The Impossible
Mariah Carey Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We were two little people wrapped up in this big old world
Drifting round in space out of place just a boy and girl
Then you took my hand and made me a part of you
And I looked in your heart
And saw all my dreams come true

You did the impossible (you did the impossible)
You rescued my love
You did the impossible (you did the impossible)
See, I had almost given up

And now I love ya like summer time, love ya like cherry wine
Love ya like free money, like a preacher loves Sunday
Love ya like freeze pop, love ya like a milk shake
Love ya like a high school girl on a first date
Love ya like shootin' stars, love ya like a muscle car,
Love ya like we're destined
Love ya like my lover and my best friend
Yeah, you did the impossible

Tonight I'm gonna need all your attention
Close the door
I wanna do things I probably shouldn't mention
Like a bird I'm gon' hum
Those three words, I love you, I love you, I love you

Freeze the time, let the world go by
If you're mine say, you love me, you love me, you love me
Boy take my hand and make me a part of you and the love that
You gave to me has pulled me through

You did the impossible (you did the impossible)
You rescued my love
You did the impossible (you did the impossible)
See, I had almost given up

And now I love ya like Sunsets, bubble baths on the jet
Love ya like kool-aid, Louis Millionaire shades
Love ya like sugar daddys, love ya like a pimp caddy
Love ya like a holiday Duncan Hines yellow cane
Love ya like it's five a.M. And I'm off work
Love ya like Louboutin Heels and a Mini Skirt
Love ya like an asher cut pink and white engagement ring
Love ya like layin' in bed bumpin Jodeci

And I'm forever your lady
Layin' in bed bumpin Jodeci
And I'm forever your lady
Layin' in bed bumpin Jodeci

And I'm forever your lady
(I love you like the sunsets in the evening) Layin' in bed bumpin Jodeci
(Like the shooting stars) (Layin' in bed bumpin Jodeci)
(And I'm forever your lady) I love you, oh! You did the Impossible

I'd almost given up





The impossible

Overall Meaning

In Mariah Carey's song The Impossible, she sings about how two people who felt small in a big world found each other and how her love interest did the impossible by rescuing her love when she had almost given up on finding it. The lyrics begin with the story of two people who were lost in the world and drifted aimlessly until they both found each other. It was then when Mariah's lover's love made her feel like all her dreams had come true.


In the chorus, Mariah sings that her lover did the impossible by rescuing her love. The impossible here refers to the difficult task of rescuing someone's love when they have lost all hope of finding it again. She compares the depth of her love to different things like summer time, cherry wine and a high-school girl on a first date, to name a few. In the second verse, Mariah expresses her desire to make her lover a part of herself as they are in love. She wants to freeze time and create moments that they can keep forever.


The song is all about the depth and beauty of love, how it can make the impossible possible and how it's worth holding on to even when things seem hopeless. The lyrics are uplifting and inspire listeners to keep believing in love no matter what.


Line by Line Meaning

We were two little people wrapped up in this big old world
We felt overwhelmed in a vast universe, feeling small and insignificant


Drifting round in space out of place just a boy and girl
We felt lost and aimless without a sense of direction or purpose


Then you took my hand and made me a part of you
You showed me that I don't have to feel alone and that we could create something special together


And I looked in your heart
I saw the sincerity and depth of your feelings for me


And saw all my dreams come true
I realized that my desires and aspirations were closely aligned with yours


You did the impossible (you did the impossible)
You accomplished something that seemed insurmountable or beyond reach


You rescued my love
You saved me from losing faith in love and helped me find hope again


See, I had almost given up
I was close to completely losing hope and giving up on love
