What If I Came Knocking

Would you open up your heart or try to get the best of me? * * What if I came knocking on your brain the next day * And ask for your truth and your love and your honesty? * Would you build up your big walls and try to hide behind that smile Or would you try to pull the wool right over me? * So what if I came knocking? * So what if I came knocking? * So what if I came kicking scared you a little bit * And came on strong would you think * That there’s something wrong with me? * Or could it be your fear of trying something real Or just afraid to touch a guy like me? * So what if I came knocking? * So what if I came knocking? Drums N.C. So let’s just say it worked out like a storybook dream N.C. And we lived happily ever after (x6) Fa la la la e|----x------0---x-----------------------------------------------------------------| B|----3------1---3-----------------------------------------------------------------| G|-2--0--2---2---0-----------------------------------------------------------------| D|-2--0--2---3---0-----------------------------------------------------------------| A|-0--0--0---x---0-----------------------------------------------------------------| E|----3------x---3-----------------------------------------------------------------| * What if I came crying after just a few weeks * And said I misread my heart It’s not really meant to be? * * So if you hear some knocking on your window tonight * You can bet that it’shuh probably me * But let it be known that we’re just a pair of tumbling dice And the outcome of these crap shoots is hard to see * So what if I came knocking? * So what if I came knocking? * Knock knock knock knock knock knocking * Kick kick kick * What if I came knocking? On your front porch tonight tonight? (x6)

La chanson évoque une rencontre amoureuse où l’auteur se demande ce qui se passerait s'il se présentait à la porte de quelqu'un. Il s’interroge sur la réaction de l’autre : serait-elle prête à s’ouvrir et à partager ses sentiments, ou choisirait-elle de s'enfermer dans ses peurs et ses doutes ? Avec des images de coups frappés à la porte et de clés laissées derrière, il explore l’idée de vulnérabilité et de la possibilité d’un amour sincère, tout en reconnaissant l’incertitude qui l’accompagne. Le contexte semble tourner autour d'une romance incertaine, où l'angoisse de l'engagement et l'envie de connexion s’opposent. Les métaphores de la clé et des murs évoquent la lutte intérieure de chacun face à ses désirs et ses appréhensions. Cette dynamique complexe invite à réfléchir sur le désir d'authenticité dans les relations humaines.
