Lyrics
Girl I've been reflecting
Reflecting on past actions and experiences.
How could I be so selfish
Acknowledging selfish behavior and regretting it.
Wonder if your someone elses
Wondering if the partner is involved with someone else.
If we ever get to try again
Contemplating the possibility of trying the relationship again.
I won't be so defensive, girl
Committing to be less defensive in a future relationship attempt.
You thought that I weren't trying
Addressing a perception that effort was lacking in the past.
There were times where I was helpless
Recalling moments of feeling helpless in the relationship.
Times where I felt so stranded
Expressing feelings of being stranded or lost at times.
But look how long we lasted
Highlighting the longevity of the relationship despite challenges.
I think we ended on good terms, so
Suggesting a positive ending to the relationship.
If you hit me up like
Being open to communication and reconciliation.
Meet me in town at three
Willingness to meet and resolve issues at a specified time.
I'd be there in an instant
Promising prompt response and action.
And if we somehow end up back together
Expressing belief in destiny if the relationship rekindles.
That means that it was destined
Emphasizing a narrative of the relationship being destined.
That's a northside story
Referring to the relationship as a "northside story."
Waiting for you girl you said we'll link up
Waiting patiently for the partner to reconnect.
No matter how long it will take I'll wait up
Commitment to waiting, regardless of the time it takes.
For you
Reiterating a willingness to wait for the partner.
Girl I think were destined
Believing that the relationship is destined.
But only time will tell it
Recognizing that only time will reveal the truth.
There were times where I remember I was so dishonest
Admitting past dishonesty in the relationship.
Never forget the times that we pinky promised
Recalling promises made, specifically using the term "pinky promised."
We said we'll never leave each other
Reflecting on the contradiction of promises and the eventual separation.
I guess we didn't need each other, no more
Realizing that the partners no longer needed each other.
When I look back on reflection
Looking back and acknowledging the complexity of the situation.
I know it was a crazy situation
Understanding the relationship as a challenging experience.
But sometimes you just realise
Realizing that sometimes one understands the value only in retrospect.
The grass ain't always greener on the other side, so
Recognizing that things may not be better elsewhere ("grass ain't always greener").
If you hit me up like
Openness to communication and resolution remains.
Meet me in town at three
Reiterating the prompt response to a meeting request.
I'd be there in an instant
Committing to immediate action if a reunion is possible.
And if we somehow end up back together
Expressing belief in destiny if the relationship rekindles (repeated).
That means that it was destined
Emphasizing a narrative of the relationship being destined (repeated).
That's a northside story
Referring to the relationship as a "northside story" (repeated).
