I Want You Back
Sunrise And Memories Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm a fool to want you
To want a love that can't be true
A love that's there for others too
I'm a fool to hold you
Such a fool to hold you
To seek a kiss not mine alone
Time and time again I said I'd leave you
Time and time again I went away
But then would come the time when I would need you
And once again these words I had to say
Take me back, I love you
I need you
I know it's wrong, it must be wrong
But right or wrong I can't get along
Without you
In these lyrics, the singer is expressing their feelings of foolishness and longing for someone they cannot have. The repetition of the phrase "I'm a fool to want you" emphasizes their sense of self-awareness and the awareness of the impossibility of the love they desire. They acknowledge that they want a love that cannot be true, a love that is available to others as well.
The line "I'm a fool to hold you" suggests that the singer knows it is unwise to hold onto someone they cannot fully possess. They recognize that seeking a kiss from this person is not exclusive to them and that the person's affections are known by others, possibly implying that they are involved in other relationships or affairs. This further emphasizes the impossibility and the pain associated with their desire for this person.
The lyrics also mention the singer's continuous struggle to leave this person, expressing a recurring pattern of attempting to distance themselves but ultimately coming back. This repetition indicates their difficulty in moving on from the relationship, as they always find themselves needing this person once again. It highlights the emotional turmoil and the internal conflict they experience when trying to let go.
Despite acknowledging that their feelings may be wrong, the singer confesses their love and need for this person. They understand that they cannot justify their emotions, but they also cannot function without them. This reveals the intensity of their love and the internal struggle they face between what is right and what their heart desires.
In summary, these lyrics convey a sense of longing and desperation for a love that cannot be reciprocated fully. The singer acknowledges their foolishness in wanting someone they should not and their inability to move on from this person. Despite knowing it is wrong, they confess their love and dependency on them, unable to imagine a life without their presence.
