We Could Still Belong Together
Lisa Loeb Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If I shut my eyes
If I disappear
Just for the afternoon
If I can't help shouting
If I lock you out
If it's not important
To anyone else but me
[Chorus]
We could still belong together
And together is much better
We're okay so hey don't worry now
Oh wow
If I interrupt and
If I cut you off and
If I like attention
Other worse things I could mention
[Chorus x 2]
But if you make a mistake
We're through
[Chorus x 2]
Oh wow.
Yes I complicated I know
It's just my way but
If is a question
That I ask and nothing more.

If I hold my breath
I am willing to go to any extent to make this work
If I shut my eyes
I am willing to close my eyes and ignore the problems
If I disappear
I am willing to step back for a while to sort things out
Just for the afternoon
It's not a permanent solution, just a temporary break
If I can't help shouting
Sometimes I get emotional, but I still want to work through it
If I lock you out
Sometimes I need space, but I don't want to lose you

Completely unimportant
Even if it doesn't matter to anyone else, it matters to me
