Say Something
Evan DuPell Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I could not believe it the first time I saw her
Eyes bright and wild like an alluring orange fire
Does she notice when I see her?
Still don't know if I should tell her
Say something to me

I notice her looking can she see us together
Even when we talk my chest feels like thunder
I don't believe this is this a miss
Still don't know if I should ask her
Is she waiting? Can't let her wait

Don't leave I'll stay with you for a while
We always dance around in the same old style
Sometimes I only pass by to see that smile
I still know it's you when you're out for miles
Ya swooned me
I see her coming can she see us together
Eyes bright and wild my chest feels like thunder
I don't believe this, I can't believe this
Is this a miss should I tell her?
Say something to me

Don't leave I'll stay with you for a while
We always dance around in the same old style
Sometimes I only pass by to see that smile




I still know it's you when you're out for miles
Ya swooned me

The chorus is a plea for the girl to say something to him, indicating his desire to know if she feels the same way.


The bridge adds more to the feelings of the singer towards the girl.

Even if it's just to catch a glimpse of her smile, he still gets the feeling of happiness when he sees her.

For example, the lyrics could also represent an individual's struggle to express their emotions or to speak their mind.
