Thinking of You
Reflections on Love's Complexity: Air Traffic Controller's 'Thinking of You'
Lyrics
I thought about you every day
I constantly thought about you every day
Since the incident
Referring to a past event or situation
And how I couldn't stay
Expressing difficulty in staying in that situation
Didn't want you thinking I'm a bad guy
Expressing concern about being perceived negatively
Ain't no need to question my integrity
Asserting one's honesty and credibility
The emotion was strong
Describing intense emotions that endured longer than expected
Lasted longer than I hoped that it would
Expressing a wish for emotions to be shorter-lived
Kinda sorta built a reputation
Having a reputation for taking on more than can be handled
Biting off a little more than I should
Acknowledging a tendency to overcommit
Ooh, this could be different
Expressing the possibility of a different outcome
Ooh, we could be good friends
Proposing the idea of becoming good friends
Love is just the same
Reflecting on the commonality of love
The city is a lonely place for the curious
Characterizing the city as isolating for the curious
Everyone is in their floors
Describing people being in their own spaces
You hardly meet the eyes of a stranger
Noticing the reluctance to engage with strangers
Never mind hold a whole conversation
Difficulty in holding meaningful conversations
But luckily I knew someone
Fortuitously knowing someone connected to the person of interest
That someone knew someone who knew you
Indirectly connecting with the person of interest
Could've been an awkward situation
Acknowledging a potentially awkward situation
After all, it's someone that you barely know
Recognizing the limited familiarity with the person
Ooh, this could be different
Expressing the potential for a different outcome
Ooh, we could be good friends
Reiterating the idea of becoming good friends
Love is just the same
Restating the universality of love
And we run into the ocean
Portraying a bold move into uncertain territory
We're swimming in a hurricane
Metaphorically navigating a tumultuous situation
I know they tell you not to
Awareness of advice against risky actions
'Cause the army toll will you pour you in
Highlighting potential consequences of the bold move
Ooh, this could be different
Reiterating the potential for a different outcome
Ooh, this could be different
Emphasizing the possibility of change
Ooh, this could be different
Repeating the notion of a different outcome
Ooh, we could be good friends
Reiterating the idea of becoming good friends
Love is just the same
Restating the commonality of love
