I Would
One Direction(원 디렉션) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Been dreaming about you a lot
And up in my head I'm your boyfriend
But that's one thing you've already got
He drives to school every morning
While I walk alone in the rain
He'd kill me without any warning
Would he say he's in L-O-V-E
Well if it was me then I would
Would he hold you when you're feeling low
Baby you should know that I would
Would he say he's in L-O-V-E
Well if it was me then I would
Would he hold you when you're feeling low
Baby you should know that I would
Back in my head we were kissing
I thought things were going alright
With a sign on my back saying kick me
Reality ruined my life
Feels like I'm constantly playing
A game that I'm destined to lose
'Cause I can't compete with your boyfriend
He's got twenty seven tattoos
Would he say he's in L-O-V-E
Well if it was me then I would
Would he hold you when you're feeling low
Baby you should know that I would
Would he say he's in L-O-V-E
Well if it was me then I would
Would he hold you when you're feeling low
Baby you should know that I would
Would he please you
Would he kiss you
Would he treat you like I would
Would he touch you
Would he need you
Would he love you like I would
Would he say he's in L-O-V-E
Well if it was me then I would
Would he hold you when you're feeling low
Baby you should know that I would
Would he please you
Would he kiss you
Would he treat you like I would
Would he touch you
Would he need you
Would he love you like I would
Would he say he's in L-O-V-E
Well if it was me then
I would, I would
Would he hold you when you're feeling low
Baby you should know that I would
I would, I would yeah
The central theme of One Direction's "I Would" revolves around a guy who secretly loves a girl currently in a relationship with someone else. He is always thinking about her, dreaming about her, and wishes that he could be with her. However, he acknowledges that she already has a boyfriend, who is more attractive in every aspect. The singer feels that he cannot compete with him, and admits his own failure by mentioning a sign that says "kick me."
The singer expresses genuine interest in the girl, wanting nothing but the best for her. He wonders if her boyfriend treats her as well as he would if given the chance. Despite knowing that being with her is nothing more than a dream, he still hopes that she would know how he feels, and that she deserves someone who would truly cherish and respect her. The song has a poignant melody that amplifies the longing nature of the lyrics.
Overall, "I Would" is a beautiful song that captures the longing and vulnerability of a person in love with someone they cannot have. It is a song about recognizing the futility of one's desires but nonetheless embracing them, cherishing the beauty of love even when it is not reciprocated.

Lately I found myself thinking
Recently, my thoughts have been consumed by you
Been dreaming about you a lot
I have been dreaming about you frequently
And up in my head I'm your boyfriend
In my mind, I am your significant other
But that's one thing you've already got
However, I understand that you are already in a relationship
He drives to school every morning
Your current partner drives to school daily
While I walk alone in the rain
Meanwhile, I am often isolated and uncomfortable in harsh weather
He'd kill me without any warning
If he knew my emotions towards you, he would not react kindly
If he took a look in my brain
If he knew the extent of my feelings, he would likely take action against me
Back in my head we were kissing
Deep in my thoughts, I imagine us kissing
I thought things were going alright
I was under the impression that our imagined relationship was going well
With a sign on my back saying kick me
However, in reality, I feel vulnerable and helpless
Reality ruined my life
The harsh truth has caused me distress and pain
Feels like I'm constantly playing
It seems like I am constantly engaged in a game or competition
A game that I'm destined to lose
But no matter how much I try, I am set to fail
Cause I can't compete with your boyfriend
I cannot compare to your current partner
He's got twenty seven tattoos
He has many tattoos, making him more attractive to you
Would he please you
Would your partner satisfy you emotionally and physically?
Would he kiss you
Would your partner express affection through physical touch?
Would he treat you like I would
Could your partner emulate the way I would treat you?
Would he touch you
Would your partner engage in physical intimacy with you?
Would he need you
Would your partner be emotionally reliant on you?
Would he love you like I would
Does your current partner have the capacity to love you like I do?
Well if it was me then I would
If I were in his place, I would
Would he hold you when you're feeling low
Would your partner comfort you in times of distress?
Baby you should know that I would
You should understand that I would do this for you
I would, I would yeah
I am truly sincere in my statements and would do anything for you

