Only You
Yellow and Green Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But the words would come out wrong
Oh, if you only knew
The way I felt for so long
I know that we're worlds apart
But I just don't seem to care
These feelings in my heart
Only with you I want to share
The first time I caught a glimpse of you
Then my thoughts were only of you
I hope that when time goes by
You will think the same about me
Many nights awake I lie
I only wish that you could see
I know that we're only friends
I hope this feeling never ends
If I could only hold you
It's the only thing I want to do
The first time I caught a glimpse of you
Then my thoughts were only of you
The lyrics to the Yellow and Green song "Only You" express the longing and frustration of unrequited love. The singer wishes they could express their feelings to the person they love, but feels that the words would not come out correctly. The singer has had these overwhelming feelings for a long time, but the person they love is someone who is worlds apart from them. Despite this obstacle, the singer feels that the feelings they have inside are so strong that they cannot help but want to share them with the object of their affection β only with them do they want to share these feelings.
Furthermore, the singer reminisces about the first time they saw the person who they are in love with, and how from that point on their thoughts have been consumed entirely with this person. They hope that over time, the person they love will feel the same way about them. Many sleepless nights are spent lying awake, yearning for their love to be realized. Despite these strong feelings, the two of them are currently only friends. However, the singer hopes that this friendship can blossom into something more, and that their feelings will never expire.
Overall, the song delves into the heart-wrenching experience of unrequited love. The lyrics express the desire to share one's true feelings with the person they love, and the overwhelming emotions that come along with this. The yearning and hope for these feelings to be reciprocated is palpable throughout the song, making it a poignant depiction of love and longing.

Look at the stars
Look how they shine for you
And everything you do
Yeah, they were all yellow
I came along
I wrote a song for you
And all the things you do
And it was called, "Yellow"
So then I took my turn
Oh, what a thing to have done
And it was all yellow
Your skin
Oh yeah, your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful
You know
You know I love you so
You know I love you so
I swam across
I jumped across for you
Oh, what a thing to do
'Cause you were all yellow
I drew a line
I drew a line for you
Oh, what a thing to do
And it was all yellow
Your skin
Oh yeah, your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful
And you know
For you I'd bleed myself dry
For you I'd bleed myself dry
It's true
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine for
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine
Look at the stars
Look how they shine for you
And all the things that you do

Producer: Hey, sorry Chris, we got no money for a music vid.
Chris: No problem, I'll just go to the beach and walk endlessly.
Very cool, Chris.

It doesn't help that he literally didn't know where the song came from or what it means. So instead of finding meaning, it was easier just to put him on the beach. At least - that's what I think happened. Your thought was good too though.
