You Could Tell Me
Ferris Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's Been a minute since I've seen your face
Have you got
Have you finally got your story straight
Do you have some time to waste
Did they ever hear what you had to say
I just want to know
Are you okay
Just tell me where you've been
(Been so long)
Tell me where you've been
(Been so long)
Tell me where you've been
(I've been waiting on you so long)
Did you fade out again
Did you find the pieces you were looking for
Mind you forget your sins
Realizing the pieces never fit before
You know
I'm trying to look at everything that you've seen
Like watching your car drive off in a hurry
Replacing your heart
Just tell me where you've been
Tell me where you've been
Oh love
Tell me where you've been
(I've been waiting on you too long)
Just tell me where you've been
Tell me where you've been
Just tell me where you've been
Just tell me where you've been
Just tell me where you've been
Tell me where you've been
Just tell me where you've been

The repetition of "It's been so long" emphasizes the time that has passed since they last saw the person, creating a sense of longing and anticipation.

It is as if the person may have withdrawn or disconnected from their surroundings, leaving Ferris wondering about their emotional state.
The lyrics also point towards the person searching for something, looking for the "pieces" that would make their life complete. However, they may realize that these puzzle pieces, symbolic of their goals or desires, have never really fit together. This realization adds depth to the song by exploring themes of self-discovery and the pursuit of finding true fulfillment.
Overall, "You Could Tell Me" captures the longing for connection and understanding between Ferris and the person they address in the song. It explores themes of past struggles with self-expression, the search for personal growth, and the desire to understand one another.

I may be a 90s kid, but I love how the 80s seemed to be such a positive time in American history.
Bethlila
@Lauren Middleton cool my mum was too and she says the same
Joshua Thomas

I’m blessed to be an 80’s kid. This is exactly the kind of zeitgeist that existed during this time

"He's gonna marry me"
Always been one of my favorite lines
Mickey Farmer
@Jon Also, AFTER they discuss it and AFTER this scene...he still stops to flirt with the 2 bikini'd girls on his run home.
Jon
@motherlove You're right, they do discuss it, but I don't think that changes anything. They're really flippant about it. They're kids, they're in love and they're blissfully stupid.
Facetina
@Jon precisely.
motherlove
@Jon they have discussed it in the movie tho

@Bob Smith I actually don't think that's a Hollywood line. She believes what she's saying, but John Hughes, a middle-aged guy, wrote this movie. He knows the likelihood of them marrying is low, but she's at an age where you think good things last forever. It's a sentimental line, but it comes out of nowhere. To a certain degree, the audience is meant to go, "Oh. Where did that come from?" Hughes just lets the line go unanswered. He doesn't correct her or interrupt her feelings. She's naive. Which gives the line more depth than it would have in typical teen romcom. A lesser movie would believe that line — and sell it — as much as the character does.
