She's Out There
J.K. Simmons Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The way she lied
Well no one told me about her
How many people cried
But it's too late to say you're sorry
How could I know, why should I care
Please don't bother trying to find her
She's not there
The way she acted, the color of her hair
Her voice was soft and cool, her eyes were clear and bright,her skin was soft and white
But she's not there
Well no one told me about her
What could I do
Well no one told me about her
Though they all knew
But it's too late to say you're sorry
How could I know, why should I care
Please don't bother trying to find her
She's not there
Well let me tell you about the way she looked
The way she acted, the color of her hair
Her voice was soft and cool, her eyes were clear and bright,her skin was soft and white
But it's too late to say you're sorry
How could I know, why should I care
Please don't bother trying to find her
She's not there
Well let me tell you about the way she looked
The way she acted, the color of her hair
Her voice was soft and cool, her eyes were clear and bright,her skin was soft and white
But she's not there
The song "She's Out There" by J.K. Simmons tells the story of a man who falls in love with a woman who ends up lying to him and causing many people to cry. He reveals that no one warned him about her and he wonders what he could have done differently. The refrain of the song repeatedly emphasizes that it is too late to say sorry and that the woman he fell in love with is no longer around to be found.
The lyrics in the song have a sense of regret and loss. The singer is grieving for a love that he thought was real, but was ultimately betrayed by. The line "But it's too late to say you're sorry" echoes the idea that we often don't realize what we've lost until it's gone. The repetition of the chorus, along with the detailed description of the woman's physical features, indicates that the singer is still pining for her, even though she's not coming back.
The tone of the song is a mix of sadness and resignation. The singer has accepted that the woman he fell in love with is long gone, and there's nothing he can do to bring her back. The lyrics are colored with a tinge of bitterness as he reflects on what he could have done differently, had he known the truth about her earlier.
