Valentine's Day
Saving Boy Wonder Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The lyrics to "Valentine's Day" by Saving Boy Wonder describe the feelings of someone who is disillusioned with the commercialization and societal pressure surrounding Valentine's Day. They express a sense of inadequacy and disappointment with their romantic prospects, feeling that they have been consistently "blown off" despite their attempts to express their affection in traditional ways such as cards and candy hearts.
The repeated refrain of "one card, one letter" highlights the simplicity and sincerity of the singer's desire for connection in the face of overwhelming expectations and superficial displays of affection. They reject the idea of putting themselves in a vulnerable position by offering their heart in exchange for a mere gesture, instead choosing to focus on the small but meaningful action of sending a letter.
The lyrics convey a sense of emotional maturity and self-awareness, as the singer acknowledges their own shortcomings and expresses a willingness to move forward with or without reciprocation from the recipient of their affections. The final lines of the song suggest an openness to the possibility of future reconciliation, but also a determination to prioritize their own emotional wellbeing above expectations or societal norms.

One card, one letter. I would feel so much better. One card, one letter today.
Sending just one card or a letter to express my feelings on Valentine's Day would make me feel better, and I am planning to do it today.
Every February 14 is the same. Another harsh reminder that i am so lame.
Valentine's Day comes every year, and it just reminds me that I am not good at expressing my feelings and doing romantic things.
Commercialized feelings. A paradox of individually wrapped emotions in a heart shaped box.
Valentine's Day is often seen as a marketing opportunity for companies to sell love and emotions in a box or package, but true emotions cannot be wrapped or sold like products.
And all i have to say to you, i hope you're happy now.
I hope that you are happy without me or my love, even if it hurts me to say it.
And all i have to say to you, i know i'll get you back somehow.
Even though I am hurt right now, I believe that I will find a way to make you love me again in the future.
All i have to offer you is a pink candy heart that says will you be mine.
I have nothing big or fancy to offer you on Valentine's Day, just a small candy heart that asks if you will be mine.
All i have to offer you is a card saying be my valentine.
I don't have much to give you on Valentine's Day, but I hope a simple card asking you to be my valentine will be enough.
No way, i'm not gonna sit with my heart in my hands and my hands in a fist. blown off one too many times with a pink candy heart that says will you be mine.
I refuse to put myself in a vulnerable position again like I have in the past, only to be rejected by a simple candy heart asking you to be mine.
NO WAY, i won't pretend that things will be the same in the end. Blown off, one too many times with a card asking you to be my valentine.
I won't deceive myself into thinking that things between us will magically change or improve, especially after being rejected before with a Valentine's Day card.
One card, one letter. i would feel so much better. One card, one letter today.
Sending just one card or a letter on Valentine's Day to express my feelings would make me feel better, and I am determined to do it today.
