Lyrics
When we first met
Initial encounter or meeting
You were different from now
Perceived change in the person from the past
And I didn’t know you yet
At the initial meeting, lack of familiarity
But you look like a stranger now
Observation of the person's current unfamiliarity
And I know you might be a little bit lost, can not find you, lost, can not find you
Recognition of the person's feeling of being lost or disconnected
Who made you think?
Questioning the influences shaping the person's self-perception
That you were special
Belief or assertion of personal uniqueness or importance
You said you could do anything
Past declaration of limitless capabilities
But look at you now
Contrasting the current state with past confidence
You don’t admit that you are not yourself
Refusal or denial of being true to oneself
And look at you now
Reiteration of the observation of the current state
You see, you have to wake from this
Implication to awaken from the current state
Cause I want you now, and I need you back
Expressed desire to reconnect and regain the person's former self
Cause I want you now, and I need you back
Repetition of the desire to reconnect and restore the past self
You thought you were a bad friend
Belief in being a negative influence as a friend
You thought that you were wrong to them
Self-perception of being wrong or inadequate in friendships
And nobody understands
Feeling misunderstood or lacking comprehension from others
How can you be there for them?
Doubt about supporting others due to personal struggle
And I know you might be a little bit lost, but I found you, lost but I found you
Recognition of the person's own sense of being lost and then found
They’ve just used you
Accusation of others using the person for their own benefit
For their interest
Exploitation of the person for others' interests
They don’t even care
Others' lack of concern or regard for the person
About you
Lack of care or consideration towards the person
But look at you now
Reiteration of the denial of being true to oneself
You don’t admit that you are not yourself
Refusal or denial of being genuine
And look at you now
Reiteration of the need to awaken from the current state
You see, you have to wake from this
Implying the necessity of breaking free from the current situation
Cause I want you now, and I need you back
Expressed desire for the return of the former self
Cause I want you now, and I need you back
Repetition of the desire to regain the former self
Cause I want you now, and I need you back
-Cause I want you now, and I need you back
