What I've Been Looking For
Troy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's hard to believe
That I couldn't see
You were always there beside me

Thought I was alone
With no one to hold

But you were always right beside me
This feeling's like no other
I want you to know

I've never had someone that knows me like you do
The way you do
I've never had someone as good for me as you
No one like you




So lonely before I finally found
What I've been looking for

Overall Meaning

The first verse of Troy and Gabriella's song "What I've Been Looking For" talks about realizing the presence of someone who was always there but was not noticed before. The lyrics express the disbelief of someone who feels that they could not see the person beside them all this time. The person is grateful finally to see the support and companionship that was right beside them all along, which makes them feel different from anything they have ever experienced before. The second verse talks about receiving a level of friendship that the singer has never received from anyone before, like no one has known them as much their partner has. The song speaks to the idea of finding someone who truly understands and appreciates you, which has been elusive until they found each other.


Line by Line Meaning

It's hard to believe
I cannot easily accept the fact that


That I couldn't see
I had been blind to the fact that


You were always there beside me
You had always been right next to me


Thought I was alone
I used to think no one was there


With no one to hold
And I had no one to lean on


But you were always right beside me
But it turns out you were always next to me


This feeling's like no other
I have never felt anything like this


I want you to know
I wish to express to you that


I've never had someone that knows me like you do
I have never met someone who understands me as deeply as you do


The way you do
In the way that you comprehend me


I've never had someone as good for me as you
I have never had someone who is as suitable for me as you are


No one like you
There is no one else like you


So lonely before I finally found
I used to feel so isolated until I came across


What I've been looking for
The thing I've been searching for

Lyrics

(Troy)
It's hard to believe
That I couldn't see
You were always there beside me

(Gabriella)
Thought I was alone
With no one to hold

(Chorus)
But you were always right beside me
This feeling's like no other
I want you to know

I've never had someone that knows me like you do
The way you do
And I've never had someone as good for me as you
No one like you
So lonely before I finally found
What I've been looking for

@Lil_J3suz The most easiest and clearest answer why all religions are false is: ALL RELIGIOUS SOULS LIVE IN BABYLON.
CHRIST SAYS:
Revelation 18:4
And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
Muslims live in the babylon, being partakers of her sins.
Hindus live in the babylon, being partakers of her sins.
new agers live in the babylon, being partakers of her sins.
Atheists live in the babylon, being partakers of her sins.
Ignorats live in the babylon, being partakers of her sins.
Satanists live in the babylon, being partakers of her sins.
Catholics live in the babylon, being partakers of her sins.

Christians = souls who are bible believers and obeyers, live being out from the Babylon and expose her wicked deeds.

Matthew 7:21
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

James 2:18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.
James 2:14 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?

2 Corinthians 13:5
Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?


Without the needed works, how can soul EXAMINE themselves and to see that they to be in Faith?

And if only FAITH is needed and not the doing of the WILL OF GOD (WORKS), then why there be only FEW who find the NARROW ROAD TO LIFE?
Why many perish, if many say they have faith?

Matthew 7:13
Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
Matthew 7:14
Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

It's hard to believe
That I couldn't see
You were always there beside me

Thought I was alone
With no one to hold
But you were always right beside me

This feeling's like no other
I want you to know

I've never had someone
That knows me like you do
The way you do
I've never had someone
As good for me as you
No one like you
So lonely before
I finally found
What I've been looking for

So good to be seen
So good to be heard
Don't have to say a word

For so long I was lost
So good to be found
I'm loving having you around

This feelin's like no other
I want you to know

I've never had someone
That knows me like you do
The way you do
I've never had someone
As good for me as you
No one like you
So lonely before
I finally found
What I've been looking for

Ah yes, harmonizing perfectly with someone without practice using the power of love.

@mysteriousporcupine5085

you can harmonise perfectly without practice or prep beforehand... you just need to have some musicality and it can come pretty naturally

@mayasagi1385

@f. p. Not when you have no singing exprience at all except singing once at a karaoke party

@mysteriousporcupine5085

@maya sagi they have no professional singing experience. they clearly have singing experience if they know the tune of the song at the party lmao

@diegoduque4288

they were listening all the auditions, and they listened harmonize from sharpay and his brother, so its perfectly posible

@rebeccastudart1422

I saw a comment that perfectly explained the differences between the two versions of this song.
Sharpay and Ryan's version is something you sing with or to your best friend
Troy and Gabriella's version is what you'd sing to the love of your life

@-bowensluvr3238

thiss!!!

@WhatSayCrochet

You just figured that out? I realised this the first time I ever watched this movie when I was 12.

@yubullyme3855

@Carina Garcia good for you c:
