Lyrics
I didn't see you today
The speaker didn't see the person they're addressing on that particular day.
I guess you must've been sick
The person might have been absent due to illness.
And you didn't text me back
The person didn't respond to the speaker's text.
Probably on that 14-hour shift
The absence might be due to a long work shift of 14 hours.
Oh well looks like I've played myself
The speaker feels they've made a mistake or misjudgment.
Not again, hard to tell when I should
The speaker struggles to recognize when to prevent themselves from making the same mistakes.
Catch myself from falling down face first
The speaker feels they are consistently falling into trouble.
Where are you?
The speaker questions the absence of the person.
And I'm so sorry
The speaker expresses regret and apologizes.
For everything I did
The speaker apologizes for past actions.
And everything I haven't
The speaker apologizes for not doing certain things.
Oh wait I think I must've seen you today
The speaker questions if they saw the person or something else.
Or was it a bird
The speaker is uncertain if what they saw was the person or a bird.
Or maybe I'm going crazy
The speaker contemplates if they are losing their sanity.
Yeah right
The speaker dismisses the idea of losing sanity.
Laser eyes
Metaphorical reference to keen perception or insight.
Vision's been cleared
The speaker's vision or understanding is now clearer.
But I thought I saw something in you
The speaker had some expectations or hopes related to the person.
Shade over my head I'll steer
Feeling overshadowed or burdened by something related to the person.
Circus boy just call me a fool
The speaker compares themselves to a fool in a circus.
I think she likes me
The speaker believes the person has feelings for them.
That's why she doesn't reply back
The person's lack of response is interpreted as a sign of interest.
Yeah it's always something I guess
The speaker perceives there's always a reason for certain actions.
You think I'm ugly? Not six feet?
The speaker wonders if their appearance or height is the reason for the lack of response.
Is it something like that?
The speaker questions if their physical appearance is an issue.
I'm assuming just so I can put it to rest
The speaker assumes reasons to seek closure.
Where are you?
Reiteration of questioning the person's whereabouts.
And I'm so sorry
Continued apology for past and present actions.
For everything I did
Repeated apology for past actions.
And everything I haven't
Apology for not fulfilling certain actions or expectations.
Where are you?
Reiteration of the concern about the person's absence.
I'm so sorry
Final apology and expression of regret for the situation.
