Lyrics
Maybe I'm all alone
Feeling a sense of isolation or loneliness
Making up thoughts about how you feel
Creating imaginary scenarios about your emotions
And maybe I'm better of
Considering the possibility of being better off alone
'Cuz if it was supposed to happen, it would've happened by now
Accepting that if a connection was meant to happen, it would have already occurred
But when you look in my eyes, I know
Recognizing that there is a deeper understanding when making eye contact
That you think about things running in my mind
Acknowledging that the other person contemplates the thoughts running through one's mind
And when you see me you wish you could touch
Expressing a desire for physical closeness, a wish to be touched
But I know you think you're not enough
Realizing a perception of inadequacy, feeling not good enough
So I walk by, by, by
Choosing to walk by, suggesting a decision to keep a distance
So I walk by, by, by
Reiterating the choice to walk by and maintain a distance
Maybe it's not our time
Speculating that the timing for a relationship may not be right
Too young to write our love story
Feeling too young to create a love story
And maybe in another life
Contemplating an alternate existence where the relationship could have flourished
I'd be the one to hold you every night
Expressing a desire to be the one providing comfort every night
But when you look in my eyes, you know
Acknowledging reciprocal contemplation when making eye contact
That I think about things running in your mind
Indicating thoughts about the other person's mind during eye contact
And when I see you I wish I could touch
Expressing a wish to physically connect but feeling hesitant or scared
But I'm too scared, I need to be pushed
Admitting the need for encouragement or initiative to overcome fear
So I walk by, by, by
Repeating the decision to walk by, emphasizing the choice to maintain distance
So I walk by, by, by
Reiterating the decision to walk by and keep a distance
