Lyrics
How can a first impression make a mark upon my heart
Reflecting on the impact of a first impression on the speaker's emotions.
Making my skin crawl from the morning till the dark
Expressing the lingering effect of the encounter throughout the day and night.
I don’t even know her I barely know her name
The speaker acknowledges a lack of substantial knowledge about the person.
For all I know I saw her for the last time yesterday
Contemplating the possibility that the encounter might have been the last.
We only talked one time
Highlighting the limited nature of their conversation, implying a brief interaction.
But I think of her at night

What is going on in my mind

I barely even know her name

I know I’ve only seen her face once, or twice

There’s no way she feels the same

Heaven don’t make these things that easy
Recognizing that meaningful connections are not easily formed.
I wanna see her again, but
Expressing a desire to meet the person again despite challenges.
The city is so big, the end, just leave it

Maybe it’s hopeless desire undeserved

Why does my mind want what it hasn’t earned

What is going on in my mind, in my mind

I barely even know her name
