Capo 1st fret [Verse 1] What was that about the ballroom dancing class I asked about It’s all I thought about cuz you were saying We might get a chance to talk and talk might lead to dancing Maybe dance might lead to dates and dates to aging [Bridge] Hope you let your intuition Precede my reputation Cause I have one [Chorus] Well I am what you see I am not what they say But if I turned out to be Could you love me anyway I’m standing in anonymous Hoping your heart Will just wake up and ask for me by name Maybe someday you will ask for me by name Just not today [Verse 2] Well if this is love then it’s hard to say But the notes in your books and your reaching away And I’ve Confidence issues with your intentions And I’m not hip to all of your tricks But your algebra your politics And the band has planned a hotel intervention [Bridge] So don’t you leave me by my lonesome To exceed my reputation Cause I have one [Chorus] Well I am what you see I am not what they say But if I turned out to be Could you love me anyway I’m standing in anonymous Hoping your heart Will just wake up and ask for me by name Maybe someday you will ask for me by name Just not today I’m always here I’ve walked you home And headed for my own Until again I’m needed Well I am what you see I am not what they say But if I turned out to be Could you love me anyways Well I am what you see I am not what they say But if I turned out to be Could you love me anyway I’m standing in anonymous Hoping your heart Will just wake up and ask for me by name Maybe someday you will ask for me by name Just not today Not today

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque les incertitudes et les désirs liés à une relation naissante. Le narrateur se demande si l'amour qu'il ressent sera réciproque, tout en exprimant ses doutes face aux jugements extérieurs. Il espère que ses véritables intentions seront perçues au-delà des apparences et que, malgré ses inquiétudes, l'autre finira par le reconnaître et l’accepter. Le contexte semble être celui d'une rencontre maladroite, où chaque geste, chaque mot est chargé d'aspirations et de vulnérabilité. Ce moment suspendu entre l'espoir et le doute capture la complexité des premières étapes d'une relation, basées sur une dynamique d'inconnue. Il s’agit de cet instant fragile où l'on se demande si l'on va être aimé pour ce que l'on est vraiment.
