I Don't Know
Kevin Johansen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't know what to say / It's nice to see your face
When I look in you're eyes / I can see yours in mine
I don't know what to do / To get in touch with you
I just want to be friends / I don't care where it ends...




Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Kevin Johansen's song "I Don't Know" speak of a feeling of uncertainty and confusion when it comes to reconnecting with someone from one's past. The singer expresses a desire to reconnect with this person - perhaps someone they used to know quite well - but feels at a loss as to how to make it happen. They seem to think that the best first step is to establish a friendship, with no expectations or plans for where that might lead. The lines "When I look in your eyes / I can see yours in mine" suggest a deep connection and sense of familiarity with this person, despite the distance that has seemingly grown between them.


Perhaps what makes these lyrics so relatable is the universal experience of lost connections and the desire to reignite them. So often, we find ourselves wondering what to do or say when we want to reach out to someone from our past but don't want to seem too forward or presumptuous. By admitting this indecision and uncertainty in the lyrics, Johansen taps into a feeling that many of us have experienced at some point.
