Lyrics
When you were here before
Reflecting on a past time when the person addressed was present
Couldn't look you in the eye
Difficulty making direct eye contact, possibly due to feelings of inadequacy or discomfort
You're just like an angel
Comparing the person to an angel, possibly emphasizing their perceived perfection or purity
Your skin makes me cry
The impact of the person's beauty or presence is emotionally overwhelming
You float like a feather
Describing the person's lightness or grace in an idealized world
In a beautiful world
Expressing a desire for a perfect and beautiful world
And I wish I was special
Expressing a wish to be special like the person
You're so fuckin' special
Reiterating the person's perceived exceptional nature
But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo.
Self-identification as a "creep" and a "weirdo," implying feelings of social inadequacy
What the hell am I doing here?
Questioning one's presence in the current situation or relationship
I don't belong here.
Expressing a sense of not belonging in the current context or with the person
I don't care if it hurts
Indicating a willingness to endure emotional pain for a perceived greater purpose
I want to have control
Desire for control, possibly over emotions or the situation
I want a perfect body
Expressing a wish for a physically perfect body
I want a perfect soul
Expressing a desire for a perfect and flawless soul
I want you to notice
Desire for the person to notice one's presence or absence
When I'm not around
Emphasizing the person's exceptional nature in their absence
You're so fuckin' special
Reiteration of the person's exceptional qualities
I wish I was special
Expressing a continued desire to be special like the person
But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo.
Reiteration of self-identification as a "creep" and a "weirdo"
What the hell am I doing here?
Continued questioning of one's presence in the current situation
I don't belong here.
Reiteration of a sense of not belonging
She's running
Introduction of a third person (she) running, possibly indicating a departure or escape
