In Demand
Texas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
just like paper from a fan,
but you would act like i was just a kid,
like we were never gonna last.
CHORUS
But now i've got someone who cares for me, yeah, he wrote my name in silver sands.
I think you know you've lost the love of your life
because I'm in demand,
you're thinking of the way you should have held my hand
and all the times you said you didn't understand,
you never had our love written in your plans,
but now I'm in demand.
don't ever think you saw the best of me,
there's a side you'll never know,
coz love and loving are two different things, set your sights far too low.
CHORUS
Its only when i fall asleep,
i see that winning smile,
then my dreams just move along,
you've lost the race by miles.
In Texas's song In Demand, the lyrics describe a relationship where one person was not given the respect or love they deserved.

However, she has moved on and found someone who cares for her and is aware of her worth. The chorus of the song talks about how her ex realizes that he has lost the love of his life and how the singer is now in demand, prompting her ex to think of how he should have held her hand and how he never had their love written in his plans. The song also suggests that the ex never saw the best of the singer and that there is a side of her he will never know.
The bridge of the song talks about how the singer sees her ex's winning smile in her dreams but knows that he has lost the race by miles. The song depicts the singer as independent and strong-willed, who is no longer willing to settle for anything less than she deserves.

When we were together I was blown away
Just like paper from a fan
But you would act like I was just a kid
Like we were never gonna last
Now I've got someone who cares for me
He wrote my name in silver sands
I think you know you've lost the love of your life
(And you said) I was the best you've ever had
Because I'm in demand
You're thinking of the way you shoulda held my hand
And all the times you said you didn't understand
You never had our love written in your plans
But now I'm in demand
Don't ever think you saw the best in me
There's a side you'll never know
Cause love and loving are too different things
Set your sites far too low
Now I've got someone who cares for me
He wrote my name in silver sands
I think you know you've lost the love of your life
(And you said) I was the best you've ever had
Because I'm in demand
You're thinking of the way you shoulda held my hand
And all the times you said you didn't understand
You never had our love written in your plans
But now I'm in demand
You're thinking of the way you shoulda held my hand
And all the times you said you didn't understand
You never had our love written in your plans
But now I'm in demand
It's only when I fall asleep
I see that winning smile
When my dreams just move along
You've lost the race by miles
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
(Never had our love written in your plans)
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Because I'm in demand
You're thinking of the way you shoulda held my hand
And all the times you said you didn't understand
You never had our love written in your plans
But now I'm in demand
You know I'm in demand
You see I'm in demand
You know I'm in demand
You know I'm in demand
You never had our love written in your plans
You know I'm in demand
You see I'm in demand
You need me in demand
You want me in demand

If there was a man like him in my Universe I would marry him instantly. Grace, elegance and intoxicating intelligence combined with regal beauty and charm, that is how I define him. I never was the type of person to have favourite actors and actresses and a fangirl that screams every time her fav star appears, but there is something about him that makes me want to have the ability to bring back the dead. I was so sad when I heard the news of his demise. Almost like a part of my life had gone with him. Alan Rickman is simply irreplaceable. I will miss him...
... Always!
