The Man Who Can't Be Moved
The Script Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gonna camp in my sleeping bag, I'm not gonna move
Got some words on cardboard, got your picture in my hand
Saying, "If you see this girl, can you tell her where I am?"
Some try to hand me money, they don't understand
I'm not broke, I'm just a broken hearted man
I know it makes no sense but what else can I do
How can I move on when I'm still in love with you
'Cause if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me
And your heart starts to wonder where on this Earth I could be
Thinkin' maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet
And you'll see me waiting for you on our corner of the street
So I'm not moving, I'm not moving
Policeman says, "Son, you can't stay here"
I said, "There's someone I'm waiting for if it's a day, a month, a year"
Gotta stand my ground even if it rains or snows
If she changes her mind, this is the first place she will go
'Cause if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me
And your heart starts to wonder where on this Earth I could be
Thinking maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet
And you'll see me waiting for you on our corner of the street
So I'm not moving, I'm not moving
I'm not moving, I'm not moving
People talk about the guy that's waiting on a girl
There are no holes in his shoes but a big hole in his world
Maybe I'll get famous as the man who can't be moved
Maybe you won't mean to, but you'll see me on the news
And you'll come running to the corner
'Cause you'll know it's just for you
I'm the man who can't be moved
I'm the man who can't be moved
'Cause if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me (find that you're missing me)
And your heart starts to wonder where on this Earth I could be (where on this Earth I could be)
Thinkin' maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet (to the place that we'd meet)
And you'll see me waiting for you on our corner of the street
(So I'm not moving) 'cause if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me
(I'm not moving) and your heart starts to wonder where on this Earth I could be
(I'm not moving) thinkin' maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet
(I'm not moving) and you'll see me waiting for you on our corner of the street
Going back to the corner where I first saw you
Gonna camp in my sleeping bag, I'm not gonna move
The Script's "The Man Who Can't Be Moved" is a song about unrequited love and the determination to wait for the person you love no matter what. The singer of the song is talking about a woman he loves who has left him, and he's waiting for her to return to the corner where they first met. The song is about the man's devotion to the woman and his refusal to move on until he knows that she has moved on.
The lyrics of the song are quite simple, as the man is waiting for the woman to return to him. The song is full of emotion and longing, as the man is patiently waiting for his love to return. He's holding a sign that asks anyone who sees her to let her know where he is, and he's camping out on the street corner where they met. The man is determined to wait until she comes back, no matter how long it takes.
The song is a beautiful expression of love and devotion, and it captures both the pain and the beauty that comes with holding on to something that you love. The lyrics express the depth of emotion that the man feels, and they are a reminder that true love is worth waiting for, even if it seems impossible.

Returning to the place where I first laid eyes on you

Some try to hand me money, they don't understand
Others try to fix my problems with money or gifts, but they fail to grasp the depth of my heartache
I'm not broke, I'm just a broken hearted man

I know it makes no sense but what else can I do
I'm aware that my actions may seem illogical, but I have no other options
How can I move on when I'm still in love with you
I cannot move on from my undying love for you
'Cause if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me
In the event that you suddenly find yourself yearning for me

And you begin to wonder where I might be in the world
Thinkin' maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet
Entertaining the possibility of returning to our meeting spot
And you'll see me waiting for you on our corner of the street
And you'll spot me waiting for you right where we first crossed paths
So I'm not moving, I'm not moving
I refuse to budge from my spot until you return

There are no holes in his shoes but a big hole in his world
His shoes may be intact, but his life feels incomplete without her
Maybe I'll get famous as the man who can't be moved
I could become known as the individual who remains parked in this spot
Maybe you won't mean to, but you'll see me on the news
Perhaps you'll come across me in the media, unaware of my actions
And you'll come running to the corner
And eventually, you'll make your way back to our meeting place
'Cause you'll know it's just for you
Because you'll understand that this display of devotion is exclusively for you
I'm the man who can't be moved
I'm the man who refuses to leave this spot

Going back to the corner where I first saw you
Gonna camp in my sleeping bag, I'm not gonna move
Got some words on cardboard, got your picture in my hand
Saying, "If you see this girl can you tell her where I am?"
Some try to hand me money, they don't understand
I'm not broke, I'm just a broken-hearted man
I know it makes no sense but what else can I do?
And how can I move on when I'm still in love with you?
'Cause if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be
Thinking maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet
And you'll see me waiting for you on the corner of the street
So I'm not moving, I'm not moving

'Cause if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be
Thinking maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet
And you'll see me waiting for you on the corner of the street
So I'm not moving, I'm not moving
I'm not moving, I'm not moving
People talk about the guy that's waiting on a girl, oh...
There are no holes in his shoes but a big hole in his world, hmm
And maybe I'll get famous as the man who can't be moved
And maybe you won't mean to but you'll see me on the news
And you'll come running to the corner
'Cause you'll know it's just for you
I'm the man who can't be moved
I'm the man who can't be moved
'Cause if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be
Thinking maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet
And you'll see me waiting for you on the corner of the street
'Cause if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be
Thinking maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet
And you'll see me waiting for you on the corner of the street
Going back to the corner where I first saw you
Gonna camp in my sleeping bag, I'm not gonna move

I relate to the song very much. I hope that that fact can comfort you (The Script band members) through going through that situation about their exes. To show you I can relate to how it can be of missing someone, my poem I wrote about missing my ex is below:
"Memories"
So many memories
Came flooding through
And I tried pushing those away
But it's difficult to forget you.
So strong of your presence
That I became addicted.
And I was consumed by you
And now I am afflicted
Because you are gone
And I still crave you
It's too much.
I just want to get through
One more day
Without remembering you.
Your memories plague me
I cry because I need to
Forget you
To be okay
(I need to let you go
To go about my way
In life
Because I still love you
And loving you hurts
Because you aren't here, too).
But, these memories
Just won't go away
And it's all I can do
To not break.
These memories...
God, these memories...
