Kristinas
Stephen Covell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And smiles
That familiar feeling starts welling inside
I can't believe what I see
How could it be she's more beautiful than I remember
But not at all the same
She's so much better
Oh, how much I
I search for the words
The ones she's never heard
To let her know that she is my angel
She knows its hard for me
To express how I feel
Oh, foot in mouth
I've never really been a Casanova
Roll that over in my head
It's quiet now
Except what she just said
So good to
See you
Feel you
taste you
so true
It's candy's day
In that bittersweet way
The kind of feeling
the phone just would not convey
Peach fuzz stands above
Her eyes they radiate love
Oh love for me
Flash forward to the end of the year
Snow turns the earth white but my skin doesn't care
I'm wasted in the great unknown
Or is it wasted on me such a fond memory
What is the chance of ever again meeting
The most perfect love I've ever known
As she steps off the platform
And smiles
That familiar feeling starts welling inside
The song "Kristinas" by Stephen Covell is a heartfelt tribute to the singer's past love. The song begins with the singer waiting for Kristina at a train station and feeling overwhelmed with emotion as he sees her step off the platform. He's taken aback by how beautiful she looks and notes that she's even more perfect than he remembers. Despite feeling tongue-tied around her, he searches for the right words to express his love and admiration for her. He describes her as his angel and acknowledges that he's not a Casanova, but he still feels a deep connection with her.
The chorus of the song is particularly poignant, as the singer describes the intense physical and emotional sensations he experiences when he's around Kristina. He describes it as "candy's day in that bittersweet way," which suggests that there's a sweetness to being around her but also a hint of sadness or longing.
In the last verse, the singer reflects on the fact that he may never see Kristina again, as time and distance have separated them. He notes that he's "wasted in the great unknown" and wonders if his memories of their love are only meaningful to him. The song ends on a wistful note, with the singer feeling grateful for the time he spent with Kristina but unsure of what the future holds.
Overall, "Kristinas" is a tender and emotional tribute to a past love. It beautifully captures the feeling of being swept away by someone's presence and struggling to articulate just how much they mean to you.
