How Would It Be
Lene Marlin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What if it's too late now?
Did I do all I could, did I?
Did I make it good, did I?
Somehow it doesn't feel right
Is it really all over?
Did I think it through, did I?
And now
I won't see you again
The moment was there but we lost it
Time changed it all
And we let it
We let it happen
And now
I wonder how it would be
If things stayed the same and we liked it
The end of a search 'cause we found it
How would it be?
How would it be?
How would it be?
How would it be?
What have we done?
What if it's too late now?
Was it always like this, was it?
Was it something we missed, was it?
Somehow it doesn't feel right
Is it really all over?
Was it all it could be, was it?
Did I give you the best of me?
And now
I won't see you again
The moment was there but we lost it
Time changed it all
And we let it
We let it happen
And now
I wonder how it would be
If things stayed the same and we liked it
The end of a search 'cause we found it
How would it be?
How would it be?
How would it be?
How would it be?
And now
I won't see you again
The moment was there but we lost it
Time changed it all
And we let it
We let it happen
And now
I wonder how it would be
If things stayed the same and we liked it
The end of a search 'cause we found it
How would it be?
How would it be?
How would it be?
How would it be?
Lene Marlin's song "How Would It Be" is a reflective ballad about a lost love and the regrets that come with it. Marlin questions whether she did everything she could to make the relationship work, lamenting the possibility that it may be too late to fix things. She wonders if the relationship was everything it could have been and if they missed something along the way. She feels an emptiness without her former partner and imagines a world where they stayed together, without the complications of time and change.
The lyrics are full of introspection and self-doubt, as Marlin tries to make sense of the ending of her relationship. She is grappling with the idea that she may have let go of something that was truly valuable to her. The repetition of the phrase "how would it be" reflects her desire to know what could have been if things were different. The final lines of the song suggest a sense of resignation, as she accepts that time has moved on and that they have lost something special.
Overall, "How Would It Be" is a poignant exploration of loss and regret, with a powerful message about the importance of cherishing and fighting for the things we love before it's too late.

ร da ieri che sono in fissa con questa canzone! Non la conoscevo,l'ho scoperta per caso guardando in questi giorni dei video del Festivalbar,ero piccolino sono nato nel 1996 e ricordavo che nel 2005 c'erano canzoni come Bad day,Someday ecc...ma questa di Lene Marlin non la ricordavo ed รจ stata una piacevole scoperta! Mi sorprende che in molti video su YouTube di Lene Marlin ci sono molti commenti italiani...immagino che nei primi anni duemila da noi era molto seguita!
