It Was You
Prozak Lyrics

A hot summer night
The singer sets the scene of a warm summer night where he is unable to sleep.

I was in my bed
The singer is initially in their bed but cannot sleep.

I coudn't sleep a wink
The singer is completely unable to sleep.

Just laid awake instead
The artist remains awake instead of sleeping.

I slipped out the sheets careful not to wake her up
The artist quietly gets out of bed so as not to wake someone else in the room.

Insomniac restless got me shaken up
The singer is restless due to their insomnia.

I walked down the hall way and out the front door
The singer exits their house through the front door.

Took a seat on the steps of my front porch

The rain was cooling bouncing heavy off that concrete
It's raining heavily and the artist notes the cooling effect it has on the area.

Lightning lit the sky and thunder crashed around me
There is a thunderstorm happening with lightning and loud thunder.

I saw a man on the corner in the pouring rain

I'm thinking homeless, hopeless or just insane
The artist wonders if the man is either homeless, hopeless, or mentally ill.

I called out to him sir can I help you
The singer tries to offer assistance to the man.

No reply he was motionless, statue,
The man doesn't respond or move, and appears to be like a statue.

I started walking down the sidewalk to approach him
The singer walks towards the man on the sidewalk.

Dressed in black and he stood taller than most men,
The man is wearing black clothing and is taller than an average person.

His trench coat stood still though the wind blows
The man's coat remains stationary even in the windy conditions.

Dejavue premanitions inuendos
The singer experiences a sense of déjà vu, premonitions, and innuendos.

The car passing by
A car drives past.

The headlights lit his face

Knew you from somewhere, somebody, some place,

I seen you before at the hospital

My family was crying you were smiling when you passed us all

My uncle died that night
