Thinking of You
Hanson(핸슨) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You could see through but you can't get to the inside
You sit there and wait
I look at you and anticipate
What we could be and what we could do
Fly the wings of an eagle
Glide along with the wind
I'll be thinking of you the whole time
Fly with wings of an eagle
Glide along with the wind
No matter how high
I'll be thinking of you the whole time
I'm carrying this heavy load
I don't know what to do
The only thing I know is that
I'm in love with you Oh
Fly the wings of an eagle
No matter how high
I'll be thinkin' of you
[Chorus: x2]
No matter how high
No matter how low
I'll be thinking of you
No matter what I do
No matter where I go
I'll be thinking of you
The lyrics of Hanson's "Thinking of You" describe the feeling of being in love with someone who seems just out of reach. The first verse sets the scene of the singer standing outside a picket fence, able to see what lies beyond but unable to reach it. The emotion in this verse is one of longing and anticipation, of waiting for the opportunity to cross over into the other side.
In the chorus, the singer expresses that no matter how high or low, no matter what they do or where they go, they will be thinking of this person they are in love with. The second verse continues with the theme of carrying a heavy load and not knowing what to do, but knowing only that it is this person they are in love with.
Overall, the song is a declaration of love and the persistence of that love, even when circumstances seem to impede on it. The use of the eagle as a metaphor for flying high and gliding with the wind creates a sense of freedom and hopefulness that the singer will one day be able to be with the one they love.

I never realize how much Zach supports Taylor’s lines when it comes to higher notes
@samlsmithmusic
This was seen as garbage pop shit at the time, the failure of the music industry, and now seems so much more real and genuine than just about anything today. We took for granted that this was a real group of great people playing for real, with great strong voices, singing harmony, having a blast...they did nothing to deserve that bad press!
@jamieroberts1985
Yeah for real. I respect them so much now didn't then but now I know what the fuss is all about they are amazing I have seen them twice live since 2020 they absolutely rock!

This song is as alive and fresh as the day it was made. Not many bands can do that. Severely underrated.
