Picturing us at that corner cafe
Ya, ya, ya ya, ya, ya, ya ya
Grabbing my keys, they feel heavy to me
'Cause you gave me back the one you don't need
Ya, ya, ya ya, ya, ya, ya ya
I'm not tired, I'm not lonely
Time, yeah, it's been enough time
To get you out of my mind
But now I'm thinking, I'll never stop thinking about you
Yeah, I'm just wondering when I'll stop wondering about you
You got your hands on me, you got your hands on me
A thousand miles away, but you still got your hands on me
And I'm thinking, I'll never stop thinking about you
Going new places, meeting new faces
But your memory still isn't fading
Ya, ya, ya ya, ya, ya, ya ya
Maybe I still got some shit left to say
Maybe your ghost is stuck in my brain
Ya, ya, ya ya, ya, ya, ya ya
I'm not tired, I'm not lonely
So why does my mind go back to when you used to hold me?
Time, yeah, it's been enough time
To get you out of my mind
But now I'm thinking, I'll never stop thinking about you
Yeah, I'm just wondering when I'll stop wondering about you
You got your hands on me, you got your hands on me
A thousand miles away, but you still got your hands on me
And I'm thinking, I'll never stop thinking about you
Now I'm just thinking about you, no, no
Now I'm just thinking, thinking about you, ooh
And I'm wondering, just wondering about you, ooh
You got your hands on me, you got your hands on me
A thousand miles away, but you still got your hands on me
And I'm thinking, I'll never stop thinking about you
The opening lines of Fletcher's song "About You" paint a vivid picture of a heartbroken narrator trying to go about her day while thoughts of her ex-lover linger in her mind. She remembers sharing a special moment with them at a corner cafe, and now even the simple act of grabbing her keys feels heavy because her ex has returned one of their own. Despite her attempts at moving forward, the nostalgia and longing for her former partner is palpable.
Through the lyrics, we sense the conflict within the singer. She insists that she's not tired or lonely, yet her mind can't seem to shake the memories of being held in her ex's arms, suggesting that she's still emotionally attached. She acknowledges that it's been enough time to move on, but something about this love lingers in her thoughts. Even as she explores new places and meets new faces, the ghost of her ex-lover remains.
Overall, "About You" is a catchy and relatable portrayal of heartache and the struggle to move on from a past love, perfectly capturing the complexity of lingering emotions.
