Lyrics

Have you been thinking of me

Asking if the person has been thinking about the speaker

We used to walk home at three

Recalling a time when they used to walk home together at 3 AM

You'd follow me home

Describing how the person used to follow the speaker home

Walk to your own

Highlighting the shared routine of walking to each other's homes

We were so sweet

Reflecting on the sweetness of their relationship

Couldn't believe it back then

Expressing disbelief at the past relationship

You were my very best friend

Acknowledging the person as the speaker's best friend

I can't comprehend

Feeling unable to understand life before the person

What life was like before you

Stating that life before the person is incomprehensible

Do you still remember that day

Asking if the person remembers a specific day

You told me you're moving away

Recalling the day when the person mentioned moving away

I kissed you at school

Remembering a moment of intimacy - kissing at school

You blushed like a fool

Describing the person's reaction - blushing

But you ran away

Noting that the person ran away after the kiss

I almost thought I was dreaming

Expressing disbelief or surreal feelings about the situation

You played out all of my fears

Acknowledging that the person played on the speaker's fears

I just wanted to

Expressing a desire to be loved by the person

To be loved by you

Conveying the emotional impact through tears

I cried so many tears

Reiterating the closeness they once shared

We were so close

Expressing how close they were to being in love

To being in love

Musing on what could have been if they had a chance

If we only had a chance

Suggesting that something might have lasted if given a chance

Maybe something would've last

Attributing the situation to divine plans, indicating acceptance

Guess it wasn't in God's plans

Feeling emotionally stuck or frozen in the aftermath

Got me frozen baby

Emphasizing the frozen state, possibly in the past

And I'm frozen in time

Expressing disbelief at not being able to call the person their own

Can't believe I never

Reflecting on the impossibility of changing the past

Got to call you mine

Expressing regret at not having the opportunity to call the person theirs

And if I could go back

Contemplating the possibility of going back in time

Maybe rewrite the past

Expressing a desire to rewrite the past

I know one thing I'd do

Stating a clear action they would take if given the chance

I would have run after you

Expressing regret at not pursuing the person

We were so close

Reiterating the closeness they once shared

To being in love

Expressing how close they were to being in love

If we only had a chance

Musing on what could have been if they had a chance

Maybe something would've last

Suggesting that something might have lasted if given a chance

Guess it wasn't in God's plans

Attributing the situation to divine plans, indicating acceptance

We were so close

Reiterating the closeness they once shared

To being in love

Expressing how close they were to being in love

If we only had a chance

Musing on what could have been if they had a chance

Maybe something would've last

Suggesting that something might have lasted if given a chance

Guess it wasn't in God's plans for us

Attributing the situation to divine plans, indicating acceptance
