Lyrics
Hypothetically speaking, would you ever look at me the way I look at you
Hypothetically speaking, expressing a desire for the person to look at the speaker with the same intensity and admiration.
I'd do anything to get your attention
Expressing a willingness to go to great lengths to attract the person's attention.
But you don't even have a single clue
Highlighting the lack of awareness on the part of the person about the speaker's feelings.
It's the way you say hello and walk right towards my way
Noticing and appreciating small gestures from the person that bring joy and happiness.
Doesn't take much to make me smile, you make the bad days fade away

You could do way better than her

Why can't you see, you belong with me

Can you see it now, lemme help you out

I know you

But prayin' for the day when you finally notice me
Praying for the day when the person will finally take notice of the speaker's presence and feelings.
Might have been a little shy and awkward
Acknowledging past shyness and awkwardness in interactions.
Not the best at bein' smooth
Admitting a lack of smoothness or finesse in social situations.
I just wanted you to get to know the real me
Expressing a desire for the person to see the genuine, authentic side of the speaker.
A brown-eyed girl with a mind full of thoughts

I guess that I thought I needed you
Reflecting on a past belief that the person was necessary for happiness.
Then I realized that you missed out on me

Maybe someday, you won't make the same mistake

And finally, take a chance and see

You could do way better than her
