See You Around
Echoes of Love Lost: Taylor O'Connor's 'See You Around' Story
Lyrics
See You Around
Expression of encountering the person in various places or situations
It feels a bit weird walking out my front door
Reflecting on the discomfort of leaving home without the person
Now that your not in my drive way
Noticing the absence of the person in the driveway
But I still got your spot saved
Symbolic gesture of keeping a place for the person despite their absence
I hate watching reruns of our favorite shows
Disliking the repetition of memories through watching shared favorite shows
But not as much as sleeping with your ghosts
Expressing the difficulty of dealing with memories and past experiences
Your engrained in my head but I won't crawl to your side of the bed
Acknowledging the lingering thoughts of the person but maintaining emotional distance
You're everywhere, pick a place and I'll see you there cause I -
Highlighting the omnipresence of the person in different locations
See you around, in every house with a yellow door
Seeing the person in every house with a yellow door
In every blue hand me down Ford, speeding through the red light
Noting the presence of the person in every blue hand-me-down Ford, breaking traffic rules
I still look for you everytime I see a smile across the room
Continuing to look for the person whenever a smile is noticed in a room
Every cheap wooden dive bar stool
Associating the person with memories in every ordinary bar stool
I don't even need to see you out, to see you around
Emphasizing the pervasive nature of the person's influence without direct encounters
I dont want to hate Main Street, but it feels like a bad dream
Expressing negative feelings towards Main Street due to painful memories
I live over and over every time I'm close to closure,
Reliving emotional turmoil when nearing closure
And screw the picture frames that used to hang right where you left me
Rejecting the significance of picture frames left behind by the person
Guess that's where I'll be
Accepting the enduring presence of memories where the person used to be
You're everywhere, pick a place and I'll see you there cause I -
Reiteration of the person being everywhere, with an invitation to choose a location
See you around, in every house with a yellow door
Repeating the idea of encountering the person in houses with yellow doors
In every blue hand me down Ford, speeding through the red light
Reaffirming the connection to the person in blue hand-me-down Fords and red lights
I still look for you everytime I see a smile across the room
Continuing to search for the person in smiles across the room
Every cheap wooden dive bar stool
Associating the person with memories in ordinary dive bar stools
I don't even need to see you out, to see you around
Stating the ability to sense the person's presence without direct visual confirmation
When I smell that creed cologne, it takes me back to you taking me home
Linking the scent of a cologne to memories of being taken home by the person
To every house with a yellow door
Reiterating the association of the person with houses featuring yellow doors
In every blue hand me down Ford, speeding through the red light
Affirming the presence of the person in blue hand-me-down Fords and red lights
I still look for you everytime I see a smile across the room
Continuing to seek the person in smiles across the room
Every cheap wooden dive bar stool
Persistently connecting the person to memories in dive bar stools
I don't even need to see you out, to see you around
Emphasizing the ability to perceive the person's presence without direct visual confirmation
Ill always be seeing you around
Committing to continuously encountering and remembering the person
