Lyrics
I remember once upon a time
Reflecting on a past time
I was with a girl you didn't like
Recalling a relationship with someone disliked
Mmh, in tunnel-o-vision
Expressing a perspective influenced by tunnel vision
All my friends would tell me I was blind
Acknowledging friends' warnings of being blind in the relationship
But through my eyes, I couldn't see the point
Unable to comprehend others' perspectives due to personal bias
Eventually I had to pay the price
Facing consequences for being oblivious
And you were always there
Addressing the constant presence of someone (possibly the disapproved girl)
I own you, I own you
Asserting ownership, possibly in a possessive or regretful context
Thirsty little mama, got you twisted under
Describing a girl with a strong effect, causing confusion or entanglement
Swimming in her water, here's my message in a bottle
Metaphorically expressing a message about the situation
I'm not reading comments, I've been counting commas
Indicating a focus on financial success rather than public opinion
'Cause I don't wanna tell you how I feel about her
Avoiding sharing feelings about the girl
Rapping like the way she got you round her finger
Comparing the girl's influence to a hypnotic or controlling power
Voice inside my head telling me not to sing it to you
Inner conflict about expressing feelings
Can't you see through her? Ignoring all the rumors
Suggesting a lack of awareness or intentional ignorance of rumors
She's a trick, hope she doesn't fool you (Yeah)
Warning about the girl's deceptive nature
I remember once upon a time
Repeating the theme of a past relationship with disapproval
I was with a girl you didn't like
Recalling a relationship with someone disliked
Mmh, in tunnel-o-vision
Reiterating the influence of tunnel vision in past experiences
All my friends would tell me I was blind
Highlighting the inability to see the flaws in the past relationship
But through my eyes, I couldn't see the point
Emphasizing the personal blindness to the issues in the relationship
Eventually I had to pay the price
Conveying the inevitability of facing consequences
And you were always there
Referencing the continuous presence of someone (possibly regret)
Ooh, ahh, ooh-ooh
Expressing emotional sounds, possibly representing internal conflict
Ooh, ahh, yeah
Repeating emotional sounds, adding emphasis
Ooh, ahh, ooh-ooh
Continuing emotional sounds for emphasis
Ooh, ahh, yeah
Concluding emotional sounds, possibly representing unresolved feelings
