Wings
Lucinda Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're the one I've been waiting for
Let's fly away to some foreign country
Where nobody knows who we are
I wish I had a ship to sail the waters
I wish I had about a hundred dollars
But I'll just stand with this glass in my hand
Feeling like nothing even matters
I could swear I knew your love before I knew your name
Before I knew your name
Everyday I miss your smiling face
No one here can ever take your place
The sun can shine down over my town
But it never shines in my days
I told all the stars above
I'm gonna shower you with my love
I won't demand you I'll try to understand you
My love is free as a dove
Your words run through me like the blood in my veins
I could swear I knew your love before I knew your name
Before I knew your name
You're the one you're my shinin' star
You're the one I've been waiting for
Let's fly away to some foreign country
Where nobody knows who we are
The lyrics of Lucinda's song "Wings" speaks about the feeling of being in love and the desire to fly away to a far-off place with the person they love. The song starts with the person telling their lover that they are the one they have been waiting for, their shining star. They wish to go to a foreign country where nobody knows who they are, and they can be themselves without any judgment. The singer wishes for a ship to sail the waters and some money in their pocket, but they are content with just standing there with a glass in hand, feeling like nothing else matters.
The second verse talks about how every day, the singer misses their lover's smiling face and how no one can ever take their place. Even though the sun shines down over their town, it never shines in their days because they are not with their lover. They tell the stars about their love and how they will shower their lover with it without demanding anything in return. The singer believes that their love is as free as a dove.
The chorus repeats the lines from the beginning of the song, reiterating that the person they love is their shining star, and they want to fly away with them to a foreign country.
Overall, the song speaks about the powerful feeling of being in love, the desire to escape with the person you love, and the importance of valuing love without demanding anything in return.

Well, you’re the one, you’re my shining star
You’re the one I’ve been waiting for
Let’s fly away to some foreign country
Where nobody knows who we are
I wish I had a ship to sail the waters
I wish I had about a hundred dollars
But I just stand, with this glass in my hand
Feeling like nothing even matters
Your words run through me like the blood in my veins
I could swear I knew your love before I knew your name
Before I knew your name
Well, every day I miss your smiling face
And no one here can ever take your place
The sun can shine down over my town
But it never shines on my days
And I told all the stars above
That I’m going to shower you with my love
I won’t demand you; I’ll try to understand you
My love is as free as a dove
Your words run through me like the blood in my veins
I could swear I knew your love before I knew your name
Before I knew your name
Well, you’re the one, you’re my shining star
You’re the one that I’ve been waiting for
Let’s fly away to some foreign country
Where nobody knows who we are
