Lyrics
Spent so much time just trying to find
Expressing the time spent searching for trustworthy people to confide in.
People that I could confide in
Describing the effort invested in finding reliable confidants.
Wasted my words and thought this time I'd be heard
Feeling that words were wasted in the past attempts to be heard and not forgotten.
And not just forgotten again
Yearning not to be overlooked or dismissed again.
And I heard someone say it's your family that you should be
Reflecting on advice to share troubles with family but expressing reluctance.
Telling your real troubles to
Contrasting the suggestion to confide in family with personal reservations.
That's not what we're here for
Rejecting the idea that the purpose is to share troubles with family.
Best you knock on their door
Suggesting seeking support from family members instead of elsewhere.
But that's something I just wouldn't do
Expressing personal reluctance to approach family for support.
How many times will they say it ain't me?
Questioning how many times others deny the speaker's experiences.
When this happens so much that's real hard to believe
Expressing skepticism due to frequent denial of the speaker's reality.
And I know we're all trying our best
Acknowledging everyone's effort to do their best in challenging situations.
At least that's what we'll say
Highlighting the tendency to say one is doing their best despite difficulties.
Still I'm waiting for the day I stop wishing that they could be you
Expressing a desire to stop wishing that others could understand the speaker's perspective.
Summertime's leaving and I met a girl
Referring to a romantic encounter during the summertime.
Someone I thought I'd break through
Expecting a breakthrough in a romantic relationship.
Surprisingly she broke right through me
Experiencing vulnerability as the other person breaks through emotional barriers.
And now I'm not sure what to do
Feeling uncertain about how to navigate the newly revealed emotions.
Hard to look back on all that I've had
Reflecting on past experiences without longing for those no longer part of the journey.
Without missing the people I've been through
Expressing the difficulty of looking back when thoughts are focused on someone specific.
Even harder to do when I'm thinking of you
Highlighting the challenge of moving on when thoughts are consumed by a particular person.
Maybe that's how I'm back here again
Suggesting that thoughts about a specific person contribute to the speaker's current state.
How many time's will they say it ain't me
Reiterating the frustration of others denying the speaker's experiences.
When this happens so much that's real hard to believe
Expressing continued skepticism due to persistent denial from others.
And I know we're all trying our best
Acknowledging everyone's effort to do their best in challenging situations.
At least that's what we'll say
Reiterating the tendency to claim one is doing their best despite difficulties.
Still I'm waiting for the day I stop wishing that they could be you
Expressing a desire to stop wishing that others could understand the speaker's perspective.
Oooo
Oooo
-Still I'm waiting for the day I stop wishing that they could be you
Repeating the desire to stop wishing that others could understand the speaker's perspective.
How many time's will they say it ain't me
Reiterating the frustration of others denying the speaker's experiences.
When this happens so much that's real hard to believe
Expressing continued skepticism due to persistent denial from others.
And I know we're all trying our best
Acknowledging everyone's effort to do their best in challenging situations.
At least that's what we'll say
Reiterating the tendency to claim one is doing their best despite difficulties.
Still I'm waiting for the day I stop wishing that they could be you
Expressing a desire to stop wishing that others could understand the speaker's perspective.
