Song Meaning of “I Was Hiding Under Your Porch Because I Love You” by Waterparks
This song is about a person who is so in love with someone else that they feel compelled to take extreme measures in order to express their feelings. The person in the song is hiding under the porch of their loved one, even though they know they should not be doing so. The person is trying to show their beloved how much they care for them, but they feel embarrassed to do so in the open. The song is a desperate attempt to tell the other person how deep their feelings go, but also a way for the person singing to admit that they are struggling to express themselves in a healthy and respectful way. In the chorus, they sing “I don’t mind that you don’t feel the same, so I was hiding under your porch because I love you”, as they try to make sense of why they would do something so extreme, when they know it probably won’t change anything. This song is a candid and honest look at how powerful and intense love can be, and how it can push us to do desperate things in attempt to make it known.
