Lyrics
Well you know that I was lonely,
Expressing a sense of loneliness in the past.
I never really thought you’d go.
Unexpected departure of someone significant.
I thought you were my one and only,
Believed the departed person was the only love.
I was wrong and now I know.
Admits a mistake in judgment and realization.
CHORUS:
Chorus introducing the theme of searching for someone.
Where are you now;
A direct question about the current whereabouts of the person.
Where are you now.
Repeated question, emphasizing the urgency or desperation.
Sneaking through the back streets,
Describing a state of feeling down while navigating less-traveled paths.
Feeling kinda low.
Expressing a low emotional state.
Checking out the dead beats,
Investigating undesirable or hopeless situations.
No place left to go.
Feeling trapped with no apparent solutions.
She said I’m leaving for a short while,
Indicating a temporary departure and a request for a decision.
Make up your mind while I’m gone.
Linking the departure to a need for a decision during the absence.
Something old and something borrowed
Referring to traditional elements but expressing sadness in their absence.
Since you’ve gone I’m feeling blue.
Feeling down or depressed since the departure.
CHORUS
Repetition of the chorus, emphasizing the ongoing search.
Said your dreaming about your future,
Describing a focus on future dreams and a struggle with the past.
You keep chasing up the past,
Continued pursuit of the past despite aspiring for the future.
Smile at your old friends as they walk by,
Acknowledging old connections while facing the present.
You’ve got to make these moments last
Emphasizing the importance of cherishing current moments.
I’m not the type to say I’m sorry
Declaring a reluctance to apologize for past actions.
For all the things that I have done
Expressing discomfort with humility and remorse.
I hate to crawl, I feel belittled
Rejecting the act of submission or apology.
You say I’m right, I’m never wrong
Claiming correctness despite the apparent wrongs.
