When You See Me
Jerry-Jerr Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A beautiful, wonderful spark
I was dancing so so bad
But you kept hitting the mark
Who you were, I had to know
Something about you compelled me
Tried to muster all I had
Wonderful, marvelous, beautiful, and kind
Amazing and brilliant, a spark of bright light
I first talked to you, Fourth of July
It was storming and dark outside
We played and sang our worries away
With the music and our hearts as our guides
Wonderful, marvelous, beautiful, and kind
Amazing and brilliant, a spark of bright light
Even without the spotlight you shine
Your voice and your heart, it shines
Through the night
I first walked with you that summer night
After the day was done
I did all of that crazy stuff
Cause for you my heart was won
Marvelous, wonderful, beautiful, kind
Amazing and brilliant, a spark of bright light
Even without the spotlight you shine
Your voice and your heart, it shone through the night
But you'd never know never know
Even so even so
Wanted to tell you wanted to say
But I'd always say I'll tell her another day
Wonderful, marvelous, beautiful, kind
Amazing and brilliant, a spark of bright light
The song "When You See Me" by Jerry-Jerr is about a person who falls in love with someone they meet at a dance. They are captivated by the person's beauty and kind personality, but unfortunately, they are already in a relationship. The singer tries to get close to the person, playing music and sharing experiences on the Fourth of July. The singer tries to win the person's heart by doing all kinds of things but never gets a chance to tell them how they really feel.
The lyrics convey a sense of longing and unrequited love. The singer is smitten but cannot act on their feelings. They admire the person's qualities and enjoy spending time with them, but they know they cannot be together. The singer's struggle with their emotions is evident in the lines "But you'd never know never know, Even so even so, Wanted to tell you wanted to say, But I'd always say I'll tell her another day." The singer's anguish is palpable as they wish they could confess their feelings but cannot.
Symbolically, the song is about the pain of unrequited love, the longing for affection and connection with someone who is unattainable. It represents the struggle of being in love with someone but not having the courage to tell them how you feel. The melody is soft and slow-paced, matching the mood of the lyrics.
