If You See Him / If You See Her
Countdown Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If you see him, tell him I wish him well
How am I doing
Well, sometimes it's hard to tell
I still miss him more than ever
But please don't say a word
If you see him
If you see him
If you see her, tell her I'm doing fine
And if you want to
Say that I think of her from time to time
Ask her if she ever wonders where we both went wrong
If you see her
If you see her

I still want her
I still need him so
I don't know why we let each other go

If you see her, tell her the light's still on for her
Nothing's changed, deep down the fire still burns for him
And even if it takes forever, say I'll still be here
If you see him
If you see her




If you see him
If you see her
