Looking Up
Navigating the Maze of Unspoken Longings
Lyrics
There was a girl I knew who liked me
Reflecting on a girl from the past who had a secret liking for the speaker
She didn't want anybody to know
She preferred to keep her feelings for the speaker private
But then you know I didn't think much of her back in High School
The speaker didn't value her much during high school
I don't even remember her name
The speaker can't recall her name
Even if there was a spark there
Even if there was a connection, uncertain if it would lead to the present
There's no telling if she would be here now
Speculation about the possibility of her presence now
Or maybe was it all just a dream
Questioning if the past interactions were real or just a dream
She's all alone right now
Current state of the girl being alone
And there's not much we can do about it
Limited ability to change her situation
What she doesn't know is I'm in the same boat
Revelation that the speaker is in a similar lonely situation
But things are looking up now
A positive shift in circumstances
You gotta keep on moving cause you're running out of time
Encouragement to keep moving forward due to the limited time
Things are looking up now
Reiteration of the improved situation
You know you won't be here forever baby, gotta do it right
A reminder that the current state is temporary, emphasizing doing things right
Things are looking up now
Confirmation of the positive turn of events
Why in the world would you love me
Questioning the reason for someone to love the speaker
Things are looking up now
Reiteration of the improved situation
And why didn't you ever call me
Curiosity about why the person never contacted the speaker
Maybe if you weren't so unpredictable
Suggesting the unpredictability of the person in question
Then there would be a reason for me
Expressing a need for a reason to notice the person
Because then I would have noticed
Recognition that predictability would have made a difference
The stolen looks from beyond the sea
Recalling stolen glances or moments of connection
And everytime you felt your heartache
Connecting emotional pain with the person
The stars above would shout and call your name
Imagery of stars responding to the person's heartache
You know that the world revolves around you
Suggesting a sense of self-centeredness in the person
She's all alone right now
Reiteration of the girl's current loneliness
And there's not much we can do about it
Limited ability to change her situation
What she doesn't know is I'm in the same boat
Revelation that the speaker is in a similar lonely situation
But things are looking up now
A positive shift in circumstances
You gotta keep on moving cause you're running out of time
Encouragement to keep moving forward due to the limited time
Things are looking up now
Reiteration of the improved situation
You know you won't be here forever baby, gotta do it right
A reminder that the current state is temporary, emphasizing doing things right
Things are looking up now
Confirmation of the positive turn of events
Why in the world would you love me
Questioning the reason for someone to love the speaker
Things are looking up now
Reiteration of the improved situation
And why didn't you ever call me
Curiosity about why the person never contacted the speaker
But things are looking up now
A positive shift in circumstances
You gotta keep on moving cause you're running out of time
Encouragement to keep moving forward due to the limited time
Things are looking up now
Reiteration of the improved situation
You know you won't be here forever baby, gotta do it right
A reminder that the current state is temporary, emphasizing doing things right
Things are looking up now
Confirmation of the positive turn of events
Why in the world would you love me
Questioning the reason for someone to love the speaker
