Lyrics
Of course I knew that you lived near
Expressing awareness of the proximity of the person being addressed.
I guess that I will just have to suffer
Acknowledging the inevitability of experiencing hardship or pain.
I moved around a lot this year
Indicating a history of frequent relocations during the past year.
Trust me to end up near an ex-lover
Reflecting on the irony of ending up close to a former romantic partner.
Oh, well it seems
Expressing a realization or revelation.
That I have made
Claiming responsibility for a significant error or misjudgment.
A big mistake
Acknowledging the gravity of the mistake made.
But I'm not going so why'better get used to it
Committing to staying despite the acknowledged mistake and advising others to adapt to the situation.
I realise that I've been gone years
Realizing the substantial duration of absence or separation.
I didn't even write you a letter
Regretting not communicating through writing during the absence.
I could have saved a lot of tears
Suggesting that maintaining contact could have prevented emotional distress.
By keeping in touch, that would have been better
Emphasizing the hindsight understanding that communication would have been a preferable course of action.
Of course I knew that you lived near
Reiterating awareness of the proximity of the person being addressed.
I guess that I will just have to suffer
Repeating the acknowledgment of the inevitability of suffering.
I moved around a lot this year
Reiterating the history of frequent relocations during the past year.
Trust me to end up near an ex-lover
Reemphasizing the ironic situation of being near a former lover.
I don't know and
Expressing uncertainty about whether the person being addressed desires proximity.
I'm not sure if
Expressing doubt or lack of confidence in predicting the desires of the person.
You wil want me around you again
Posing the question of whether the person wants the speaker around again.
I don't know and
Repeating the theme of uncertainty about the person's desire for the speaker's presence.
I'm not sure if
Reiterating doubt or lack of assurance in predicting the person's wishes.
You wil want me around you again
Rephrasing the question of whether the person wants the speaker around again.
Of course I knew that you lived near
Reaffirming awareness of the proximity of the person being addressed.
I guess that I will just have to suffer
Reiterating the acknowledgment of the inevitability of suffering.
I moved around a lot this year
Reaffirming the history of frequent relocations during the past year.
Trust me to end up near an ex-lover
Restating the ironic situation of being near a former lover.
Of course I knew that you lived near
Repeating the awareness of the proximity of the person being addressed.
I guess that I will just have to suffer
Echoing the acknowledgment of the inevitability of suffering.
I moved around a lot this year
Duplicating the history of frequent relocations during the past year.
Trust me to end up near an ex-lover
Reiterating the ironic situation of ending up near an ex-lover.
