See You Later
Every Avenue Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This might be my last chance
So maybe I should take it?
I just hope you're listening
To everything I'm saying

I miss the long drives, the car rides
The bad fights, the good times
The way you make me feel
Will never leave my mind

Think of you later in my empty room
Where I, I will fall asleep alone
Think of you later in my empty room
Where I, I will fall asleep alone

So quit your cryin'
And wipe the tears from your eyes
'Cause this is 'See you later'
I'm not into goodbyes

Watch the brake lights
As I leave your drive-way
The warm nights will stay beside me
No matter where I go

Think of you later in my empty room
Where I, I will fall asleep alone
Think of you later in my empty room
Where I, I will fall asleep alone

Watch the brake lights
As I leave your drive-way
The warm nights will stay beside me
No matter where I go

Think of you later in my empty room
Where I, I will fall asleep alone

Think of you later in my empty room
Where I, I will fall asleep alone
Think of you later in my empty room
Where I, I will fall asleep alone





Think of you later in my empty room
Where I, I will fall asleep alone

Line by Line Meaning

This might be my last chance
I feel like this could be the last time for me to tell you how I feel


So maybe I should take it?
Perhaps I should seize this opportunity


I just hope you're listening
I wish you are paying attention to what I am saying


To everything I'm saying
To all the things I am expressing


I miss the long drives, the car rides
I long for the times we spent driving together


The bad fights, the good times
Even the arguments we had are memories I treasure


The way you make me feel
The emotions you make me experience


Will never leave my mind
Will never be forgotten by me


Think of you later in my empty room
I will reminisce about you later in my unoccupied space


Where I, I will fall asleep alone
When I am by myself, drifting off to a slumber


So quit your cryin'
Stop weeping


And wipe the tears from your eyes
Dry your tears


'Cause this is 'See you later'
Because this is not a goodbye forever, but just for now


I'm not into goodbyes
I do not like to say farewell


Watch the brake lights
Observe the brake lights on my vehicle


As I leave your drive-way
As I drive away from your property


The warm nights will stay beside me
The memories of warm, intimate summer evenings with you will always be with me


No matter where I go
No matter my destination
