I'll See You
Jonny Was Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm Going nowhere
I can't figure out
Lost control
I can't stand still
What were you all about?
Bleeding hearts tonight
I'm not the one you wanted
Really glad I told you
Dying here tonight
I'm not the one you wanted
Scratch the surface with your nails
Don't bother me with lies
Hold my body next to your
It's comforting inside
Really glad you showed me
Bleeding hearts tonight
I'm not the one you wanted
Really glad I told you
Dying here tonight
I'm not the one you wanted
Will we laugh again?
Wearing me so thin
Changing thoughts from yesterday
Look into my eyes
Tell me it's all right
Make it words from yesterday
Really glad you showed me
Bleeding hearts tonight
I'm not the one you wanted
Really glad I told you
Dying here tonight
I'm not the one you wanted
The lyrics to Jonny Was's song "I'll see you" appear to be about the aftermath of a relationship that has ended. The singer seems lost and unable to move on, and can't figure out what went wrong or why the relationship ended. They feel like they have lost control and can't stand still, and are haunted by the thought that they were not what the other person wanted.
The lyrics suggest that the relationship ended badly, with both parties hurting each other deeply ("bleeding hearts tonight"). The singer seems relieved that the relationship is over, but also deeply hurt ("dying here tonight"). They are trying to come to terms with their emotions and move on, but it's a difficult process.
The final verse could be interpreted in a few different ways. It could be the singer asking if they will ever be able to move on and find joy again, or it could be a plea to their former partner to reconcile and make things right. Either way, the song seems to be a poignant meditation on the pain of lost love and the struggle to move on and find closure.
