Good To See You
Embracing Life's Complexities: Good To See You by Matilda Clothier
Lyrics
I've made my peace with it
I've come to terms with a situation
Doesn't bother me anymore
The situation no longer troubles or upsets me
Just let me know when you'll quit
Inform me when you decide to stop
With all this keeping score
Ending the practice of keeping track or competing
I saw you out the other night
I observed you recently
And your eyes hit the floor
Your gaze avoided direct eye contact
It's one drink with her and four for me
Drinking dynamics: one for her, four for me
Later on the bathroom floor
Later, experiencing distress on the bathroom floor
But it's good to see you
Despite the challenges, it's positive to encounter you
Don't be fooled by my face
Don't be deceived by my facial expression
It's good to see you
Emphasizing the positive feeling of seeing you
All in one place
All together in one location
Not spilt out over clubs and bars
A contrast to scattered encounters in various places
And the back of strangers' cars
Referencing past chaotic situations
It's good to see you
Reiterating the positivity of the encounter
Put together when we're apart
Being composed when we are not together
So I guess you're winning
Implying the other person is succeeding in the unfamiliar game
At this twisted game I've never played before
Acknowledging participation in a new and confusing game
The competition's widening
Competition becoming more challenging than expected
Further than I thought
Extending beyond initial expectations
But it's good to see you
Reiterating the positive feeling despite challenges
If only for a little time
Even if only for a brief period, it's positive to see you
It's good to see you
Seeing you from a different perspective is beneficial
In a different light
Observing you in a new light or context
All the monochrome colours I failed to discover
Colors I failed to notice previously
'Cause I shut them out of my mind
Ignored aspects of life or experiences
It's good to see you
Expressing the positivity of encountering you
So I can start a new life
An opportunity to start afresh or make a new beginning
