Lyrics
Monday afternoon he's talking to his friends
Monday afternoon, he engages in conversation with his friends.
When I look into his eyes I'm reminded of the sky again
When she gazes into his eyes, it reminds her of the sky.
Look at them brighten shamelessly
His eyes brighten shamelessly when the other girl approaches.
When she comes over to him
Observing his reaction when the other girl comes over.
Everybody knows it but I still refuse
Despite everyone noticing, she refuses to accept that he would choose the other girl.
To not deny that she would be the one he'd choose
She struggles to deny the possibility that he prefers the other girl.
I lie in bed at night wondering what it would be like
Contemplating what it would be like to be in the other girl's shoes, lying awake at night.
To be in her shoes
Reflecting on the idea of being in the other girl's position.
They say don't waste your precious time
Advice not to waste time trying to decipher hidden meanings.
Trying to read between the lines
When all that's left is an empty space where she writes his name.
When all there's left is an empty space
Emphasizing the emptiness after reading between the lines.
Where I write his name
Highlighting the emptiness by referring to the space where she writes his name.
And there he goes
Describing his reaction, turning red as a rose.
And there he goes
-Watch his face as he turns red as a rose
-I think he likes her
Expressing the belief that he likes the other girl and suggesting it might be for the better, acknowledging her envy.
I think he likes her
-I think he likes her
-Maybe it's for the better
-I think he's happier
-She's perfect and it kinda makes me envy her
Feeling that the other girl is perfect and envying her.
He'll never take a second to think about me
Believing he will never consider her because the other girl is superior.
'Cause she's so much better
-It's obvious to see who he's thinking of
Clearly identifying who he's thinking of, portraying him as a knight in love with a princess.
He's a knight chasing a princess
-Wearing glass shoes and white gloves
-Even the fools can see he's helplessly in love, oh
-They walk to the train station together
Narrating a scene at the train station where he offers his umbrella to the other girl, contrasting it with her own experiences.
It starts to rain he offers his umbrella
-I'm standing in the cold trying not to think
-'Bout how you never did that with me
-And don't pretend like you didn't catch feelings
Addressing their past experiences and conversations, revealing unshared details about him.
Lying there together, staring at the ceiling
-Talking 'bout how life makes you feel blue
-I bet she didn't know that 'bout you
-And there goes time
Expressing the passage of time while pretending he's hers.
And there goes time
-Every second I pretend he's mine
-I think he likes her
Reiterating the belief that he likes the other girl, acknowledging potential happiness for him, and expressing envy.
I think he likes her
-I think he likes her
-Maybe it's for the better
-I think he's happier
-She's perfect and it kinda makes me envy her
Believing he won't think about her because the other girl is superior.
He'll never take a second to think about me
-'Cause she's so much better
-She looks so pretty
Questioning the other girl's appeal and expressing the agony of not being chosen while he thinks of her.
Baby I just gotta know
-I might not be much but
-What does she have that I don't?
-It's killing me
-It's killing me
-While I'm thinking of him
-He's, oh, he's thinking of her
-Her, her
Highlighting his thoughts being occupied by the other girl.
