I Could Be Happy With You


Whats done is done. I walked out that door and now we'll never be together again. I guess we're both wishing we'll find happiness again one day. YOU are the one who walked out, so why would he think you wanted to be with him you can't redo every argument, but the only way you can ever know if you truly care about someone is by feeling the terrible feeling you get when you actually think you lost them.

Postal Service - Brand New Colony. Flag raynirose on April 11, General Comment this song gives me goosebumps. Flag dnarmstr on August 07, General Comment This song is makes me sad The guy is thinking about their relationship and how most of it was good, but he also knows that it could have been better. He knows that she wasn't happy but he wishes he could have stopped her. He misses her but wants her to be happy. He wants her to go on with her life and all the things she couldn't do before while in the relationship General Comment everyone keeps saying its about a man who is in love with a girl who doesn't love him back.

Thats not the case! He loves her and she loves him just the same! For whatever reason they cant move on together in the next step in their lives. And in life that happens it does not mean she didnt love him. If she stayed she probly would of grew to resent him for all the things she wanted to do in life. Ideally we would like to believe they seperate he "let her go" and they found each other again in the future!

Like that famous quote "if you LOVE something let it go if it comes back to you it is yours forever, if it doesn't it was never yours to begin with! I could go into a HUGE thing about this song, so sorry if it ends up a bit wordy. As far as the music, it does leave a person to feel left hanging, and the lyrics also describe that. The song sounds so happy, but the lyrics are rather tragic. It seems like the person is trying to be happy that they left to do what they've always wanted to, but they're struggling with it.

The little repeats of the bells after the singer says it indicates how it really haunts him in my opinion. This song is so amazing; being filled with all the rhetoric that appeals to our emotion.

"I Could Be Happy With You" from The Boy Friend

So, my boyfriend was offered an amazing job as well as intensive training with some of the best people in his sport. But it's across the world in Sweden. I dedicate this song to him.

Nouvelle Vague - I Could Be Happy Lyrics

Happy or sad or hungry or scared. If you've been unfortunate enough to go through it, I'm sorry. It's a horrible feeling. The second line is referring to the day that person left. Whether it being left the other person, the city, or the country, it just means they went away and they were upset about it.

I Could Be Happy With You

It depends on your interpretation. Fight for relationship, Sad for leaving their loved one to go somewhere else "And all the things that I wish I had not said Are played in loops 'til it's madness in my head" Oh, man. This one gets me every time. Depending on how you think about this song, it could be about fighting and now they're not here so you can tell them you're sorry. On a deeper level, if they went to, say, Sweden for the opportunity of a lifetime, then you remember everything you've ever said that was mean on a daily basis.

Then it's on repeat; you constantly remember every time you made them feel horrible, and always wish that instead you had made them feel the way they deserve to feel.

But not our last days of silent, screaming blur" This part can be really emotional as well. Wondering if it's too late for whatever you want it to be, from the person coming back to you after breaking up to the person coming back to you after moving somewhere to accomplish their dreams. The last days of silent, screaming blur is in reference to fighting about them leaving.

In my case, me being selfish and arguing with him, proving that I wanted him all for myself instead of supporting him while I was watching him pack up and leave me behind to do what he's always wanted to. Then we wouldn't have left each other so emotionally. This is talking about regretting letting that person walk away, at least for that moment to let them know how you really felt without an argument. Or it could be going away in general. Whichever way you think about it.

The person is hoping that the other is happy, no matter what they may be doing, while also expressing how happy that they had made them while they we together. Whether they still are but are geographically separated, or have broken up. This happens to me all the time. It's a psychological thing, sort of like mind over matter. When everything smells like that person after they leave, it shows your attachment to that person. It's your brain's way of literally driving you insane by making you realize how much you miss them.

Waking up every morning and rolling over, still expecting to find him there, then telling yourself he never will be.

Polly, though a millionaire's daughter, feels left out because she is the only one of her friends who does not have a boyfriend and she needs a partner for the fancy dress ball. The curtain opens with the chorus number "Sur la Plage". After this dance number, Polly and Tony meet at the beach and Polly lies about being rich to fit in with Tony. They sing about their future lives together in "A Room in Bloomsbury. Polly begs Hortense to keep her secret and Hortense agrees. Lord Brockhurst's domineering wife Lady Brockhurst is also introduced.

When Polly goes to meet Tony on the promenade, Lord and Lady Brockhurst, who are passing by, recognize him. When he runs off, everyone else assumes that he is a thief. The act ends with a reprise of "I Could be Happy with You" sung by Polly and the other characters on a sad note.

At the ball, Bobby and the three boys propose to Maisie and the three girls, but the girls reply in unison that "we'll let you know at midnight" and everyone dances to "The Riviera". After everyone has left, Tony and Hortense run into each other. Hortense scolds Tony and tells him to meet Polly at the ball because she loves him as much as he loves her.

At the Carnival ball, Polly is sad that Tony is not there and she is thinking about leaving. Tony later arrives at the ball and takes Polly by surprise. He asks "May I have this dance, Pierrette? He then kisses her to remind her that it is he. When Tony removes his mask, Lord and Lady Brockhurst run to him, exclaiming they found their son at last. Polly and the others discover that Tony is really the son of the rich Lord and Lady Brockhurst, and he had left home to try to make his own way in the world.

Polly tells Tony that she is actually rich as well, and Percy and Mme Dubonnet announce that they are getting married. The clock strikes midnight, and the girls unanimously say yes to the boys' proposals. The last scene has everyone dancing as soon as Bobby, with the last spoken line in the play, asks "So how about that dance?
