Lyrics
It's been awhile (awhile)
Expressing that it has been a considerable amount of time.
Since we last talked it out
Referring to the last conversation or discussion between the speaker and their partner.
I said that shit would've changed
Stated a promise or expectation of change.
But bae you know I can't change it
Admitting an inability to change despite the desire to do so.
So let that old shit slide (oh woah)
Encouraging the partner to let go of past issues or conflicts.
And start this brand new life with me (with me)
Proposing a fresh start in life together.
Oh maybe you might just see (it now)
Suggesting the possibility of the partner recognizing a change now.
Cause you, you might see
Asserting the hope for the partner to notice a transformation in the speaker.
The man of your dreams is here (so baby)
Expressing that the speaker embodies qualities desired by the partner.
Yeah baby can you see it through
Asking the partner if they can perceive the speaker's sincerity.
Your eyes, they stuck up in my mind
Indicating the partner's impact on the speaker's thoughts.
Got your smile engraved in my head
Describing the lasting impression of the partner's smile on the speaker.
Girl I need you (I do)
Expressing a strong emotional need for the partner.
I need you again
Reiterating the longing for the partner's presence.
Hey, I've been thinking...
Indicating a period of contemplation or reflection.
I really think we could work this out
Expressing confidence in the possibility of resolving issues.
Just give me a call...
Requesting the partner to initiate contact.
So call me back (yes please)
Urging the partner to return the call as a plea.
When you get the chance
Acknowledging the potential differences but showing willingness to communicate.
I know that things might be different
Expressing readiness to listen to the partner.
But I'm willing listen to you (for you)
Expressing a longing for intimate moments in the morning.
Miss your hair and your lips in the mornin
Expressing the feeling of the partner's absence or withdrawal.
Fell asleep in my arms now your ghostin
Expressing a desire for physical closeness and affection.
Hold me tight
Desiring to be held tightly.
Catch a flight
Desiring to be with the partner and not be left behind.
I don't want you to leave me behind
Reiterating the hope of being perceived as the partner's ideal match.
Cause you, you might see
Similar to line 9, expressing qualities desired by the partner.
The man of your dreams is here (so baby)
Asking the partner again to perceive the speaker's sincerity.
Yeah baby can you see it through
Repeating the impact of the partner on the speaker's thoughts.
Your eyes, they stuck up in my mind
Reiterating the lasting impression of the partner's smile on the speaker.
Got your smile engraved in my head
Reiterating a strong emotional need for the partner.
Girl I need you (I do)
Reiterating the longing for the partner's presence.

Reiterating a strong emotional need for the partner.
