See You When I See You
Jason Aldean Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I hate the way it sounds
So if you don't mind
Let's just say for now
See you when I see you
Another place, some other time
If I ever get down your wayOr you're ever up around mine
We'll laugh about the old days
And catch up on the new
Yeah I'll see you when I see you
And I hope it's some day soon
God made this whole world round
And maybe it's that way
So the paths we go down
Yeah I will cross again some day
And someday I'll
See you when I see you
Another place, some other time
If I ever get down your way
Or you're ever up around mine
We'll laugh about the old days
And catch up on the new
Yeah I'll see you when I see you
And I hope it's some day real soon
I hope it's some day soon
See you when I see you
Another place, some other time
If I ever get down your way
Or you're ever up around mine just stop by
And catch up the new
Yeah see you when I see you, 'til then my prayers are with you
And I hope it's some day soon
I'll see you when I see you

The lyrics then go on to acknowledge the unpredictability of life’s journey, with the suggestion that paths will cross again, and a hopeful desire for it to be sooner rather than later.

It suggests that the memories they share don’t have an expiration date, and they can pick up where they left off whenever they meet again.
Overall, “See You When I See You” is a bittersweet song that captures the essence of long-distance friendships, leaving home, and the possibility of reunions, all while recognizing the uncertainty that lies in the future.
