Did You Get My Message?
Jason Mraz Lyrics

Did you get my message, the one I left
Asks if the recipient received a message left by the singer.

While I was trying to convince everything
The message was sent while the singer was trying to sort out their thoughts.

That I meant in a minute or less when I called to confess
The confession the singer made during the call was sincere and honest but said in a short time.

And make all of my stresses go bye-bye
The singer hoped that the message would help them alleviate their stress by confessing their feelings.

Did you get my message, you did not guess
The recipient didn't guess the intent of the message.

'Cause if you did you would have called me with your sweet intent
If the recipient had received and understood the message, they would have called the singer with good intentions.

And we could give it a rest
Then they could move on and relax.

'stead of beating my breast
The singer was anxious and beating themselves up for not getting a response to the message.

Making all of the pressure go sky-high
This anxiety was building up, causing more stress for the singer.

Do you ever wonder what happens to the words that we send
The singer wonders what happens to the messages sent.

Do they bend, do they break from the flight that they take
The singer wonders if messages can change or lose meaning in transit.

And come back together again with a whole new meaning
Messages can be reinterpreted in unexpected ways.

In a brand new sense, completely unrelated to the one I sent
The unintended new meaning can be totally unrelated to the original message.

Uh oh, where did it go, must have bopped past your phone
The singer thinks the message may have been lost or missed.

And fallen right outta the window
The message may have been accidentally deleted or misplaced.

Ooh well, how can I tell?
The singer doesn't know what happened to the message.

Shoulda called the operator maybe she know the info
The singer suggests calling the phone operator to see if they have information about the message.

But whether or not my message you got was too much or a lot to reply
The singer wonders if the message was too much for the recipient to respond to.

Why not try this for a fact
The singer suggests trying a certain idea.

Should you ever come back I'd relax and feel relieved
If the recipient returns the singer would be relieved and relaxed.

Before my panic attack
The singer was anxious and wants to avoid having a panic attack.

Now the moment is passed
The moment referred to earlier is over now.

Not much sand in the glass and I'm standing to lose my mind
Time is running out, and the singer is becoming more anxious.

So they bend, do they break from the flight that they take
The singer wonders again what happens to messages during the sending process.

to the matter of our love defense and please be sympathetice to the time I spent
The message is related to love, and the singer wants the recipient to understand the time and effort they put into it.

No I didn't hear a word you said
The singer didn't receive a response from the message they sent.

No I'm not gonna believe your lies anymore
The singer doesn't trust the recipient's words (likely referring to their lack of response).

That I want to reconnect with you
The singer wants to reconnect with the recipient and sent a message to express that.

I can hear you say your coming but I don't hear
The singer is not sure if the recipient is actually going to come back.

Why did you get the message love ?
The singer questions whether the recipient got the message or not.

That I want to get back with you
The message reiterates the singer's desire to get back together with the recipient.

Did you get my message
Overall, the song is asking if the recipient received the singer's message.
