So Ahead Of Me
Orson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're so ahead of me
Don't see how that could be
Did I just miss something here?
It's the worst I fear, my dear

You're looking, oh, so cute
Did you just buy that suit?
And you just changed your hair
It's so unfair, I'm tryin' not to care

Just remember this
It's just a kiss, nobody has to know
And I won't tell anyone that I know
And I'll be waiting by the phone

All those pictures that you gave me
And all those promises you made me
All mean nothing
Since you decide to grow up on me

Sorry for these impositions
But I don't get your new condition
But I'll follow along
And you can walk me like that dog

And I'll take you where you want to go
And let you play with my radio
But is there nothing more that I can do?
To please you, how 'bout a little clue?

But just you remember this
It's just a kiss, nobody has to know
And I won't tell anyone that I know
That you're just no good alone

All those pictures that you gave me
And all those promises you made me
All mean nothing
Since you decide to grow up on me

Sorry for these impositions
But I don't get your new condition
But I'll follow along
And you can walk me like that dog

Tell me what to do
Tell me what to do

Sorry for these impositions
But I don't get your new condition




But I'll follow along
And you can walk me like that dog

Line by Line Meaning

You're so ahead of me
You are more advanced and experienced than me


Don't see how that could be
I cannot understand how you became so advanced


Did I just miss something here?
Did I not pay enough attention to notice your progress?


It's the worst I fear, my dear
It is my worst fear to be left behind by you


You're looking, oh, so cute
You appear very attractive and charming


Did you just buy that suit?
Did you recently purchase that suit?


And you just changed your hair
You recently altered your hairstyle


It's so unfair, I'm tryin' not to care
It feels unjust, and I am trying not to have feelings for you


Just remember this
Keep this in mind


It's just a kiss, nobody has to know
A kiss is just a private exchange that does not need to be revealed to others


And I won't tell anyone that I know
I will keep your secret


And I'll be waiting by the phone
I will be patiently waiting for your call


All those pictures that you gave me
All the photographs that you gifted me


And all those promises you made me
All the commitments that you made to me


All mean nothing
They have no value or importance anymore


Since you decide to grow up on me
Since you chose to leave behind childish things and become mature without me


Sorry for these impositions
I apologize for burdening you with my requests


But I don't get your new condition
But I do not understand your new state or situation


But I'll follow along
But I will still accompany and support you


And you can walk me like that dog
You can lead me and guide me like one would lead a dog


Tell me what to do
Instruct me on what actions to take
