Thinking of You
Endless Thoughts of Love and Loss: Unraveling 'Thinking of You'
Lyrics
Sometimes I look at you
Sometimes, the speaker observes you.
Making five out of two and two
You turn difficult situations (five) into manageable ones (two and two).
And I wonder how far will you go
The speaker wonders about your potential and how successful you'll be.
Across this frequent mile
You face challenges represented by the frequent miles, and the speaker feels heartbreak.
My heart breaks and I force a smile
Despite the speaker's emotional pain, they pretend to be happy for you.
How I love you, you will never know
The speaker loves you deeply, but you may not realize the extent of their feelings.
And if you find it, what you're looking for,
If you find what you're searching for,
How will you know? (I'm thinkin' how will you know?)
The speaker questions how you will recognize it.
And when I'm dying, could I have loved you more?
Contemplating on the speaker's death, did they give enough love?
Can I let you go?
The speaker wonders if they can let you go.
I'm thinking, thinking, thinking, thinking
The speaker is consistently lost in thoughts about you.
I'm always thinking of you
Expressing the constant presence of thoughts about you.
Where will you go?
Pondering where your life journey will take you.
I'm thinking, thinking, thinking, thinking
Reiteration of the persistent thoughts about you.
I'm always thinking of you
Reiterating the speaker's continual preoccupation with thoughts of you.
Where will you go?
Questioning the destination of your life path.
It hurts to be so close
The speaker feels emotional pain being close to your struggles and hopes.
To such pain, and so much hope
Expressing the conflicting emotions of pain and hope.
You're too young to be so broken
Commenting on your youth and the emotional challenges you face.
And so we spend each day
Describing the routine of avoiding painful truths each day.
Our eyes meet and we look away
There's a mutual avoidance of acknowledging certain harsh realities.
Some things are too bad to be spoken
Some things are too difficult to verbalize.
And if you find it, this heart you're looking for,
If you find the speaker's heart, will you face it alone?
(Will you go alone?)
Pondering whether you'll face challenges alone.
Will you go alone?
The speaker questions your ability to rise above challenges alone.
Can you rise up, and keep looking forward?
Can you maintain optimism and keep moving forward?
(And still have hope?)
Pondering if hope can endure.
Will you still have hope?
Wondering if hope persists in challenging circumstances.
I'm thinking, thinking, thinking, thinking
Reiteration of the perpetual thoughts about you.
I'm always thinking of you
Continued expression of the constant preoccupation with thoughts of you.
Where will you go?
Questioning the future direction of your life.
I'm thinking, thinking, thinking, thinking
Reiterating the speaker's persistent thoughts about you.
I'm always thinking of you
Reiteration of the speaker's continual preoccupation with thoughts of you.
Where will you go?
Questioning the destination of your life path.
I'm thinking, thinking, thinking, thinking
Reiteration of the perpetual thoughts about you.
I'm always thinking of you
Continued expression of the constant preoccupation with thoughts of you.
Where will you go?
Questioning the future direction of your life.
I'm thinking, thinking, thinking, thinking
Reiterating the speaker's persistent thoughts about you.
I'm always thinking of you
Reiteration of the speaker's continual preoccupation with thoughts of you.
Where will you go?
Questioning the destination of your life path.
