Lyrics

Is it the people?

Questioning if the people or surroundings contribute to the feelings being experienced.

Is it the room that looks the same?

Contemplating if the familiarity of the room has an impact on emotions.

The conversations?

Reflecting on past conversations and their significance.

'Cause I thought I heard your name

Wondering if hearing a name is a real occurrence or just a figment of imagination.

Or just illusions?

Considering whether emotions are based on reality or mere illusions.

Somehow, I just can't explain

Expressing difficulty in explaining certain feelings.

What reminds me of you

Questioning what triggers memories associated with a specific person.


Am I lonely?

Contemplating personal loneliness and the true source of the yearning.

Is it really you I'm missing

Doubting if the longing is genuinely for the person or just any companionship.

Or just somebody?

Considering the possibility of missing a specific person or merely desiring company.

I think I've got mixed feelings

Expressing mixed emotions, possibly influenced by alcohol (Bacardi).

With Bacardi

Acknowledging the impact of Bacardi on emotions and understanding.

Somehow I just can't explain

Struggling to articulate certain feelings associated with the past.

'Cause I don't want me to want you

Expressing a desire not to want the person in question.


Oh, I try not to think about what she's like

Attempting to avoid thoughts about the qualities of someone else.

And I try not to wonder where you've been

Avoiding thoughts about the whereabouts of the person in question.

And I try to have a drink, toss it back, I don't wanna think

Trying to distract oneself with a drink and avoid deep reflection.

I really try not to miss you, but in the end

Acknowledging the difficulty in not missing the person despite efforts.


I do

Repeating the realization of still having feelings and missing the person.

I do

-

I do

-

I do

-

It's getting late and

Describing the late night atmosphere and waiting for an unlikely reunion.

People heading off

-

Neighbors complainin'

-

And the music stops

-

But here I'm waiting

-

For you to show up

-

Like that would happen, mm-hm

-

I can't remember

Expressing difficulty in recalling the reasons for a past breakup.

The reasons we broke up

Recalling positive aspects of the past relationship.

I just remember (I just remember)

Expressing a desire to reconnect and understand why the relationship ended.

All of the good stuff

-

So can I call you (can I call you)

-

So you can remind me

-

Why we ended it

-

Oh, I try not to think about what he's like

Avoiding thoughts about the qualities of another person.

And I try not to wonder where you've been

Avoiding thoughts about the whereabouts of the person in question.

And I try to have a drink, toss it back, I don't wanna think

Trying to distract oneself with a drink and avoid deep reflection.

I really try not to miss you, but in the end

Acknowledging the difficulty in not missing the person despite efforts.


I do

Repeating the realization of still having feelings and missing the person.

I do (oh)

-

I do

-

I do (ooh)

-

I do

-

I do

-

I do

-

I do

-

The party's over

Describing the end of a party and the fear of feeling the same way upon waking up.

And I'm scared to feel the same way

-

When I wake up

-

When I'm sober and it's Sunday

-

Will I miss you

Questioning whether missing the person will persist or if things will be okay.

When I'm lonely in my bed?

-

Or will I feel like

-

I'll be okay?
