Realize
Caillat Colbie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That your warmth is
Crashing down on me
Take time to realize
That I am on your side
Didn't I, didn't I tell you?
No, it's never gonna be that simple
No, I can't spell it out for you
If you just realize what I just realized
Then we'd be perfect for each other and we'd never find another
Just realize what I just realized
We'd never have to wonder if we missed out on each other, now
Take time to realize
Oh, oh, I'm on your side
Didn't I, didn't I tell you?
Take time to realize
This all could pass you by
Didn't I tell you?
But I can't spell it out for you
No, it's never gonna be that simple
No, I can't spell it out for you
If you just realize what I just realized
Then we'd be perfect for each other and we'll never find another
Just realize what I just realized
We'd never have to wonder if we missed out on each other, but
It's not the same
No, it's never the same
If you don't feel it, too
If you meet me half way
If you would meet me half way
It could be the same for you
If you just realize what I just realized
Then we'd be perfect for each other and we'll never find another
Just realize what I just realized
We'd never have to wonder
Just realize what I just realized
If you just realize what I just realized
Missed out on each other now
Missed out on each other now
Realize, realize, realize, realize
The song "Realize" is a heartfelt plea to a person who is oblivious to the love that the singer feels for them. The opening lyrics implore the recipient to take the time to realize that their warmth is crashing down on the singer, which is a metaphor for how the recipient's actions are affecting them. The singer then reminds the recipient that they are on their side, and that they have already expressed their feelings, although not in explicit terms. The singer acknowledges that they cannot spell it out any more than they already have, and that the situation is not simple.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "If you just realize what I just realized" several times, suggesting that the singer has had a moment of clarity about their feelings and that if the recipient had the same insight, they could be "perfect for each other." The repeated use of the word "realize" is significant because it implies that the recipient is not aware of the potential for a relationship between them, and that the singer is hoping to enlighten them.
The final verse of the song changes the tone slightly. The singer acknowledges that the situation may not be the same for both of them, and that it is necessary for the recipient to also feel love in order for the relationship to work. The phrase "if you meet me halfway" suggests that the singer is willing to compromise, and that they hope the recipient will do the same. Finally, the song ends with a repetition of the chorus, including the phrase "missed out on each other now," indicating that the singer is afraid that if the recipient does not realize their feelings soon, they will both have lost their chance at love.
