Thinking About You
Bandcamp Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A mark in history
A superhero and a zero
A premier
Oh he's so painfully a frill
An emotional stand still
You, you're a thunderstorm
A flash, a roll, the norm
Hypocritical, a cynic
And he's falling oh so hard
Guess you caught him off his guard
And you know well
What you said to shake him
In your hands
You can makes or break him
He's thinking 'bout you
Still thinking 'bout you
Still seeing the clothes you would wear
And you twirling your hair
And your stare
He's still thinking 'bout you
He's still thinking about you
He's still wondering where you would go
And if he'd ever know
If you knew
That he's still thinking of you
He's the kind of guy
To come off as a shy
Sorta geek, a little sleek
And his mystique
It's something that he can't explain
He doesn't bother to complain
But you, you're incredible
So undependable
You thought you'd take him for a ride and ditch
But now you are surprised to see his face
Though you tried to keep your space
You're all he has
And you knew you shook him
In your hands, in your grip
You took him
He's thinking 'bout you
Still thinking 'bout you
Still seeing the clothes you would wear
And you twirling your hair
And your stare
He's still thinking 'bout you
He's still thinking about you
He's still wondering where you would go
And if he'd ever know
If you knew
That he's still thinking of you
You took a chance
You took a dive into cheap romance
You, you took a shot
You gave it up
And he shocked, knocked, rocked,
Rocked!
He's thinking 'bout you
He's still thinking 'bout you
Still seeing the clothes you would wear
And you twirling your hair
And your stare
He's still thinking 'bout you
He's still thinking about you
He's still wondering where you would go
And if he'd ever know
If you knew
If you knew
If you knew
He's still thinking about you
Well if you knew
He's still thinking about you
Well if you knew
Well if you knew
Well if you knew
If you knew...
The lyrics of "Thinking About You" by Bandcamp tell the story of a shy and mysteriously geeky guy who falls for a girl who is a bit of a critic and a cynic. He finds himself hopelessly and painfully attracted to her, while she seems to treat him as just another conquest. Still, he can't help but think about her, even though she seems to have moved on. The chorus talks about how he's still thinking about her and all the things that drew him to her, like the way she twirled her hair and the clothes she wore. The song ends with the repeated refrain of "if you knew," possibly referring to the girl not knowing just how much she means to him.
The song's lyrics are a classic tale of unrequited love, as well as the push-and-pull of attraction and rejection. The singer is a sympathetic figure, an underdog hoping for a chance with someone he sees as extraordinary. The lyrics also delve into the mystery and mystique of attraction, what draws us to someone despite all their flaws, and how love can be both exhilarating and painful.
Line by Line Meaning
He's a mystery
He is difficult to understand and figure out
A mark in history
He will be remembered in the future
A superhero and a zero
Sometimes successful and sometimes unsuccessful
A premier
A leader or someone at the top of their field
Oh he's so painfully a frill
He tries too hard, and it's obvious and uncomfortable
An emotional stand still
He does not show or express his emotions very well
You, you're a thunderstorm
You are powerful and unpredictable
A flash, a roll, the norm
You are exciting and intense, but also consistent
You're a critic
You judge and evaluate things
Hypocritical, a cynic
You often criticize things you do yourself and are skeptical of things
And he's falling oh so hard
He is really falling in love with you
Guess you caught him off his guard
He wasn't expecting to fall in love with you
And you know well
You are aware and understand
What you said to shake him
You said something that made him vulnerable and affected him deeply
In your hands
You have control over him and his emotions
You can makes or break him
Your actions can make him happy or sad
He's thinking 'bout you
He cannot stop thinking about you
Still thinking 'bout you
He continues to think about you
Still seeing the clothes you would wear
He remembers what you looked like when you were together
And you twirling your hair
He remembers specific small details about you
And your stare
He remembers the way you looked at him
He's still wondering where you would go
He would like to know where you are or where you are going
And if he'd ever know
He wonders if he will ever find out
If you knew
He wonders if you know how much he thinks about you
He's the kind of guy
He has a certain type of personality
To come off as a shy
He seems introverted and quiet to others
Sorta geek, a little sleek
He is a bit of a nerd, but also cool in his own way
And his mystique
He has an air of mystery about him
It's something that he can't explain
He doesn't understand why he is the way he is
He doesn't bother to complain
He doesn't think it's worth complaining about
But you, you're incredible
You are amazing and impressive
So undependable
You cannot be relied on
You thought you'd take him for a ride and ditch
You planned to use him and then abandon him
But now you are surprised to see his face
Now that he is in love with you, you are surprised by his attention
Though you tried to keep your space
You tried to distance yourself from him
You're all he has
He doesn't have anyone else but you
You took a chance
You risked a lot to be with him
You took a dive into cheap romance
You jumped into a shallow relationship without much thought
You, you took a shot
You made a bold move
You gave it up
You were willing to commit to him
And he shocked, knocked, rocked,
He was impressed and blown away by your actions
Rocked!
He was very affected by you
If you knew...
If you only knew how much he thinks about you
