Lyrics

I saw you running with your friends

I observed you running with your friends

I called your name too loud- "come back"

I called your name loudly, urging you to return

So many times that it might have been embarrassing

I repeated my call multiple times, perhaps making it awkward

If you hadn't come walking back

You eventually came back, avoiding potential embarrassment


Here's where I shook you by the shoulders

I confronted you physically by shaking your shoulders

Shoved you up against a truck- 'what's up'

I pushed you against a truck, asking what's going on

It was a picture of someone getting older

The situation depicted a person aging

And of someone growing up

Also, it portrayed someone maturing or growing up


someone growing up

Reiteration of the theme of someone undergoing growth


It was like you were in disguise

You seemed to be hiding your true self

You were so nonchalant- 'come on'

You were indifferent or unconcerned, saying, 'come on'

As though your well half-lidded eyes said,

Your half-lidded eyes suggested a casual attitude

'What the hell do you want?'

As if asking, 'What do you want from me?'


well I must've said something

I must have said something reassuring for you to feel I was okay

For you to feel I was alright- 'alright'

You acknowledged that I was alright, saying 'alright'

We had a great conversation

We engaged in a meaningful conversation

That went on well into the night

This conversation extended well into the night


went on well into the night

The conversation persisted late into the night
