Lyrics
Five foot three with the glasses, black dress she's the one they talk about
Describing a woman who stands out and is a subject of conversation.
Stuck in a daydream daze on the weekends, thinking you'd probably notice me by now
Feeling lost in a daydream, hoping to be noticed.
I'm not the type to lift my expectations
Usually doesn't set high hopes or anticipations.
But I'd waste all of my time with you
Willing to invest time despite potential waste.
Sell my soul for some of your attention
Desiring attention at the cost of sacrificing personal values.
But I'm see through
Feeling transparent or easily seen through.
I can't keep carrying on like this
Unable to continue with the current emotional strain.
Why don't you see me
Questioning why the subject doesn't notice the singer.
Look what we could be
Highlighting the potential of a relationship.
You're making a mess in my head
Expressing emotional turmoil caused by the subject.
And you don't even know my name
Feeling unnoticed by the subject.
Do you lay awake in his bed
Speculating about the subject's thoughts while with someone else.
And stare at the ceiling, counting your breathing
Imagining the subject's introspection.
I can be someone you'll just forget
Willingness to be forgotten by the subject.
Someone to forget
Accepting the possibility of being easily forgotten.
I'm a stressed out mess when you're with him, didn't think I was the jealous type
Unexpectedly feeling jealousy when the subject is with someone else.
Letterman jacket, nicotine habit, tragic he keeps you on the sidelines
Describing characteristics of the person the subject is with.
I die a little when he touches your body
Experiencing emotional pain when imagining the subject with someone else.
He doesn't think about you like I do
Believing the singer's feelings for the subject are deeper than the other person's.
Could knock me out if he knew what I'm feeling
Feeling vulnerable if the other person knew the singer's emotions.
But I want you
Admitting a strong desire for the subject.
I can't keep carrying on like this
Unable to sustain the current emotional state.
Why don't you see me
Reiterating the lack of acknowledgment by the subject.
Look what we could be
Highlighting the potential of a relationship again.
You're making a mess in my head
Reinforcing the emotional turmoil caused by the subject.
And you don't even know my name
Continued feeling of being unknown to the subject.
Do you lay awake in his bed
Imagining the subject's thoughts while with someone else (repeated).
And stare at the ceiling, counting your breathing
Imagining the subject's introspection (repeated).
I can be someone you'll just forget
Reiterating willingness to be forgotten by the subject.
Someone to forget
Reinforcing acceptance of potential forgetfulness.
I can see us now moving to the backseat
Visualizing a potential intimate moment with the subject.
Telling me I star in your fantasies
Belief that the singer is part of the subject's fantasies.
Wish I was the one that you're sneaking out with
Desiring to be the one the subject secretly meets.
God I'm getting sick of this daydream
Expressing frustration with the ongoing daydream.
Can't keep carrying on like this
Unable to continue with the current emotional strain (repeated).
Why don't you see me
Reiterating the lack of acknowledgment by the subject (repeated).
Look what we could be
Reiterating the potential of a relationship (repeated).
You're making a mess in my head
Reinforcing the emotional turmoil caused by the subject (repeated).
And you don't even know my name
Continued feeling of being unknown to the subject (repeated).
Do you lay awake in his bed
Imagining the subject's thoughts while with someone else (repeated).
And stare at the ceiling, counting your breathing
Imagining the subject's introspection (repeated).
I can be someone you'll just forget
Reiterating willingness to be forgotten by the subject (repeated).
Someone to forget
Reinforcing acceptance of potential forgetfulness (repeated).
