See You When I See You
Reflections of Unspoken Longing
Lyrics
My buddy said don't look now
Receiving advice not to notice something.
I couldn't help it so I turned around
Despite the advice, couldn't resist looking.
You were walking up through the room
Noticed the person entering the room.
Looking like you always do
They appeared as they usually do.
When you asked me how I was
Asked about their well-being.
I lied and said things were looking up
Lied about feeling optimistic.
I didn't say what I wanted to
Didn't express true feelings.
Just said I'll see you when I see you
Stated they'll meet again without specifying.
But when I see you
Anticipating the next encounter.
I see you sleeping with my sweatshirt on
Imagines seeing the person in various moments.
I see you shotgun singing our song
Recalls moments together, like singing.
I see you kissing me under the moon
Remembers intimate moments under specific circumstances.
That's how I see you when I see you
These memories shape their perception.
I see the prettiest smile that I've ever seen
Highlights the beauty seen in the person.
Some baby blue eyes looking back at me
Describes the captivating eyes of the person.
I see the girl that I shoulda gave a diamond to
Regrets not giving a special gift.
That's how I see you when I see you
Reflects on missed opportunities.
That's how I see you when I see you
Reiterates how memories define their view.
I wish I saw the girl that broke my heart
Desires to perceive the person differently.
And drove away in a fast car
Recalls a painful departure in a quick vehicle.
Yeah you know I try so hard
Expresses efforts made despite difficulties.
But that ain't how I see you
Despite hardships, refuses to see negatively.
When I see you
Anticipation of the next encounter remains positive.
I see you sleeping with my sweatshirt on
Repeats earlier imagery of memories.
I see you shotgun singing our song
Recollects shared moments, reinforcing their perception.
I see you kissing me under the moon
Memories of intimacy persist.
That's how I see you when I see you
Reiterates how these memories define their vision.
I see the prettiest smile that I've ever seen
Continues to emphasize the person's beauty.
Some baby blue eyes looking back at me
Describes the captivating eyes as a defining feature.
I see the girl that I shoulda gave a diamond to
Regrets not making a significant gesture.
That's how I see you when I see you
Repeats the impact of missed opportunities.
I wish you weren't the one that got away
Expresses regret about losing the person.
I wish I still saw you everyday
Longs for the past when they were together.
I wish we still had more to say
Wishes for more meaningful communication.
Than I'll see you when I see you, cause
Resigned to the uncertainty of the next meeting.
I see you sleeping with my sweatshirt on
Reiterates memories of intimate moments.
I see you shotgun singing our song
Recalls shared experiences, reinforcing perception.
I see you kissing me under the moon
Continued memories of affectionate moments.
That's how I see you when I see you
These memories shape their perspective upon meeting.
I see the prettiest smile that I've ever seen
Highlights the enduring beauty they perceive.
Some baby blue eyes looking back at me
Describes the captivating eyes, a memorable feature.
I see the girl that I shoulda gave a diamond to
Regrets not giving a significant gift.
That's how I see you when I see you
Repeats the impact of missed opportunities.
That's how I see you when I see you
Reiterates how memories define their perception.
