Do You Believe Me Now
Love's Betrayal: Highway Bros' Song Explores Doubt and Heartache
Lyrics
Do you remember the day I turned to you and said
Expressing a specific moment of asking if the listener recalls a past event when the speaker confided in them.
I didn't like the way he was looking at you, yeah
Recalling a situation where the speaker expressed concern about someone's intentions toward the listener.
How he made you laugh, you just couldn't get what I was saying
Describing the listener's reaction to the speaker's concerns, highlighting a misunderstanding due to laughter and lack of comprehension.
It was my imagination
Acknowledging that the speaker's suspicions were based on imagination rather than reality.
So do you believe me now, I guess I really wasn't that crazy
Posing a question to the listener, questioning whether they now believe the speaker's previous concerns were valid.
And I knew what I was talkin' about, every time the sun goes down
Asserting confidence in the speaker's previous statements, emphasizing clarity during specific times of the day.
Hes the one thats holdin' you, baby, yeah, me I'm missin' you way across town
Imagining the person in question (he) being close to the listener while the speaker is distant, expressing feelings of longing.
So do you believe me now
Reiterating the earlier question, asking if the listener now believes the speaker's past assertions.
I'm kickin' myself for being the one foolish enough
Regretting a past action, blaming oneself for allowing someone else an opportunity that had negative consequences.
Givin' him the chance to step in my shoes
Reflecting on the mistake of giving someone else a chance to be in the speaker's position.
Oh, he was bidin' his time when he saw our love
Suggesting that the third person (he) was patiently waiting for an opportunity when the speaker and the listener were vulnerable.
Was havin' a moment of weakness, he was there between us
Detailing a moment of weakness in the relationship, with the third person taking advantage of the emotional distance between the speaker and the listener.
So do you believe me now, I guess I really wasn't that crazy
Prompting the listener again to reconsider and believe the speaker's previous assertions.
And I knew what I was talkin' about, every time the sun goes down
Reaffirming the speaker's confidence in their earlier statements, referencing specific times of the day.
Hes the one thats holdin' you, baby, yeah, me I'm missin' you way across town
Repeating the imagery of the third person holding the listener, while the speaker is distant and yearning.
So do you believe me now
Reiterating the question of whether the listener now believes the speaker's previous claims.
Oh, yeah, I bet now you see the light
Expressing confidence that the listener now understands the truth.
Oh, oh, yeah, whats the use in being right
Questioning the value of being right when faced with the current situation.
Were not the lonely one tonight
Stating that the speaker and the listener are not the only ones experiencing loneliness in this situation.
Yeah, every time the sun goes down, hes the one thats holding you, baby
Repeating the imagery of the third person holding the listener during specific times of the day.
Yeah, me, I'm missing you way across town, so do you believe me now
Restating the speaker's distance and yearning for the listener, ending with a repetition of the question about belief.
