Lyrics

There must be some misunderstanding

Expresses a belief that there is a miscommunication or confusion.

There must be some kind of mistake

Suggests a possibility of an error or mix-up.

I waited in the rain for hours

Describes waiting in the rain for an extended period.

And you were late

Highlights the disappointment of the other person being late.


Now it's not like me to say the right thing

Admits a difficulty in expressing the right words.

But you could've called to let me know

Expresses a desire for a simple courtesy call to communicate lateness.

I checked your number twice, don't understand it

Indicates confusion over the unavailability of the expected phone call.

So I went home

Decides to go home due to the lack of communication.


Well I'd been waiting for this weekend

Conveys anticipation for the weekend and potential plans.

I thought that maybe we could see a show

Expected to enjoy a show during the weekend.

Never dreamed I'd have this feeling

Expresses surprise at the unexpected emotions experienced.

Oh but seeing you is believing

Believes in the reality of the situation upon seeing the person.

That's why I don't know why

Expresses confusion about the person's absence.

You didn't show up that night

Reiterates the disappointment of the person not showing up.


There must be some misunderstanding

Repeats the theme of a misunderstanding or mistake.

There must be some kind of mistake

Emphasizes the belief in an error or miscommunication.

I was waiting in the rain for hours

Reiterates the act of waiting in the rain for an extended period.

And you were late

Repeats the disappointment of the person being late.


Since then I've been running around trying to find you

Describes efforts to locate the person since the incident.

I went to the places that we always go

Visited familiar places in search of the person.

I rang your home but got no answer

Attempts to contact the person via phone but receives no answer.

Jumped in my car, I went round there

Takes immediate action by driving to the person's location.

Still don't believe it

Expresses disbelief at the situation encountered.

He was just leaving

Discovers that the person was just leaving as they arrived.


There must be some misunderstanding

Repeats the theme of a misunderstanding, indicating persistence.

There must be some kind of mistake...

Reiterates the belief in a mistake or miscommunication.
