Messed Around
Love Lost in the Night: A Story Told in Messed Around
Lyrics
On the phone all night
Reflecting on long conversations over the phone
Talking about the times
Discussing past experiences and memories
We didn't care or try
Not putting effort into the relationship
To see it black and white
Failure to see things clearly
So we ran away at night
Choosing to escape together at night
The only time we had together
Precious moments shared during limited time
We were gone too long
Being separated for an extended period
Our love was out of sight
Love hidden from view
And oh I know oh I know oh I know
Expressing realization
Could've been somebody
Regret for missed opportunities
Oh I know oh I know oh I know
Acknowledging the potential of being someone significant
Could've been somebody
Reiteration of the missed chances
Looks like we messed around
Confirmation of mistakes and harm in the relationship
And hurt one another
Reflecting on the consequences of their actions
Now we just go around
Engaging in gossip and discussions about each other
And talk about each other
Continuing to talk about one another
So you're the person
Identifying the person involved
And I won't find another
Believing that finding someone else is impossible
All I know all I know all I know
Reiterating missed opportunities
Could've been somebody
Repeating the idea of being somebody important
Could've been somebody
Re-emphasizing the potential of a meaningful relationship
Staying up all night
Describing staying up all night
No sleep my dreams just love right
Connecting sleepless nights with love and dreams
You never know I might
Expressing uncertainty about future interactions
Come around in time and maybe
Leaving the possibility of reconciliation open
If we could get this right
Acknowledging the difficulty in making things right
I know it's gonna hurt forever
Anticipating lasting emotional pain
You were gone too long
Feeling the absence for too long
And I should've tried
Regret for not trying hard enough
Oh I know oh I know oh I know
Reiteration of realization
Could've been somebody
Reflecting on missed opportunities again
Oh I know oh I know oh I know
Repeating the sense of regret
Could've been somebody
Reiterating the potential of being somebody
Looks like we messed around
Confirmation of mistakes and harm in the relationship (repeated)
And hurt one another
Reflecting on the consequences of their actions (repeated)
Now we just go around
Engaging in gossip and discussions about each other (repeated)
And talk about each other
Continuing to talk about one another (repeated)
So you're the person
Identifying the person involved (repeated)
And I won't find another
Believing that finding someone else is impossible (repeated)
All I know all I know all I know
Reiterating missed opportunities (repeated)
Could've been somebody
Repeating the idea of being somebody important (repeated)
Could've been somebody
Re-emphasizing the potential of a meaningful relationship (repeated)
Could've been somebody
Continuation of thoughts and emotions related to the relationship
Could've been somebody
-Could've been somebody
-Looks like we messed around
-And hurt one another
-Looks like we messed around
-And hurt one another yeah
-Now we just go around
-And talk about each other yeah
-So you're the person
-And I won't find another
-All I know all I know all I know
-Could've been somebody
-Could've been somebody
-Could've been somebody
-Could've been somebody
-Could've been somebody
-Could've been somebody
-We both know we could've been somebody
-We both know we could've been somebody
Final acknowledgment of the lost potential in the relationship
