Ken Christianson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm not what you wanted, but I'm exactly what you need
I have been walking and I've been on my knees
I know you can't see us together, but I guarantee
C'mon now, don't you want to live it up?
Don't let that bird just slip away
C'mon now, don't you want to live it up?
I see you as you're dreaming and I can be your guide
This is how I'll always choose to know you
Always there by your side
C'mon now, don't you want to live it up?
Don't let that bird just slip away
C'mon now, don't you want to live it up?
Don't let that babe just slip away
The lyrics of the song "Window" by Ken Christianson seem to be about a person who is standing outside their lover's window, singing to them. The feeling of longing and yearning for someone who may not want them back is prevalent throughout the song. The singer states that they may not be what their lover wanted, but they are exactly what they need. They have been going through a difficult time, walking and on their knees, but they know that they and their lover belong together. Despite their conviction, they acknowledge that their lover may not see it that way.
The singer urges their lover not to let their love slip away, urging them to "live it up." However, the implication is that their lover may be hesitant to commit to a relationship, symbolized by the bird that will fly away if not captured. The singer sees their lover as they dream and sees themselves as the guide that will always be by their side. The lyrics are suggestive of a love that is true and real, but also fragile and uncertain.
