Car Window
Enigmatic Glances: Thomas Headon's Car Window Story
Lyrics
The girl in the car window opposite me
The singer notices a girl in a car window across from him.
She keeps on staring at me does she love me?
He wonders if her constant gaze signifies love towards him.
How will I know?
He's uncertain about how to determine her feelings.
Will I ever know?
He questions if he will ever find out her true emotions.
The girl in the car window opposite me
Reiteration of the presence of the girl in the car window.
She keeps on looking at me does she love me?
Similar to line 2, expressing his uncertainty about her affection.
How will I know?
Repeats the uncertainty about how he'll discern her feelings.
Will I ever know?
Reiterates his doubt about ever knowing her true feelings.
Kinda looks like I’ve seen her before
He feels familiar with her but also recognizes similar faces daily.
But then again I think I see the same girls everyday
He sees many similar-looking girls regularly, blurring distinctions.
They become the same
Expresses a sense of sameness or lack of uniqueness in people he sees.
I wouldn’t care if she stared a little longer
He wouldn't mind if she continued staring as he finds her cute.
She’s kinda cute but maybe she’s thinking that I look strange
He worries she might find him odd despite finding her attractive.
Is my hair okay?
He's concerned about his appearance, specifically his hair.
And is a red light really a good time to find
Questioning the suitability of a red light moment for falling for someone solely based on looks.
Someone to fall for only by eyesight
Admits he might fall for her even if it's only based on visual attraction.
Definitely not but I know that I will
Conscious that it's not an ideal way to develop feelings but anticipates it happening.
And is it the right time to be in love for a night?
Questions if it's appropriate to fall in love briefly in such a scenario.
I don’t know her name but she’s still on my mind
Even without knowing her name, she occupies his thoughts.
I’d break my own heart through a window still
Expresses willingness to risk his emotions for her, even if it might hurt him.
The girl in the car window opposite me
Reiterates the presence of the girl in the car window.
She keeps on staring at me does she love me?
Repeats his uncertainty about her feelings toward him.
How will I know? (How will I know?)
Restates the uncertainty about how he'll understand her emotions.
Will I ever know? (Will I ever know?)
Reiterates his doubt about ever knowing her true feelings.

Will I ever know?

Maybe she’s thinking of me too?
Speculates whether she might also be thinking about him.
Would that even be something she’d do?
Uncertainty if she would consider thinking about him.
Maybe she’s looking for me in a song that she’ll write
Suggests she might create a song about their encounter.
About the one guy who she saw at a red light
Imagining her potentially referencing their brief encounter in a song.
I think it’s unlikely
He doubts the likelihood of her actually writing a song about him.
She’s probably far away now the lights have changed
He thinks she's now distant as the traffic lights have changed.
Now I’ll never be the same
Reflects that the encounter has changed him in some way.
