Lyrics
Hang out for the first time
Initiating a first-time hangout
I think you're someone and I never lie
Expressing genuine belief in the person's identity
The way that you caught my eye
Noticing the captivating effect on the speaker
Took me outside and looked at the sky
Sharing a moment outdoors, contemplating the sky
We go out just to end up close in a crowd
Describing the tendency to end up close despite being in a crowd
I never knew you but I'd seen you around
Not knowing the person well but recognizing them
Hit song, well it's about time
Acknowledging a hit song and the universal experience of loneliness
Everyone's lonely and everyone's fine
Asserting that everyone is lonely but coping well
Smoking, standing outside
Depicting a scene of smoking outside
We think we're lucky and we've got that right
Feeling fortunate and having the right perspective
We go out just to end up close in a crowd
Reiterating the pattern of ending up close in a crowd
I never knew you but I'd seen you around
Recognizing the person without knowing them well
Porch light, end of the night
Referring to a porch light at the end of the night
Whatever happened to making the time?
Pondering the disappearance of making time for important things
I recollected half a second
Recalling a brief moment but time passing quickly
But every hour brushes past
Highlighting the fleeting nature of every passing hour
I don't believe in feeling nothing
Rejecting the idea of feeling nothing emotionally
I know you think I'm so unkind
Acknowledging a perception of unkindness from others
We go out just to end up close in a crowd
Repeating the theme of ending up close in a crowd
I never knew you but I'd seen you around
Reiterating recognition without deep knowledge
Porch light, end of the night
Referring again to a porch light at the end of the night
Whatever happened to making the time?
Questioning the disappearance of making time
