Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Which one will stay which one will say goodbye
Just my luck to find
Someone who makes me want to leave her behind
We took the backseat, everyone was happy
We took the back where everybody laughed
We took the backseat, everyone was happy
Dreaming of you rushing up to me and
Saying this is where you want to meet
But I don't believe you
Cos last night you woke me up
We almost fell in love
But then you said
It is time for bed
We took the backseat, everyone was happy
We took the back where everybody laughed
We took the backseat, everyone was happy
In "Magnet" by Bombay Bicycle Club, the lyrics explore the theme of indecision and conflicting emotions in a relationship. The singer is faced with a difficult choice: deciding which person to keep in their life and which one to let go. The lyrics suggest that the singer has found someone who they are drawn to, but at the same time, they feel a desire to leave that person behind. This internal conflict is exemplified in the line, "Just my luck to find someone who makes me want to leave her behind."
The song also delves into the idea of missed connections and unfulfilled desires. The singer dreams of a scenario where the person they are attracted to rushes up to them and expresses their desire to be together, saying, "Dreaming of you rushing up to me and saying this is where you want to meet." However, the singer expresses skepticism and disbelief, indicating a lack of trust in the authenticity of this supposed desire.
