Impossible
The Friday Night Boys Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You were fallin' from the sky
Every moment passed me by
And I know it won't get easier
I was up at 6 a.m.
You were running through my head
Don't want this tomorrow
But every second feels like a lifetime
I'm never the first to know
She's so impossible
I can't get out of my head into her bed
Tomorrow
She don't know what I'm feeling
Tonight I lost all control
Impossible

I was stuck inside my room
I was slippin' into you
And it was so much easier
But if I was just like you
I'd be on my way so soon
And I would feel so senseless
But every second feel like a lifetime

I'm never the first to know
She's so impossible
I can't get out of my head into her bed
Tomorrow
She don't know what I'm feeling
Tonight I lost all control
Impossible

She won't stop running away
Far from me
I'm crashing down
Too late
You were fallin' from the sky
Every moment passed me by

I'm never the first to know
She's so impossible
I can't get out of my head into her bed
Tomorrow
She don't know what I'm feeling
Tonight I lost all control
Impossible

First to know
She's so impossible
I can't get out of my head into her bed
Tomorrow
She don't know what I'm feeling




Tonight I lost all control
Impossible

Overall Meaning

The Friday Night Boys' song Impossible is a song about a person who is hopelessly in love with someone who they find impossible to be with. The first verse starts with the metaphor of the person they love falling from the sky, which implies an unexpected and sudden encounter with their love interest. Although time keeps passing, the singer feels as if it won't get easier, despite the inevitable ending. The chorus of the song is about how the singer is unable to forget or stop thinking about their lover, how they can't get over them even if they want to. The second verse implies that the singer is stuck, trapped and feeling helpless in their love, and if they were like their lover, they'd be running away and would feel senseless. The song ends with the repetition of the chorus, emphasizing the feelings of hopelessness and longing.


Line by Line Meaning

You were fallin' from the sky
I was in awe of you and felt like you were too good for me


Every moment passed me by
I couldn't enjoy the time that we had together, it just flew by too quickly


And I know it won't get easier
I understand that my feelings for you won't just disappear or be resolved easily


I was up at 6 a.m.
I couldn't stop thinking about you, even when I should have been sleeping


You were running through my head
Thoughts of you were constantly consuming me


Don't want this tomorrow
I don't want my feelings for you to continue because it's too hard to handle


But every second feels like a lifetime
Time is moving so slowly without you in it


I'm never the first to know
I'm always behind in understanding my own feelings and what's happening between us


She's so impossible
I can't figure out how to make a connection with her, no matter how hard I try


I can't get out of my head into her bed
I'm so consumed by thoughts of her that I can't focus on anything else, including intimacy with her


She don't know what I'm feeling
She's unaware of my intense feelings for her


Tonight I lost all control
My emotions got the best of me and I couldn't keep them in check


Impossible
It's just too difficult to make things work between us


I was stuck inside my room
I felt trapped by my feelings for her and didn't know how to escape them


I was slippin' into you
My feelings for you were getting stronger and more intense all the time


And it was so much easier
I was more content when I was just daydreaming about you and not actually trying to be with you


But if I was just like you
If I could just understand her and connect with her the way she connects with others, maybe things would be different


I'd be on my way so soon
Then I could leave my feelings for her behind and move on with my life


And I would feel so senseless
But I know that giving up on her would be hopeless and make me feel lost and empty


She won't stop running away
She's avoiding me and steering clear of anything romantic between us


Far from me
I feel like she's far away from me emotionally, even if we're physically close


I'm crashing down
My hopes and dreams for us are falling apart and crashing to the ground


Too late
It seems like it's too late for anything to happen between us at this point


First to know
I wish I could understand my own feelings better and be more in control of them
