Seen It Coming
Unveiling Heartbreak: The Poignant Tale of 'Seen It Coming' by The Church
Lyrics
Hey man, think it through now
Addressing someone, advising them to think carefully.
Why don't you stay for a while
Suggesting the person stay and reflect for a while.
Eve and Aurora gonna come on over
Referring to Eve and Aurora coming to bring joy.
Know they're gonna make make you smile
Anticipating that their presence will make the person happy.
And cool your heels
Encouraging the person to relax or be patient.
I know just how it feels
Expressing empathy, understanding the person's emotions.
You should've seen it coming
Reflecting on a situation that was predictable or foreseeable.
Been coming for some time
Indicating that the event had been anticipated for a while.
You've got your broken heart
Acknowledging the presence of a broken heart.
And I've got mine
Confirming that both parties involved have suffered.
Yeah, she said it's over
Quoting someone declaring the end of a relationship.
But it was over right from the start
Asserting that the relationship was doomed from the beginning.
You ain't gonna tell me that you were a saint
Rejecting the idea that the person was innocent or faultless.
Every time you two were apart
Highlighting challenges during separation.
You blew your chance
Stating that an opportunity for reconciliation was missed.
So face the music and dance
Encouraging acceptance and facing the consequences.
You should've seen it coming
Reiterating the predictability of the situation.
Been coming for some time
Emphasizing the foresight of the impending event.
You've got your broken heart
Acknowledging the presence of a broken heart again.
I've got mine
Confirming the speaker's own experience of heartbreak.
You've got your broken heart
Repeating the acknowledgment of a broken heart for emphasis.
I've got mine
Reaffirming the speaker's personal experience of heartbreak.
You should've seen it coming
Reiterating the earlier statement about foreseeing the situation.
... some time
Continuing the emphasis on the predictability of the event.
You've got your broken heart
Repeating the acknowledgment of a broken heart, but with a twist.
And I feel fine (feel so fine)
Expressing a positive or indifferent attitude towards the broken heart.
Talk about it (feel so fine)
Encouraging discussion or expression about the situation.
