Lyrics

I looked from the corner of my eye, revealed an image of you near my side

Perception of the person near, but unclear and distorted

The picture wasn't quite clear, your features were distorted

Visualizing the person with unclear features

Do I have a problem with my eyesight, or do I have a problem with you?

Questioning eyesight or relationship issues


I turned to face your face, I only faced myself

Facing oneself instead of the other person

I asked myself where you were and "I don't know" was my reply

Self-inquiry about the other's whereabouts

I asked myself where you were

Repetition of the inquiry about the other's location


So I turned and walked away from me in search of you in search of me

Turning away from oneself to find the other or oneself

I tried to change and God how I wanted you to do the same

Desire for personal and mutual change

But I wouldn't have wished upon anyone this especially, not myself

Aversion to wishing such change upon oneself

Now who will cling, who will cling to your ankles

Uncertainty about who will be attached or committed


I turned to face your face, I only faced myself

Repetition of self-reflection, facing oneself

I asked myself where you were and "I don't know" was my reply

Continuation of the inquiry about the other's whereabouts

I asked myself where you were

Repetition of the inquiry about the other's location


In search of someone afraid to face with very little to say

Search for someone avoiding confrontation with little communication

I thought I saw you, just the other day

Perceived sighting of the person recently

I thought I saw you, just the other day

Repetition of the perception of seeing the person

I said "I miss you"

Expressing a feeling of missing the person

I said "I miss you... oops, sorry miss, my mistake!"

An accidental apology, acknowledging a mistake in expression


I turned to face your face, I only faced myself

Repetition of self-reflection, facing oneself

I asked myself where you were and "I don't know" was my reply

Continuation of the inquiry about the other's whereabouts

I asked myself where you were

Repetition of the inquiry about the other's location


You used to see it. I saw it coming

Recollection of past awareness and anticipation

You used to feel it and I felt you slipping

Remembering emotional connection and sensing a loss

You lost your pride you were ashamed

Noting a decline in pride and increased shame

You lost your shame now I searched in vain

Loss of shame leading to futile search

I asked myself where you were and "I don't know" was my reply

Repetition of the inquiry about the other's whereabouts

I asked myself where you were

Repetition of the inquiry about the other's location
