Out of the Blue
Unexpected Reunion: Nostalgia and Love Resurface in 'Out of the Blue'
Lyrics
Here you are
Expression of the person's presence
And you're doing that thing again
Reference to a recurring behavior
Coming up in every conversation
Notable presence in conversations
It's been years and I still can't make it stop
Struggling to end the influence after years
But still I try anyway
Persistence in trying to overcome the impact
You get bored
Expressing boredom on the other person's part
And you text me every now and then
Occasional texting with casual inquiries
Say, "how's life?"
Common greeting questioning the state of life
Got me thinking bout you and when
Reflecting on the past relationship
You were mine and I wasn't just a thought
Recalling a time when the speaker was valued
Then out of the blue
Sudden reconnection or encounter
I'm sitting right next to you
Physical proximity with the person
Thinking I'm all in
Feeling emotionally invested
Tell me baby, are you?
Questioning the other person's commitment
Still feels like I'm trying to wake up
Continued difficulty in accepting reality
On the couch talking 'til 3 in the morning
Engaging in late-night conversations on a couch
Lucky me that we get to catch up
Expressing gratitude for the opportunity to reconnect
Fill me in on life and the obvious
Desire for updates on life and obvious matters
So here we are like when we were young
Comparison to the past, noting changes
But your hair's grown out
Physical appearance change mentioned
And you're talkin bout love
Discussion about love
6 years and you've had enough
Indication of a significant time lapse
Tell me you're all in and your mind's made up
Seeking confirmation of commitment
Then out of the blue
Reiteration of unexpected closeness
I'm sitting right next to you
Physical proximity reemphasized
Thinking I'm all in
Emotional involvement reaffirmed
Tell me baby, are you?
Seeking confirmation of mutual feelings
Though at times I let it get the best of me
Acknowledging personal struggles
Never once did I pretend not to believe
Authenticity in beliefs emphasized
Just as I was wondering
Pondering the whereabouts of a significant other
Where my girl could be
Repetition of concern for the person's location
I was wondering where my girl could be
Reiteration of concern for the person's location
I was wondering
Repetitive wondering or contemplation
Then out of the blue
Unexpected reunion reiterated
I'm sitting right next to you
Physical proximity highlighted again
Thinking I'm all in
Emotional involvement reiterated
Tell me baby, are you?
Seeking confirmation of mutual feelings reaffirmed
