Not Getting Your Name
Unforgettable Regrets: Tyler Hilton's Tale of Missed Connections
Lyrics
Hello Miss... I'm sorry I didn't catch the rest
Greeting and expressing regret for not knowing the listener's full name.
When it comes to women, baby, you know I'm not the best
Admitting a lack of proficiency in dealing with relationships, especially with women.
Everyone I see makes it matter less anymore
Observing that encounters with people are becoming less significant in the speaker's life.
Then again I've never felt this way before
Acknowledging a unique and intense feeling the speaker has never experienced before.
And girl I don't know you so I walked away
Admitting unfamiliarity with the listener and deciding to walk away.
Just goes to show you I should have got a name
Reflecting on the mistake of not asking for the listener's name.
To go with a face that I'll never forget
Desiring a name to match the memorable face of the person.
Deep in my heart I'll always regret
Expressing deep regret in the heart for not getting the listener's name.
Not getting your name (4 times)
Emphasizing the regret of not getting the listener's name, repeated for emphasis.
Well I tried to be cool but your smile took me out
Describing failed attempts to impress the listener, particularly through a charming smile.
I tried to be slick but I was just a fool standin around
Acknowledging foolishness while attempting to be clever in the listener's presence.
I hope this is the first song that your heart has ever really heard
Hoping that the song is the first to deeply touch the listener's heart.
Cause I wrote the music, baby you wrote the words
Attributing the music to the speaker and the lyrics to the listener.
I shouldn't have let ya' if I hadn't of met ya'
Expressing regret for letting the listener in on the day of departure.
Do this on the day I'm leaving
Reflecting on the timing of meeting the listener as the speaker is leaving.
But now that you got me your everything baby
Recognizing the listener as everything and maintaining faith despite the departure.
I haven't stopped believing, no no
Reiterating the continued belief and not giving up on the potential relationship.
Not getting your name (4 times)
Repeating the lament of not obtaining the listener's name for emphasis.
I'm looking for forever always
Expressing a desire for a lasting connection and commitment.
In the sky and on the bi-ways
Seeking permanence and significance in various aspects of life.
I don't care how I look to the rest
Disregarding external appearances and opinions in the pursuit of meaningful connections.
I'll walk away and pretend my thoughts are over
Choosing to walk away and suppressing thoughts about the listener.
Man, what would it be like if I was some kind of Casanova
Reflecting on the hypothetical scenario of being a charming person like Casanova.
Romeo even knew he had the touch
Comparing oneself to Romeo but emphasizing genuine love over a dramatic love story.
I'm no star crossed lover, baby just plain in love
Clarifying the speaker's identity as a person deeply in love without the complications of fate.
And baby it's true that it could be you
Acknowledging the possibility that the listener might be the one the speaker is thinking about.
I'm thinking about while I'm singing
Connecting thoughts about the listener while singing.
And if you can help being all by yourself
Expressing a desire for the listener's company to end loneliness.
Make my phone start ringing
Requesting the listener to initiate contact and make the speaker's phone ring.
Not getting your name
Reiterating the regret of not getting the listener's name as a concluding remark.
