The Thought of Loving You
Michael Benjamin Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

how do I know
what it feels to feel you?
how do I know
what it means to be in love?

I've been living inside my mind way too long
can't get my thoughts together
darling I can't tell right from wrong

but I still
I still love the thought of loving you
and I still
I still love the thought of all of this
will it ever be enough?

how do I know
what it means to be all yours?
how do I know
if I should go and move on

I've been living inside my mind way too long
can't get my thoughts together
darling I can't tell right from wrong

but I still
I still love the thought of loving you
and I still
I still love the thought of all of this

will it ever be enough?
will it ever be enough?

Overall Meaning

In "The Thought of Loving You," Michael Benjamin reflects on the complexities of love and the uncertainty that comes with it. The lyrics revolve around the singer's struggle to understand what it truly means to love someone and to be loved in return. They question their own emotions and wonder if their feelings are enough to sustain a relationship.

The opening lines, "how do I know what it feels to feel you? / how do I know what it means to be in love?" convey a sense of longing and curiosity. The singer is uncertain about their own ability to fully experience love and is seeking answers. They have been introspective for too long, living inside their own mind and unable to sort out their thoughts. This confusion is highlighted in the line, "darling I can't tell right from wrong," indicating that they are grappling with making decisions and understanding what is best for them in love.

Despite the uncertainty and confusion, the singer admits that they still love the idea of loving the person in question. The repetition of "I still love the thought of loving you" emphasizes their ongoing affection, even though they are unsure if it will ever be enough. The last verse adds another layer of uncertainty, as the singer wonders if they should move on or stay devoted.
