Three Words
Junior Boys Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
More than for a day
You stayed the same, wild
And were that way
Don't you want me a whole man?
You can't pretend that you're not sentimental too
I know
I know you
Say what you will
And call me what you want
But those years you spent away
How I wish you stayed
But it's still too little too
When you start playing like you're everybody's fool
'Cause I know you, yeah
Are you still awake?
We can keep things the same
In time things fade
But why can't I really wait?
Don't you want me here so
I can offer you three words so true?
Like I know you
The lyrics of Junior Boys' "Three Words" are contemplative and introspective, with a sense of longing and reminiscing. The first verse seems to describe a person who shines brightly and wild, but has remained consistent over time. The singer then asks if this person wants them as a whole man, acknowledging that they both have sentimental tendencies. This suggests a deep connection between them that has lasted over time. The chorus expresses a desire for the other person to stay, even though they have been away for years. It seems like the singer wants to keep things the same and doesn't want to lose the deep connection they share, even if it's too little too late.
The second verse continues with a plea for the other person to stay, even if they start "playing like everybody's fool." The singer knows this person well and accepts them for who they are, faults and all. The bridge suggests that the singer wants to offer the other person three words that are true and heartfelt, but it's unclear what those words are. The song ends with a sense of uncertainty and a yearning for connection.
Overall, the lyrics of "Three Words" express a desire for connection and acceptance, even in the face of imperfection and distance. The singer seems to be willing to forgive and accept the other person, even if they have made mistakes or been away for a long time.
Line by Line Meaning
Shine in every light
You stand out and attract attention no matter the situation
More than for a day
Your shining presence is not just temporary, but consistent
You stayed the same, wild
You maintained your untamed and uncontrolled nature throughout
And were that way
You embraced your wildness and made it your defining trait
Don't you want me a whole man?
Do you desire me to be complete and fully realized as a person?
You can't pretend that you're not sentimental too
You also have emotions and feelings, despite possibly acting indifferent
I know
I understand and recognize this fact
Say what you will
Speak your mind and express your thoughts
And call me what you want
Refer to me by any name or label you choose
But those years you spent away
The time you were gone and not in my life
How I wish you stayed
I deeply desire that you remained with me instead of leaving
But it's still too little too
However, any effort now to make up for lost time is insufficient
When you start playing like you're everybody's fool
When you act foolishly and allow others to take advantage of you
'Cause I know you, yeah
I am familiar with your personality and characteristics
Are you still awake?
Are you currently alert and conscious?
We can keep things the same
We can maintain the current situation and not change anything
In time things fade
Over time, everything loses its intensity and vibrancy
But why can't I really wait?
But why can't I resist the urge to move on and wait for something more?
Don't you want me here so
Do you desire for me to be present with you right now?
I can offer you three words so true?
Can I express my true feelings for you through three simple words?
Like I know you
Because I know you and understand our relationship
