Tunnel Vision
Justin Timberlake Lyrics

I know you like it
Acknowledges that the subject enjoys the attention given to them

Don't know why, but girl, I'm feeling close to you
Despite not understanding the reason for the closeness, the subject is emotionally drawn to the girl

Maybe is this ocean view, I'm so emotional
The ocean view adds to the emotional draw of the girl

And all these stars been dancing on my head
The subject is feeling starry-eyed and overwhelmed with emotion

Too long, too long, too long
The duration of the emotional buildup has been extensive

I wrote a song for you, I wanna sing to you
The subject has written a romantic song to express their feelings

But every time I'm close to you
The subject struggles to express their emotions in her presence

The words wanna come out, but I forget
The subject becomes overwhelmed and cannot articulate their emotions in the moment

It's so strong, it's so strong, it's so strong
The emotional attraction is incredibly intense and hard to ignore

Didn't I seem like I'm catching something
The subject recognizes that their attraction to the girl is evident

That's because it's true
The attraction is genuine and not just a fleeting feeling

I can't deny it, I won't try it
The subject cannot and will not deny their feelings

But I think that you know
The subject believes the girl may also have feelings for them

I look around and everything I see is beautiful
The subject's attraction to the girl makes everything else pale in comparison

Cause all I see is you
The girl is the center of the subject's focus and attention

And I can't deny it, and I stand by you
The subject continues to be drawn to the girl and will support her

And I won't hide it anymore
The subject will no longer conceal their feelings for the girl

A crowded room anywhere
The setting is not important as the girl is the only thing that matters

A million people around all I see is you
The girl stands out in a crowded room

And everything just disappears, disappears, disappears, disappears
The girl has the ability to make everything else fade into the background

Yeah, a million people in a crowded room
Reiterating that the setting is insignificant in comparison to the girl

But my camera lenses only been set to zoom
The subject's focus is entirely on the girl

And it all becomes so clear, comes so clear, becomes so clear
The focus on the girl makes everything in the background become clearer

I got that tunnel vision for you
The subject's focus is laser-focused on the girl

Zoom, zoom, zoom
Reiterating the intensity of the tunnel vision

In on you, in, in on you
The subject's focus is entirely on the girl

Now that I know the truth, what am I supposed to do?
The subject is acknowledging their feelings and is unsure of how to proceed

Changing up and breaking all my rules ever since we met
The girl has had a significant impact on the subject's life and has changed them in unexpected ways

I'm so gone, I'm so gone, I'm so gone
The emotional attraction has taken over the subject

Just like the movie shoot, I'm zooming in on you
The subject compares their focus on the girl to a camera zooming in on a movie set

Everything is extra in the background, just fades into the set
The girl is the only thing that matters and everything else becomes irrelevant

As we ride off in the sun
The subject envisions a future with the girl

I only see you
Reiterating the intensity of the subject's attraction and focus on the girl
