Whatever That Was
Unveiling Emotional Shadows: Whatever That Was by Tegan and Sara
Lyrics
Been dragging 'round this town in a bad mood lately
Expressing a recent period of feeling down in the town.
Feel like somebody died, baby who's going to save me?
Conveying a sense of deep sadness, seeking salvation.
I guess I never really ever knew me at all
Reflecting on a lack of self-awareness in the past.
And I guess I never thought about it 'til you were gone
Realizing the importance of self-awareness only after a person has left.
Feel like somebody died, baby, who's gonna save me?
Reiterating the feeling of loss and the need for rescue.
You used to call me out wherever I was
Recalling a time when the person used to be called out.
I used to love you girl, whatever that was
Nostalgically remembering a past love without fully understanding it.
The more I think about it now, that's all that it was
Realizing that the past love might have been more superficial than initially thought.
The more I think about it now, that's all that it was
Repeating the realization that the past love was not as deep as perceived.
Been dragging 'round this town every lie that you told me
Bearing the weight of lies from the past relationship.
Feel like I lost my mind, baby, can you really blame me?
Feeling a sense of confusion and attributing it to the past lies.
I guess I never really ever knew you at all
Recognizing a lack of understanding of the partner in the past.
And I guess I never thought about it 'til you were gone
Acknowledging the failure to think deeply about the relationship until it ended.
Feel like I lost my mind, baby, can you really blame me?
Expressing the mental toll of the relationship's end.
You used to call me out wherever I was
Recalling a time when the person used to be called out.
I used to love you, girl, whatever that was
Nostalgically remembering a past love without fully understanding it.
The more I think about it now, that's all that it was
Realizing that the past love might have been more superficial than initially thought.
The more I think about it now, that's all that it was
Repeating the realization that the past love was not as deep as perceived.
I don't think about you much at all (I think about you)
Expressing a lack of frequent thoughts about the ex-partner.
I don't ever wonder how you are (I wonder 'bout you)
Affirming a lack of curiosity about the ex-partner's current state.
Every time I find myself wishing you weren't gone
Admitting to occasional moments of longing for the departed person.
I just tell myself that I was wrong
Choosing to believe in self-deception to cope with the loss.
The more I think about it now, that's all that it was
Reiterating the realization that the past love was not profound.
The more I think about it now, that's all that it was
Emphasizing the shallow nature of the past relationship.
I don't think about you much at all
Reiterating a lack of frequent thoughts about the ex-partner.
I don't think about you much at all
Affirming a lack of curiosity about the ex-partner's current state.
I don't ever wonder how you are
Stating an absence of wondering about the ex-partner's well-being.
I don't think about you much at all
Finalizing the sentiment of infrequent thoughts about the ex-partner.
