Check It Out
Day/Four Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I, I got her number
I’m not a stalker
With each mile under these tires
I want to turn back
I’ll come running back
To your house, sit on your couch
And let you talk for days
Oh, do you feel it now?
Because I figured it out
But do you feel it now?
Today I woke up alone, my head caught in a storm
But you are back at your table
I’m living in fable
Feel the miles stack up in piles
I want to return
So much left to learn
Beyond a single tryst
Beyond a simple kiss
And let you talk for days
Do you feel it now?
Oh, do you feel it now?
Because I got it figured out
But I don’t know how
I could put you down
I can’t put you down
What do you think?
Meet up for a drink?
Whiskey and ginger what do you say?
The passing of time like wind through the chime
I am with you all the way
If you’ve anything to say
I’ll beg you talk for days
Tonight I’m back home again in my dream land
But I still hear your voice
Feel your resounding joy
But despite the miles you’re here in mind
I feel like I’m with you
Lost in the rear view
Minds change so fast
Don’t say that it’s passed
When there are still games to be played
I wanna hear you talk for days
Do you feel it now?
Oh, do you feel it now?
Because I figured out
But I don’t know how
I could put you down
I can’t put you down
Do you feel it now?
Oh, do you feel it now?
Because I figured out
I really feel it now
Oh God, I feel it now
But do you feel it now like I’m feeling it now?
Oh, do you feel it now?
The song "Check It Out" by Day/Four talks about regret and wanting to fix past mistakes. The lyrics suggest that the singer had an opportunity with a stranger but let them slip away, only to realize later that they should have pursued it. They admit to having the stranger's number but don't want to come across as a stalker. They constantly think about returning to the stranger's house and sitting on their couch, listening to them talk for days. The singer expresses a desire to learn more about the stranger, beyond just a physical relationship. The song ends with the singer acknowledging that they still think about the stranger, even though they are back in their own reality. They wonder if the stranger feels the same way they do.
The song's message is relatable to anyone who has let an opportunity slip away and later regretted it. The lyrics also showcase the difficulty of communication and the fear of being perceived as a stalker, something that many people can relate to. The feeling of wanting to listen to someone talk for days suggest a deeper level of connection and understanding, rather than just a physical attraction. The use of the phrase "check it out" throughout the song can be interpreted as a call to action or a moment of realization, urging the singer to take action on their feelings.
Line by Line Meaning
Last night I let a stranger slip through my fingers
I missed an opportunity with a stranger last night.
But I, I got her number
I managed to get her contact information.
I’m not a stalker
I don't want to come across as creepy.
With each mile under these tires
As I drive further away.
I want to turn back
I wish I could go back and change things.
I’ll come running back
I'm willing to make an effort to fix things.
To your house, sit on your couch
To be in your presence and listen.
And let you talk for days
To give you a chance to express yourself.
Do you feel it now?
Do you understand where I'm coming from?
Oh, do you feel it now?
Can you sense the connection between us?
Because I figured it out
I've realized what I want.
Today I woke up alone, my head caught in a storm
I'm feeling lost and confused.
But you are back at your table
You're living your life without me.
I’m living in fable
I'm clinging onto a fantasy.
Feel the miles stack up in piles
The distance between us is overwhelming.
So much left to learn
There's still so much I don't know about you.
Beyond a single tryst
More than just a one-time fling.
Beyond a simple kiss
More than just physical attraction.
What do you think?
Do you share my feelings?
Meet up for a drink?
Shall we get together and talk?
Whiskey and ginger what do you say?
Let's share some drinks and enjoy each other's company.
The passing of time like wind through the chime
Time seems to be moving quickly.
I am with you all the way
I'm committed to this relationship.
If you’ve anything to say
I want to hear your thoughts and feelings.
Tonight I’m back home again in my dream land
I'm back in my own world, but still thinking of you.
But I still hear your voice
Your words of wisdom still resonate with me.
Feel your resounding joy
I sense your happiness from a distance.
But despite the miles you’re here in mind
You're always on my mind.
I feel like I’m with you
I imagine you're right here beside me.
Lost in the rear view
But the reality is that you're no longer here.
Minds change so fast
People's feelings can change quickly.
Don’t say that it’s passed
Don't give up on our relationship.
When there are still games to be played
We still have a chance to make this work.
I wanna hear you talk for days
I want to listen to you and understand you better.
I really feel it now
I'm starting to realize how much I care about you.
Oh God, I feel it now
My emotions are becoming overwhelming.
But do you feel it now like I’m feeling it now?
Do you share my intense emotions for you?
