Who Knows

The speaker is drawn to someone and imagines a lasting future with her, but he does not trust himself to be a dependable partner. His feelings move between hope and doubt: he enjoys her presence, worries about his flaws and uncertain future, then allows himself to picture marriage. The repeated “who knows?” keeps these hopes open rather than certain.

Several images express his self-doubt. Calling himself a “waste of your time” suggests he fears disappointing her, while “step out of line” hints that he might behave badly or break expectations. He describes himself as hiding “in a disguise of an ever-giving flower”: the flower suggests kindness and generosity, but “disguise” makes that goodness seem like a mask. Calling the future “precarious” means it feels unstable and difficult to predict.

The song can be heard as a tender confession, but not a firm promise. The speaker admires the woman and says he will love her, yet wonders whether he is good enough and whether their relationship can last. His mention of marriage may be a sincere possibility, a private fantasy, or both. The uncertainty is central: he does not claim to know what will happen, but he is willing to express what he feels now.
