Take Two
Chasing Shadows of Love: Katie Smith's 'Take Two' Story
Lyrics
I only thought you liked me cause of the shirt I wore when we first met
I believed your interest in me was superficial, based on the shirt I wore when we first met.
Saw you at a show last week and I glimpsed at you between the sets
Recently saw you at a concert, stole glances between musical sets.
How could I forget the distance between you and I, guess it slipped my mind
Forgot about the emotional distance between us; it slipped from my thoughts.
Sitting in my room that night I felt warm inside yet I cried and I cried
Felt warmth but cried in my room that night, conflicting emotions.
I only see you in red or blue
Associating you with specific colors, red or blue.
Only for you will I consciously act a fool
Willing to act foolishly only for you.
I'll run into you every now and then
Encountering you occasionally.
But one of these days I'll read the signs that we should try again
Hoping to recognize signs indicating we should give the relationship another chance.
Consciously dreaming, I'm too much in my head
Consciously daydreaming, trapped in my thoughts.
I'm used to seeing in black and white, but now I trace colors in the steps you tread
Used to a black-and-white perspective, now discovering colors in your actions.
Away from me, you're heading the wrong direction
You're moving away from me, heading in the wrong direction.
I still love you, I guess haven't learned my lesson
Despite the pain, still love you, possibly not learning from past mistakes.
I only see you in red or blue
Perceiving you primarily in red or blue hues.
Only for you will I consciously act a fool
Willing to act foolishly only when it concerns you.
I'll run into you every now and then
Encountering you occasionally.
But one of these days I'll read the signs that we should try again
Expressing hope to recognize signs for a potential relationship revival.
I'm afraid I'll always be missing you
Fearful of always longing for you.
I feel like a mirage of you
Feeling like a distorted reflection or illusion of you.
Look what you've done
Reflecting on the impact of your actions.
I've turned into absolutely no one
Feeling a sense of identity loss, becoming no one.
I only see you in red or blue
Perceiving you primarily in red or blue hues.
Only for you will I consciously act a fool
Willing to act foolishly only when it concerns you.
I'll run into you every now and then
Encountering you occasionally.
But one of these days I'll read the signs that we should try again
Expressing hope to recognize signs for a potential relationship revival.
