Lyrics
When you saw me
Describing a specific moment when the speaker was noticed by someone.
That Saturday
Indicates the timeframe of the event, specifying it as a Saturday.
You turned away when I said "Hey"
The person being addressed turned away upon the speaker's greeting.
Looked at your phone
Describes the other person looking at their phone, possibly distracted.
And I was all alone
Expresses a sense of isolation as the speaker felt alone in that moment.
You looked and said
The person acknowledges the speaker's presence and makes a decision.
"I think I'll leave instead"
Direct quote of the other person deciding to leave instead of engaging further.
Because
Transition to an explanation or justification for the decision.
I cannot think about you when
Expresses difficulty in thinking about the addressed person when they are absent.
You're not around and I'm feelin' down
Highlights the emotional state of the speaker when the other person is not present.
When you saw me
Repetition of the scenario, reinforcing the experience on a Saturday.
That Saturday
Recalls the other person turning away upon the speaker's greeting.
You turned away when I said "Hey"
Restates the action of the other person looking at their phone.
Looked at your phone
Reiterates the feeling of isolation as the speaker was left alone.
And I was all alone
Repeats the decision of the other person to leave instead of staying.
You looked and said

Restating the decision as the reason for the subsequent actions.
