Impossible
Shout Out Louds Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't wanna feel like it's an end of a summer
Let's not fall back to sleep like we used to
I don't wanna wake up knowing I don't have a future
(Impossible, impossible)
Impossible, your love is something I cannot remember
I woke up thirsty, it's hard to go back, you know
Let's not fall back to sleep like we used to, do you remember?
I don't wanna wake up knowing I don't have a future
And I know it's
(Impossible, impossible)
Impossible, your love is something I cannot remember
And there's a first time and a second time, you gotta hold on
Did you know it could happen to you?
Your love is something I cannot remember
I don't wanna see the same pictures all over
And I've been standing on the same spot now since it's been over
'Cause someone promised me a new chance, yes, you promised
I don't wanna wake up knowing I don't have a future
And I know it's
(Impossible, impossible)
Impossible, your love is something I cannot remember
Now there's a first time and a second time, you gotta hold on
Did you know it could happen to you?
Your love is something I cannot remember
Your love is impossible
Impossible, impossible
Impossible, impossible
Impossible, impossible
Impossible, impossible
You are just like your mother, I'm just as same as the others
Do you believe everything they write in all those magazines?
Stay out of love until you're ready, stay out of it 'cause it scares you
You'll still find your love outside the public library
I know it could happen to you
I know it could happen to you
I know it could happen to you
I know, did you? It could happen to you
I know it could happen to you
I know it could happen to you
And I know it's
(Impossible, impossible)
Impossible, your love is something I cannot remember
Now there's a first time and a second time, you gotta hold on
Did you know it could happen to you?
Your love is something I cannot remember
Your love is impossible
(Impossible, impossible)
It's impossible
(Impossible, impossible)
There's a first time and a second time, you gotta hold on
First time and second time
There's a first time and second time
(Impossible, impossible)

Line by Line Meaning
I don't wanna feel like I don't have a future
Feeling like there's no future is a burden I don't want to bear
I don't wanna feel like it's an end of a summer
I don't want to feel like something good has come to an end
Let's not fall back to sleep like we used to
We cannot afford to be complacent again like we were in the past
I don't wanna wake up knowing I don't have a future
The thought of waking up with no prospects for the future is unbearable
Impossible, impossible
It all seems impossible
Impossible, your love is something I cannot remember
I can't recall feeling love because it has been so long since I last had it
I don't wanna spend another day in this city
I want to leave this place and start afresh
I woke up thirsty, it's hard to go back, you know
It's tough to revert to old ways after tasting something new
And there's a first time and a second time, you gotta hold on
We might have failed once before, but we can try again and succeed
Did you know it could happen to you?
Have you realized that you too could have this experience?
Your love is something I cannot remember
It's hard to remember what it feels like to be loved
I don't wanna see the same pictures all over
I'm tired of seeing the same old things, I need something new
And I've been standing on the same spot now since it's been over
I've been stuck in the same place since this ended
I don't wanna wake up knowing I don't have a future
Not having a future is a scary thought
Your love is impossible
It feels impossible to find love
You are just like your mother, I'm just as same as the others
We are all just products of our upbringing
Do you believe everything they write in all those magazines?
Can we trust everything we read in the media?
Stay out of love until you're ready, stay out of it 'cause it scares you
It's better to wait until you're ready for love than to jump in and get hurt
You'll still find your love outside the public library
Love could come from anywhere, even the most unexpected places
That it's impossible
It seems impossible to achieve
There's a first time and a second time, you gotta hold on
Perseverance is necessary for success, especially after failure
Impossible
It just doesn't seem possible

listening to this band in the car with my mom as a kid nearly a decade ago was like stumbling upon a musical time capsule. The lyrics resonate so deeply with my life experiences, which I couldn’t understand as a kid. A powerful reminder of the emotions and moments. It's amazing how music has the ability to etch its way into our souls and become a timeless companion
@justinkacynski6001
Damn...when you hear this for the first time in like 10 years the line "I don't wanna wake up knowing I don't have a future"....kinda hits.
@RandomMiner5
This has been my favorite band for nearly ten years by now. The fact that I only coincidentally ran into their music through a game (MLB 2011) makes me that much more thankful. Impossible is undoubtedly my favorite song from them, and I'll keep cherishing it. Cheers from Finland!
@joemcbobinite
Still to this day one of the most magical and amazing videos I have ever seen. Words cannot explain. The most underrated band I've ever found. This video is like something straight out of an indie film. Work of art.
@Axman7281
it's impossible to explain, but i like to think they just went to a theme park and filmed their experience
@ckg3362
The Swedish Feeling
@Oztandreaz
I guess that's exactly what they did, Stockholm is so extremely beautiful during the summer as you can see in the video <3
@alexy854

@litjellyfish
