Thinking Of You
Isaac Hanson 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 in "Thinking of You" by Isaac Hanson revolve around a love that is distant and unobtainable. The song opens with the singer describing the feeling of being on the outside of a picket fence, looking in but unable to reach the inside. This reflects the sense of longing that characterizes the song as a whole. The singer is in love with someone but is not able to be with them, and this creates a sense of frustration and sadness throughout the song.
However, despite the distance and separation, the singer continues to think about the object of their affection and imagine what it would be like to be with them, to "fly the wings of an eagle / Glide along with the wind." The repetition of this phrase reinforces the idea that the singer is imagining a life with this person - a life full of freedom, adventure, and joy.
Overall, "Thinking of You" is a poignant and heartfelt look at the pain of unrequited love. The imagery of the picket fence, the eagle's wings, and the underlying longing all work together to create a powerful and emotional song.
