I Thought About You
Beautiful Girls The Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Look at the stars up in the sky
Thought of the wishes I had made
Then started, thinking about all the time we had left
Was counting out my mistakes
And counting out my regrets
About you, Thought about me
Thought about you, Thought about me
Thought about all the things we'd never be
Thought about you
I thought about you
Well I woke up in the pouring rain
My pockets empty and a voice runnin' round in my brain
It started, soundin' a lot like the devil himself
Sayin 'No-one gets to heaven if they don't go through hell.'
Would you, Think about me?
Think about all the things we'd ever be
Now tell me would you, Think about me?
Think about all the things we'd never be
So tell me would you
So tell me would you
I thought about you, I thought about me x6
(I thought I'd mean something to me,
I thought I'd mean something to you) x3
Well I was walking back home real late
Look at the stars up in the sky
Thought of the wishes I had made
Then started thinking about all the time we had left
Was counting all my mistakes and all my regrets
About you, thought about me
Thought about all the things we'd ever be
Thought about you, thought about me
Thought about all the things we'd never be
Thought about you
I thought I'd mean something to me
I thought I'd mean something to you
I thought about you.
The song "I Thought About You" by Beautiful South essentially talks about the thoughts and memories that flood the mind late at night when one is alone. It starts with the artist walking home late at night, looking up at the starry sky and thinking about the wishes they had made. As they continue walking, they start contemplating about their past and present mistakes and regrets. The chorus then follows, where they think about themselves and the person they're singing about. They wonder about what they could have been and what they never will be. The second verse shifts the focus on the morning after. The artist wakes up to find themselves in the pouring rain with empty pockets as a voice in their head starts reminiscent of the devil himself. This voice talks about how one must go through hell to reach heaven. The chorus repeats, and the song ends with the artist walking back home again, looking at the same star-filled sky, repeating their musings from the beginning.
Overall, the song's theme is quite reflective, and the lyrics urge the listener to think about their life choices and decisions. The lyrics' imagery and the slow ballad-like pace of the song help highlight the sense of loneliness and introspection the artist is experiencing.
