The first time I heard the song "The Man Who Can't Be Moved" by The Script I immediately liked it. I liked it because I like the Way it was sang and I like the melody. However, I didn't understand right away what the song meant. Then a friend of mine sang it in one of our activities. When he was practicing I asked to see the lyrics. That was the first time I understood what it meant. From then on I said I like it very much. I could feel the love in that man's heart. I could feel the unending hope he has that one day he is going to see his love again.
cause if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be
Thinkin maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet
And you'll see me waiting for you on the corner of the street
So I'm not moving, I'm not moving
Read the chorus a few times. Do you think the guy is hoping that the love of his life will come back one day to embrace him and love him again? I don't think so. I think he was just hoping that there will come a time that the girl will miss him and look for him. He sounded like he was just hoping that she'll come back so he will see her again. Then maybe he'll try to work things out from there. I think they had a falling out somewhere and they didn't get real 'closure'. Maybe he did something that the girl didn't like. He was not given time to explain so he was hoping that he'll have a second chance. I don't know.
Anyway, I was thinking should that thing happen to me will I be able to say "I am a man who can't be moved"? Such love that man has. I am not sure if I am capable of loving someone the same way. Maybe. Maybe not. Who's to say? Just read the lyrics of The Man Who Can't Be Moved and enjoy.
"The Man Who Can't Be Moved"
Going Back to the corner where I first saw you
Gonna camp in my sleeping bag I'm not gonna move
Got some words on cardboard, got your picture in my hand
Saying, "If you see this girl can you tell her where I am?"
Some try to hand me money, they don't understand
I'm not broke I'm just a broken hearted man
I know it makes no sense but what else can I do
How can I move on when I'm still in love with you
'cause if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be
Thinkin maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet
And you'll see me waiting for you on the corner of the street
So I'm not moving, I'm not moving
Policeman says, "Son you can't stay here"
I said, "There's someone I'm waiting for if it's a day, a month, a year"
Gotta stand my ground even if it rains or snows
If she changes her mind this is the first place she will go
[Chorus:]
'cause If one day you wake up and find that you're missing me
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be
Thinking maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet
And you'll see me waiting for you on our corner of the street
So I'm not moving, I'm not moving,
I'm not moving, I'm not moving
People talk about the guy that's waiting on a girl
There are no holes in his shoes but a big hole in his world
Maybe I'll get famous as the man who can't be moved
Maybe you wont mean to but you'll see me on the news
And you'll come running to the corner
'cause you'll know it's just for you
I'm the man who can't be moved
[Chorus 2x]
Going back to the corner where I first saw you
Gonna camp in my sleeping bag, I'm not gonna move
