The Thought
Chasing Ghosts in LA: Holden Miller's Poignant Reflections on Love
Lyrics
Hey did ya know I moved out to LA
Informing about the move to Los Angeles
I still check up on your socials from time to time to make sure you're okay
Admits to checking the person's social media to ensure their well-being
Have ya heard that I've been doing well
Shares news of personal success
Or have ya heard that I've been stuck with one foot placed in heaven and one in
Expresses being torn between a heavenly state and earthly matters
And I've spent some time dating online
Reveals experience with online dating
But I don't like the thought I might swipe left on my future wife
Expresses discomfort at the idea of potentially missing out on meeting their future spouse through online dating
Hey did ya know I eat tomatoes now
Shares a change in dietary habits (eating tomatoes) as a symbol of personal growth
I don't really like 'em but it's nice to feel I've grown someway somehow
Acknowledges personal growth despite not genuinely liking tomatoes
And I've spent some days thinking of ways
Reflects on days spent contemplating how to express missing the person as a friend
To tell you I miss you but just like ya know as a friend
Expresses a non-romantic longing for the person
Ooo I'm still not over you
Confesses lingering feelings for the person
But not in the way where I kiss you I just miss the thought
Clarifies the nature of feelings as missing the idea of being with the person rather than romantic desire
Of you over dinner and movies for two
Expresses nostalgia for shared moments like dinners and movies
But not in the part where I kiss you I just miss the thought
Reiterates missing the idea rather than the physical act of being with the person
Hey did ya know I moved out to LA
Repeats information about moving to LA
And even though I smile here it was a little less crooked when I smiled at your face
Contrasts current smiles with the past, suggesting a change in emotional state
Ooo I'm still not over you
Reiterates ongoing emotional struggle over the person
But not in the way where I kiss you I just miss the thought
Restates missing the idea of the person, not the physical intimacy
Of you over dinner and movies for two
Reiterates nostalgia for shared moments like dinners and movies
But not in the part where I kiss you I just miss the thought
Reiterates missing the idea rather than the physical act of being with the person
