Lyrics
walking down your street
Expressing movement along the street where the person lives
while you're looking back at me
Noticing that the person being sung to is looking back
I stole flowers from your neighbor
Taking flowers from a neighbor's place to offer them to the person
to put them at your feet
Intending to present the stolen flowers as a gift at the person's feet
I stood there by your window
Positioning oneself near the person's window
and called out your name
Calling out the person's name from outside
if I did anything different
Contemplating whether different actions would have altered outcomes
would things turn out the same
Questioning if changes in actions would have resulted in the same situation
I want to go back to how thing were before
Expressing a desire to return to a previous state or time
if I knew what I know now I would have done more
Regretting not having acted differently given current knowledge
I want to go back to how thing were before
Reiterating the wish to revert to a previous situation
if I knew what I know now I would have done more
Reflecting on the missed opportunities with hindsight
walking to the bus
Walking toward a bus leading to the person's location
the one that takes me to you
Describing the specific bus route heading to the person
I waited in the hot sun
Waiting under the hot sun for transportation
for the b52
Referencing a specific bus, possibly named "B52"
I was late every time
Consistently being late, causing displeasure to the person
and you were always mad at me
Recalling the person's consistent dissatisfaction due to lateness
but you stayed there by my side
Acknowledging the person's loyalty despite frustrations
and waited patiently
Highlighting the person's patient waiting despite lateness
I want to go back to how thing were before
Repeating the desire to return to a previous state or time
if I knew what I know now I would have done more
Reiterating regret for not taking different actions with hindsight
I want to go back to how thing were before
Expressing a wish to go back to a past situation
if I knew what I know now I would have done more
Reflecting on missed opportunities and actions not taken
