Heaven knows
Jenny And The Mexicats Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
′Cause heaven knows how much I
I might have been loved
And I'm a heartless bitch, you know
And what I carry across to others ain′t the full extent
Of what I know
Follow my wings, follow my heart
Let me burn
Wait a while
'Cause heaven knows how much I
I might have been loved
I′m drift, drifting away on a boat that left today
Follow my wings, follow my heart
I′m on fire
Let me burn
Wait a while
'Cause heaven knows how much I
I might have been loved
The lyrics of "Heaven knows" by Jenny And The Mexicats are intriguing and filled with intense emotions. The song seems to be about the uncertainties of love and the singer's inability to understand the depth of someone's love for them. The lines "Wait a while 'Cause heaven knows how much I, I might have been loved" imply that the singer is aware that they may have missed out on the possibility of being loved deeply by someone. However, the reasons for this uncertainty are not clear.
The second stanza contains the lines "And I'm a heartless bitch, you know, And what I carry across to others ain't the full extent of what I know." These lines suggest that the singer may have some internal personal struggles that cause them to not be open to love or to understand it fully. The singer seems to be aware of their limitations and wishes to be followed in their journey to explore love. The line "Follow my wings, follow my heart" sounds like an invitation for someone to join the singer on their journey of discovery.
The last stanza further reinforces the uncertainty theme, "I'm drift, drifting away on a boat that left today." The singer seems to accept that they may have lost their chance at finding love and are now "drifting away" on a boat that has already sailed. Overall, the lyrics suggest that the singer is looking for someone to love but may have difficulty understanding and embracing love due to personal limitations.
