love at first sight
Mat St.John Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let's suppose I lived right over there
Let's suppose we shared a kiss
On a night like this
Let's suppose we went too far
In the back seat of your car
Let's suppose we fell in love
And let's suppose we got engaged
Underneath that ol' Milky Way
And let's suppose we were complete
Wouldn't that be sweet
And let's suppose we found happiness
And built ourselves a nest
Let's supposed we had five kids
Like our grandparents did
And let's suppose our dreams came true
Just like they're supposed to do
And let's suppose we spent the rest of our lives together
But let's suppose sometimes we'd fight
When things weren't going right
Let's suppose you got tired of me
And our family
And let's suppose that we went broke
And we both just gave up hope
And let's suppose you left in a huff
Because you didn't love me enough
And let's supposed you found another man
And hit me in the head with a frying pan
And let's suppose I wound up dead
Underneath the bed
What would happen to the kids
After all that we did
Let's suppose we both better just think it over
So I suppose it's just hello
And that it's time for us to go
We got a little ahead of ourselves
Like everybody else
Maybe some other time
I suppose that'd be just fine
So until we meet again
I suppose we're just friends
But remember what they say
Cause it happens every day
I believe in love at first sight
So there, I said it
Good night
The song "Love at First Sight" by Mat St.John, is a song about the fleeting nature of love and the importance of taking things slowly. In the song, the singer imagines a life with his lover from the beginning of their relationship up until the end. He supposes that they shared a kiss, fell in love, got engaged, had five kids, and lived happily ever after. But then, reality sets in, and they fight, struggle financially, and grow apart. They both eventually move on, but the singer leaves the door open for a future possibility of rekindling their relationship.
The song reminds us that love at first sight is often just a temporary feeling, and that a real, lasting love takes time and effort. The singer recognizes that they may not be right for each other in the long run and that they should take things slow before rushing into a relationship. He is realistic about the ups and downs of love, and ultimately decides that they are better off as friends.
The lyrics of the song are cleverly written, as they take the listener on a journey through the different stages of a relationship. It highlights the importance of not rushing into something before fully understanding the person you are with.

Let's suppose you lived over here
Imagine if you lived closer to me
Let's suppose I lived right over there
Consider if I resided in close proximity to you
Let's suppose we shared a kiss
On a night like this
Picture us engaging in a romantic kiss on a night like tonight
Let's suppose we went too far
In the back seat of your car
Imagine if we became intimate in the back seat of a car
Let's suppose we fell in love
Like two turtle doves
Envision us falling deeply in love like a pair of devoted birds
And let's suppose we got engaged
Underneath that ol' Milky Way
Imagine if we got engaged under the starry sky
And let's suppose we were complete
Wouldn't that be sweet
If everything was perfect between us, it would be wonderful
And let's suppose we found happiness
And built ourselves a nest
Imagine us forming a happy home together
Let's supposed we had five kids
Like our grandparents did
Imagine us having a big family like our grandparents
And let's suppose our dreams came true
Just like they're supposed to do
If our aspirations came to fruition, just as they were meant to be
And let's suppose we spent the rest of our lives together
Envision us spending the remainder of our lives jointly
But let's suppose sometimes we'd fight
When things weren't going right
Consider the notion that we might disagree and argue when things turn for the worse
Let's suppose you got tired of me
And our family
Imagine if you became fed up with me and our family life
And let's suppose that we went broke
And we both just gave up hope
Picture us becoming financially unstable and losing hope for the future
And let's suppose you left in a huff
Because you didn't love me enough
Imagine if you storm out in a rage because your affection for me dwindled
And let's supposed you found another man
And hit me in the head with a frying pan
And let's suppose I wound up dead
Underneath the bed
Envision you finding another man and assaulting me with a frying pan, resulting in my death
What would happen to the kids
After all that we did
What would befall our children after all that we have been through
Let's suppose we both better just think it over
Maybe we should reconsider our approach
So I suppose it's just hello
And that it's time for us to go
I guess this is just a simple greeting and it's time for us to depart
We got a little ahead of ourselves
Like everybody else
Perhaps we were too hasty like many others
Maybe some other time
I suppose that'd be just fine
Perhaps another opportunity will arise, and that would be acceptable
So until we meet again
I suppose we're just friends
Until we meet again, we remain just friends
But remember what they say
Cause it happens every day
But just remember what they say, because it happens every single day
I believe in love at first sight
So there, I said it
I firmly believe in the concept of love at first sight, and that's the truth
Good night
Good night
