There She Goes
Good Charlotte Lyrics

I feel so far away
I feel disconnected from who I used to be and the people who used to be in my life.

From everything I used to be
I am not the person I used to be, and it's causing me to feel even more distant from my past.

So I just hang my head
I feel defeated and lost.

And feel ashamed like there's nothing I can do
I am embarrassed about my current state and I feel helpless to change it.

I thought no time or space could separate us
I believed that distance wouldn't affect the connection between myself and the person I am thinking about.

With all that we've been through
We have a shared history that I thought was unbreakable.

But now she's on a plane
The person I am thinking about is leaving or has already left.

She's miles away
The person I am thinking about is physically far from me.

And I just wanna go home
I want to like how I used to be and be with the people who used to be a part of my life.

Oh, there she goes
The person I am thinking about is leaving, either physically or emotionally.

So beautiful
I am still drawn to this person despite the distance between us.

But she said she don't know who I am
The person I am thinking about doesn't recognize who I am anymore.

But she's crying 'cause she liked me better when
The person I am thinking about is upset because they preferred me in the past.

I was different no one knew me then
I was a different person in the past and the people around me didn't recognize me now.

Back in Maryland way before I left
This is a reference to a specific time and place from a memory the singer is reflecting on.

I had everything
The singer was happy with who they were and the people who surrounded them at this time.

Can't forget the days
The singer remembers and misses this time period.

We lived too far away
The singer and the person they are thinking about used to live far away from each other.

From anything to run the race back then
The singer felt stuck and unable to pursue their dreams in this location.

From all these city streets
The environment the singer is in now has had a negative impact on their mental state.

That jaded me make me feel this way
The singer has become pessimistic and discouraged due to their current environment.

Now my thoughts drift away to summer days
The singer finds comfort in thinking about a happier time in the past.

Where I see your face
The person the singer is thinking about is a prominent figure in this memory.

You'd always smile at me
The person the singer is thinking about brought them happiness and positivity.

I felt so safe
The singer found comfort and security around this person.

She lifted me up
The person the singer is thinking about had a positive impact on their life.

For the first time
This person gave the singer a new perspective or experience.

When I saw the world with my own eyes
This person helped the singer gain a deeper understanding of the world.

But she's flying back home to Maryland
The person the singer is thinking about is returning home to where this memory takes place.

And I'm tryin' to get home
The singer wants to return to a happier, more comfortable time of their life.
