Be Seeing You
Whiskey-fueled Reflections: Be Seeing You by Colin Smith
Lyrics
Can't say I'm one for drinking
Expressing a reluctance or disinterest in drinking alcohol.
But tonight I find myself in neon lights
Finding oneself in a lively and possibly artificial environment, represented by "neon lights."
I tend to overthink things
Admitting a tendency to overthink situations or events.
Pretty sure she said it'd be my last chance this time
Recalling a warning or ultimatum, possibly from a significant other, about it being the last chance.
So pour me one more whiskey
Requesting another serving of whiskey to cope with emotional pain.
Let the chemicals just wash away the pain
Using substances (chemicals) to numb or alleviate emotional distress.
I'm sure this time she'll miss me
Expressing a hope that this time the person being referred to will miss the speaker.
For now I'll tell myself the same lie again
Acknowledging a repeated self-deception, possibly about the nature of the relationship.
I'll see you in the morning
Anticipating a meeting or reconciliation with the person in the morning.
Waste away the night just tryna' figure out
Spending the night contemplating and trying to understand the situation.
If I'll see you in the morning
Expressing a hope for a positive resolution in the morning.
It'll all just be alright if I can make it back somehow
Believing that everything will be alright if a return is possible.
To see you in the morning
Reiterating the anticipation of seeing the person in the morning.
I'll see you in the morning
Repeating the affirmation of meeting in the morning.
Can't say I'm one to panic
Stating a calm demeanor in stressful situations.
We've been caught in this same time and place before
Reflecting on past experiences in the same circumstances.
Maybe she'll say it's romantic
Speculating that the other person might find the situation romantic.
And maybe this old bottle will just help me find the words
Suggesting the use of alcohol to find the right words or express feelings.
So pour me one more whiskey
Requesting another round of whiskey after a relationship has failed ("crashed and burned").
Now we've crashed and burned I'll be burning this place down
Expressing a willingness to let go and move on.
I'll see you in the morning
Repeating the anticipation of a morning encounter.
Waste away the night just tryna' figure out
Continuing the contemplation through the night.
If I'll see you in the morning
Expressing hope for resolution and reassurance in the morning.
It'll all just be alright if I can make it back somehow
Believing that everything will be alright with a return.
To see you in the morning
Reiterating the anticipation of meeting in the morning.
I'll see you in the morning
Repeating the affirmation of meeting in the morning.
I'll see you in the morning
Reaffirming the intention to see the person in the morning.
I'll see you in the morning...
Concluding with a strong affirmation of seeing the person in the morning.