Lately I found myself thinking
Been dreaming about you a lot
And up in my head I’m your boyfriend
But that’s one thing you’ve already got
He drives to school every morning
While I walk alone in the rain
He’d kill me without any warning
If he took a look in my brain
Would he say he’s in l-o-v-e?
Well if it was me then I would, I would
Would he hold you when you’re feeling low?
Baby you should know that I would, I would
Would he say he’s in l-o-v-e?
Well if it was me then I would, I would
Would he hold you when you’re feeling low?

Back in my head we were kissing
I thought things were going alright
With a sign on my back saying ‘kick me’
Reality ruined my life
Feels like I’m constantly playing
A game that I’m destined to lose
Cause I can’t compete with your boyfriend
He’s got 27 tattoos

Lately I found myself thinking
Ultimamente eu me peguei pensando
Been dreaming about you a lot
Estive sonhando muito com você
And up in my head I’m your boyfriend
E na minha cabeça, eu sou seu namorado
But that’s one thing you’ve already got
Mas isso é uma coisa que você já tem
He drives to school every morning
Ele dirige para a escola todas as manhãs
While I walk alone in the rain
Enquanto eu ando sozinho na chuva
He’d kill me without any warning
Ele me mataria sem qualquer aviso
If he took a look in my brain
Se ele desse uma olhada nos meus pensamentos
Would he say he’s in l-o-v-e?
Ele te diria que esta a-p-a-i-x-o-n-a-d-o?
Well if it was me then I would, I would
Bem, se fosse comigo eu diria, eu diria
Would he hold you when you’re feeling low?
Ele te abraçaria quando você está se sentindo triste?
Baby you should know that I would, I would
Baby, você deve saber que eu abraçaria, eu abraçaria
Would he say he’s in l-o-v-e?
Ele te diria que está a-p-a-i-x-o-n-a-d-o?
Well if it was me then I would, I would
Bem, se fosse comigo eu diria, eu diria
Would he hold you when you’re feeling low?
Ele te abraçaria quando você está se sentindo triste?
Baby you should know that I would
Baby, você deve saber que eu abraçaria, eu abraçaria
Back in my head we were kissing
Na minha cabeça, estamos nos beijando
I thought things were going alright
Eu pensei que as coisas estavam indo bem
With a sign on my back saying ‘kick me’
Com um sinal nas costas dizendo "me chute"
Reality ruined my life
A realidade arruinou a minha vida
Feels like I’m constantly playing
Parece que estou jogando constantemente
A game that I’m destined to lose
Um jogo que eu estou destinado a perder
Cause I can’t compete with your boyfriend
Porque eu não posso competir com o seu namorado
He’s got 27 tattoos
Ele tem 27 tatuagens
Would he say he’s in l-o-v-e?
Ele te diria que esta a-p-a-i-x-o-n-a-d-o?
Well if it was me then I would, I would
Bem, se fosse comigo eu diria, eu diria
Would he hold you when you’re feeling low?
Ele te abraçaria quando você está se sentindo triste?
Baby you should know that I would, I would
Baby, você deve saber que eu abraçaria, eu abraçaria
Would he say he’s in l-o-v-e?
Ele te diria que esta a-p-a-i-x-o-n-a-d-o?
Well if it was me then I would, I would
Bem, se fosse comigo eu diria, eu diria

Baby, você deve saber que eu abraçaria, eu abraçaria
Would he please you?
Ele te agradaria?
Would he kiss you?
Ele te beijaria?
Would he treat you like I would?
Ele te trataria como eu?
Would he touch you?
Ele te tocaria?
Would he need you?
Ele precisaria de você?
Would he love you like I would?
Ele te amaria como eu?
Would he say he’s in l-o-v-e?
Ele te diria que esta a-p-a-i-x-o-n-a-d-o?
Well if it was me then I would
Bem, se fosse comigo eu diria, eu diria
