Square One
Abby Lee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That I seem to be having over you
It's not what I'm used to
How do I get past this frustration
I see you, I can't speak, it isn't fun
I'm back to square one
My heart is racing to your beat
And I cannot look you in the eye
So I don't say what I am thinking
Hold me close and don't ever let me go
If I could, I'd tell you so
So I don't say what I am feeling
You could be, be the one that I run to
But I'm hopeless around you
And I'm back to square one
Tell me, what's this infatuation
That I seem to be having over you
How do I keep my cool
I know it might seem like I can't stand you
The truth is far from this, though I look so numb
I'm back to square one
My heart is racing to your beat
Just one look and I turn weak
And I cannot look you in the eye
So I don't say what I am thinking
Hold me close and don't ever let me go
If I could, I'd tell you so
So I don't say what I am feeling
You could be, be the one that I run to
But I'm hopeless around you
And I'm back to square one
So I don't say what I am thinking
Hold me close and don't ever let me go
If I could, I'd tell you so
So I don't say what I am feeling
You could be, be the one that I run to
But I'm hopeless around you
And I'm back to square one
And I'm back to square one
And I'm back to square one
In Abby Lee's song "Square One," the lyrics describe the singer being infatuated with someone but struggling to express their emotions. The first verse delves into the frustration that the singer feels towards their uncontrollable feelings for this person. They are unable to communicate their emotions and are back to square one, back to where they started. The chorus notes the physical reaction the singer has to their infatuation, with their heart racing when they see this person. And yet, despite their strong feelings, they can't bring themselves to express them. The second verse repeats the same sentiments, but adds a layer to the singer's internal struggle. They acknowledge that the person they are infatuated with might assume they can't stand them when, in reality, the singer is just incredibly nervous around them.
