Lyrics
I'll see you when I see you, as long as it's soon
I anticipate meeting you in the near future
Grab a coffee at a cafe some afternoon, but until then, when we can try again
Suggests a casual plan to share a coffee at a cafe in the afternoon until the next meeting
I'll do my best to remain your friend
Expresses a commitment to maintaining friendship in the meantime
And the days are dragging on like a slow motion dream
Describes the passing of time as slow and dreamlike
I see you in every movie on every screen
Indicates a constant presence of the person in various aspects of life, like in movies and on screens
Baby, I don't wanna have to try so damn hard just to get by
Expresses a desire to avoid excessive effort to cope with life's challenges
I'll see you soon, I'll see you soon
Reiterates the anticipation of seeing the person soon
As long as "soon" means the same thing to you
Questions if the concept of "soon" holds the same meaning for both parties
I'll see you soon, I'll see you soon
Reaffirms the expectation of a soon meeting
As long as you wanna see me too
Dependent on the other person's desire to meet
I'll see you when I see you, if ever again
Leaves the timing of the next meeting uncertain
Why is it that good things always come to an end?
Raises a philosophical question about the transience of good things
I looked nice today, and I wish you saw
Expresses a desire for the other person to notice and appreciate the speaker's efforts to look good
Not that you'd care, cause all you see are the flaws
Highlights a perception that the other person only sees flaws
I'll see you soon, I'll see you soon
Reiterates the expectation of a soon meeting
As long as "soon" means the same thing to you
Questions if "soon" has a consistent meaning for both
I'll see you soon, I'll see you soon
Reiterates the expectation of a soon meeting
As long as you wanna see me too
Dependent on the other person's desire to meet
Waiting, aching, how long were you faking?
Expresses impatience and emotional pain, questioning the sincerity of the other person
I'm breaking, shaking, there is no escaping
Describes emotional turmoil and a sense of being trapped
I'm not complaining, that's not what I'm chasing, babe
Clarifies that the speaker is not complaining but seeking better treatment
I just wanted you to be a bit better to me
Expresses a desire for improved behavior from the other person
Straining, changing, it wasn't sustaining
Describes a process of change that was not sustainable
And blaming is draining, it's not the point I'm making
Rejects blame and emphasizes a different point
I'm tired of scraping by and spiraling about why
Expresses fatigue from struggling and questioning why the other person wants a specific change
You want me to be something I could see
Expresses a desire for the other person to understand and accept the speaker as they are
I'll see you soon, I'll see you soon
Reiterates the expectation of a soon meeting
As long as soon means the same thing to you
Questions if "soon" has a consistent meaning for both
I'll see you soon, I'll see you soon
Reiterates the expectation of a soon meeting
As long as you wanna see me too
Dependent on the other person's desire to meet
Straining, changing, it wasn't sustaining
Repeats the theme of change and sustainability
And blaming is draining, it's not the point I'm making
Rejects blame and emphasizes a different point
I'm tired of scraping by and spiraling about why
Expresses fatigue from struggling and questioning why the other person wants a specific change
You want me to be something I could see
Reiterates the desire for the other person to see the speaker as they are
