And I, cant seem to understand
What I've been thinking
And although your coming clearly now
It's hard for me to turn around and keep from blinking
All that I can do is be their
And heaven knows that I swear you do something to me
That I'll never ever tell a lie
Your so soothing
[Chorus]
It's clearly understandable
That I'm not some type of animal
I'm just in love with u
And heaven knows Im glad I found ya
Loving and you came around to do the things that you do
You don't even hardly speak to me
Tell me what could it be
To let you walk away so freely
But you still call from time to time
Tell me why you play with me mind
I know you wanna be here with me
All that I can do is be their
And heaven knows that I swear you do something to me
That I'll never ever tell a lie
I'll always be their by your side your so soothing
[Chorus]
I just don't know what I've been doing wrong
In your life baby
Baby if you give me one my time
I will never ever leave yours side
Oh
[Chorus]
The lyrics to Anthony Hamilton's song "Clearly" express the confusion and dilemma that the singer is facing in relation to his love interest. He is caught up in a daze and can't seem to understand what he's been thinking. He admits that although she's coming clearly into his life, it's hard for him to turn around and keep from blinking. He feels like something about her affects him deeply, and he swears that he'll never tell a lie and will always be there by her side. The chorus conveys a clear message: that the singer may be in love with her, but he is certainly not an animal. He appreciates and loves everything she does for him, and he is glad that he found her.
The second verse is filled with even more confusion as the singer questions why his love interest doesn't speak to him but still reaches out to him from time to time. He feels like she's playing with his mind and he can't seem to figure out what could be the reason she walks away so freely. He still believes that she wants to be with him and that he will always be there for her. In the final part of the song, he pleads with her to give him more time and promises never to leave her side.
Overall, the song is about the difficulty of dealing with a love that is both bewildering and soothing. The singer is trying to make sense of his feelings, even though the woman he loves seems to be playing hard to get. He is conflicted about what to do, but he knows that he always wants to be there for her.

You've got me caught up in a daze
I'm overwhelmed and confused by my feelings for you
And I, cant seem to understand
I don't know why I feel this way
What I've been thinking
My thoughts are consumed by you
And although your coming clearly now
You're being more obvious about your feelings
It's hard for me to turn around and keep from blinking
I'm in disbelief and unsure of how to react
All that I can do is be their
I'll be there for you no matter what

And heaven knows Im glad I found ya
I'm grateful to have you in my life
Loving and you came around to do the things that you do
Your love and actions have changed my life for the better
You don't even hardly speak to me
We don't talk very often
Tell me what could it be
I don't understand why you keep your distance
To let you walk away so freely
I'm worried you'll leave me and I won't be able to stop you
But you still call from time to time
You still reach out to me occasionally
Tell me why you play with me mind
I feel like you're sending mixed signals
I know you wanna be here with me
I sense that you have feelings for me too
I just don't know what I've been doing wrong
I'm unsure if there's something I'm doing to push you away
In your life baby
In your world or experience
Baby if you give me one my time
If you give me a chance
I will never ever leave yours side
I will always be there for you
Oh
