Lyrics
He got elf ears
Commenting on the person's unique physical feature, likely in an admiring manner.
I think it's kinda hot I guess it's also kinda weird
Expressing mixed feelings about finding the uniqueness attractive yet unconventional.
He's so queer
Describing the person as unconventional or different in a positive sense.
I feel kinda dumb, don't know how I might appear
Feeling uncertain about one's own perception or image in connection to this person's uniqueness.
He's a cashier
Indicating the person works as a cashier, a mundane job.
Met him on a train going nowhere
Met this person while traveling aimlessly.
Can't keep my head clear
Feeling mentally clouded or confused because of the encounter.
Its been a long night, I try, it feels right, it feels right
Describing the passage of time, trying to make sense of the situation, feeling it's fitting.
He said I bet you're so queer
Referring to the person's assumption about the singer's unconventional nature.
I gave him a look and said yeah
Confirming the assumption about being unconventional.
So queer
Reiterating the statement about being unconventional.
Why do you care?
Questioning why the other person is interested in the singer's unconventional nature.
Still figuring shit out don't doubt I'm out of it
Expressing ongoing personal discovery and uncertainty, feeling disconnected.
I'm so queer
Reiterating the unconventional nature, confirming awareness of it for a while.
I've known for a while, known for a couple years
Asserting long-term self-awareness of being unconventional.
They stare, don't care, grab my hair, feel you way here
Ignoring the judgmental stares, inviting the person to feel their way closer.
And I was I like fanfare, I swear, summer air, somewhere in the city
Recalling a joyful or celebratory moment, possibly hinting at a romantic encounter in the city.
He said I bet you're so queer
Repeating the assumption about the singer's unconventional nature from another's perspective.
I gave him a look and said yeah
Confirming the assumption again about being unconventional.
So queer
Reiterating the statement about being unconventional.
Cause I know we danced in the city lights
Recollection of dancing with this person in the city lights, a memorable experience.
Yeah I know that feeling, yeah
Acknowledging familiarity with the feeling, likely of joy or connection.
And he said
Introducing the other person's repetition of the term "So queer."
So queer
Repeating the description of the singer as unconventional.
He's so fine
Admiring the person's attractiveness but expressing concern about a significant other's reaction.
I hope my girlfriend doesn't mind
Worrying about the perception of the singer's partner regarding the attraction felt.
I'm getting kinda shy
Feeling bashful or timid about the attraction towards this unconventional person.
I just put my mind aside for a while
Deciding to momentarily set aside rational thinking to explore feelings.
He said I bet you're so queer
Repeating the assumption about the singer's unconventional nature made by the person.
I gave him a look and said yeah
Confirming the assumption again about being unconventional.
So queer
Reiterating the statement about being unconventional.
Cause I know we danced in the city lights
Recollecting another instance of dancing in the city lights with this person, reinforcing the memorable experience.
Yeah I know that feeling, yeah
Acknowledging familiarity with the feeling, likely of joy or connection.
And he said
Introducing the other person's repetition of the term "So queer."
So queer
Repeating the description of the singer as unconventional.
