonna be a hard one to embrace (?) so
Stay with me, baby
Look, I know I've been a little on the fence
It's cause our situation's crazy
Quick, hold the curtains that are closing,
You and I are just opposing
Stay with me, baby
We'll get all we have and hold it in your hands
And though our situation's crazy,
Quick, hold the curtains that are closing
You and I are just opposing ends
And we will watch as this ascends.

Line by Line Meaning
I sing the words I will not say
I express my unspoken thoughts through my music
So, I'd sing "I love you" if I felt that way
If I truly loved someone, I'd confess it through music
And I know
I'm aware
There have been moments where the words made sense
I have experienced moments where saying those unspoken words would have made sense
Though, I've been told that I'm a blind optimist
Although people have told me that I'm too optimistic and naive
You have a tendency to step over the line
You often cross boundaries
And it started up an argument too many a time
Your actions have caused too many arguments between us
Why do we try if we know it won't last?
Why do we make an effort even though we know it won't work out?
I feel like sand inside of your hour-glass
I feel like time is slipping away and I'm powerless to stop it
I don't understand why I started falling your way
I don't know why I developed feelings for you
Since you've been pushing all my buttons from the very first day
You've been getting on my nerves since the day we met
That unexpected feeling got me right by the waist
I was caught off guard by my sudden romantic attraction to you
And it didn't let me go so in that case,
I couldn't shake off my feelings for you
Stay with me baby
Don't leave me
Look at all we have and hold it in your hands
Let's cherish what we have together
And though our situation's crazy,
Even though our relationship is chaotic
Quick, hold the curtains that are closing,
Let's not let this end
You and I are just opposing ends (?),
We might have conflicting personalities or interests
So I'd sing "I hate you" if I felt that way
If I really hated you, I'd express it through music
That unexpected feeling slapped you right in the face
You were caught off guard by your sudden romantic attraction to me
And it's gonna be a hard one to embrace (?), so
It's going to be difficult to accept our feelings for each other
Look, I know I've been a little on the fence
I've been undecided about us
And we will watch as this ascends.
We'll see where our relationship goes
