See You Again
Kacey Musgraves Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
and I'm ready to aim
I have a heart that will
never be tamed
I knew you were something special
when you spoke my name
I can't wait
to see you again
if something is right
feel like I have must have known you
in another life
'cause I felt this deep connection
when you looked in my eyes
I can't wait
to see you again
that last time I freaked out
I just kept looking down
My sister stuttered but you asked me what I was thinking 'bout
felt like I couldn't breathe
You asked what's wrong with me
My best friend Leslie said
"she's just being Miley"
the next time we hang out
I wanna be myself
my heart can't rest
'til then oh whoa
I, I can't wait to see you again
I've got this crazy feelin' deep inside
You called and asked to see me tomorrow night
I'm not a mind reader but I'm readin' the signs
that you can't wait to see me again
that last time I freaked out
I just kept looking down
My sister stuttered but you asked me what I was thinking 'bout
felt like I couldn't breathe
You asked what's wrong with me
My best friend Leslie said
"she's just being Miley"
the next time we hang out
I wanna be myself
my heart can't rest
'til then oh whoa
I, I can't wait to see you again
I've got my sets on you
and I'm ready to aim
that last time I freaked out
I just kept looking down
My sister stuttered but you asked me what I was thinking 'bout
felt like I couldn't breathe
You asked what's wrong with me
My best friend Leslie said
"she's just being Miley"
the next time we hang out
I will redeem myself
my heart can't rest
'til then oh whoa
I, I can't wait to see you again
oh whoa
I, I can't wait to see you again
In "See You Again," Kacey Musgraves sings about the excitement and anticipation of seeing someone she's deeply connected to again. She admits that she's got her sights set on this person and is ready to aim, indicating that she's willing to take the necessary steps to be with them. She believes that her heart can never be tamed, suggesting that she's a free spirit and won't let anyone control her emotions. When this person spoke her name, Kacey knew that they were something special, implying that there was an instant attraction between them. She then goes on to say that she feels like she's known them in another life because of the deep connection she felt when they first met.

They've made plans to see each other again, and Kacey can read the signs that this person can't wait to see her again too.

Kacey longs for the next time they hang out to be herself and to redeem herself for her earlier awkwardness.
