Darling
SayWeCanFly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On the city streets
in the cold, cold snow
I almost got lost there
All the people who were trying to go, go, go
Wouldn't care for a drink, love
Cause we going out at some other show, show, show
I met you in Boston
That I don't believe in love
So don't get your hopes up, darling
Cause I don't believe in love
Anymore
I used to believe in love
but I got my hopes up, darling
So I don't believe in love
Anymore
I met you in London
It's sad the walls
of the hotel room
And we had some fun, yeah
Moving around until we could not move
Wouldn't care for a drink, love
We both know I'm leaving soon, soon, soon
I met you in London
There's something that I gotta tell you
That I don't believe in love
So don't get your hopes up, darling
Cause I don't believe in love
Anymore
I used to believe in love
But I got my hopes up, darling
So I don't believe in love
Anymore
I don't believe in love
So don't get your hopes up, darling
Cause I don't believe in love
Anymore
I used to belive in love
But I got my hopes up, darling
So I dont believe in love
Anymore
Anymore
The lyrics to SayWeCanFly's "Darling" describe the singer meeting someone in two separate locations, Boston and London. The cold and bustling streets of Boston, combined with the fast-paced lifestyle of the people, almost caused the singer to get lost. Yet, it was in this chaotic environment that the singer met their lover. However, despite this, the singer states that they do not believe in love anymore, and advises their partner not to get too invested as they will only be let down. In London, the pair had fun, but again, the singer stresses that their feelings have not changed.
The lyrics paint a picture of a jaded lover who has been hurt in the past, and as a result, has become cynical about love. Despite finding happiness in the moment with their partner, the singer is unable to see a future together and chooses to distance themselves emotionally. The repetition of the phrase "I don't believe in love" reinforces this message and creates a tone of hopelessness and despair. Overall, the lyrics to "Darling" remind listeners of the painful nature of love and warn of the dangers of losing oneself in a relationship.

I met you in Boston
I first encountered you on the streets of Boston
On the city streets
We met on the bustling and noisy streets of the city
in the cold, cold snow
It was a frigid day, with snow blanketing the ground
I almost got lost there
I had difficulty navigating through the area
All the people who were trying to go, go, go
The other people around us seemed to be in a hurry to get somewhere
Wouldn't care for a drink, love
We didn't want to stop for a drink at that moment
Cause we going out at some other show, show, show
We had plans to attend another event later on
There's something that you gotta know, know, know
I need to tell you something important
That I don't believe in love
I have lost faith or hope in the concept of love
So don't get your hopes up, darling
Don't expect that I will fall in love with you or reciprocate romantic feelings
Anymore
This is a recent change in my belief or outlook on love
I used to believe in love
I had faith in the existence of love and its ability to bring happiness
I met you in London
We also spent time together in London
It's sad the walls
The walls of our hotel room were depressing or gloomy
of the hotel room
They served as a reminder of our temporary and fleeting time together
And we had some fun, yeah
Despite this, we were able to enjoy ourselves and have a good time
Moving around until we could not move
We were active and energetic, almost to the point of exhaustion
We both know I'm leaving soon, soon, soon
I will be departing from London and our time together will soon come to an end
There's something that I gotta tell you
I need to share another important piece of information with you
