how many things
Sabrina Carpenter Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You used a fork once
It turns out forks are fuckin' everywhere
There's no hidin' from the thought of us
I got ways to find you anywhere

We sat on the roof once
Conversation took us everywhere
And we talked until the sun came up
I wish we stayed just like we were up there

I consider you, I'm not trying to
It doesn't matter whether not I want to
I can't help it, it's a habit
Your corner in my mind is well established

I
I wonder how many things you think about before you get to me
I wonder how many things you wanna do, you think I'm in between
I feel myself falling further down your priorities
And I still make excuses for you constantly
I wonder how many things you think about before
Before you get to me

Remember when you left once
That never made too much sense to me
Well, it hurt you so bad, hurting me
You really came to me for sympathy

Oh, I consider you, I'm not trying to
It doesn't matter whether not I want to
I can't help it, it's a habit
Your corner in my mind is well established

I
I wonder how many things you think about before you get to me
I wonder how many things you wanna do, you think I'm in between
And I feel myself falling further down your priorities
And I still make excuses for you constantly
I wonder how many things you think about before
Before you get to me

Am I'm not
Even a second thought?

I wonder how many things you think about before you get to me
I wonder how many things you wanna do, you think I'm in between
I feel myself falling further down your priorities
And I still make excuses for you constantly
I wonder how many things you think about before
Before you get to me





Wonder how many things

Overall Meaning

the person in the song thinks about before they think of the singer. The singer talks about how they were once close to this person, sharing intimate moments like sitting on the roof and talking until the sun came up. But now, the singer feels like they have been left behind while this person thinks of other things before them. The mention of the fork in the first line could be a metaphor for how insignificant the singer feels in the grand scheme of things. Forks are so common and omnipresent that they are easy to overlook, much like how the singer feels overlooked by this person.


The chorus repeats the same sentiment of the singer wondering how many things the person thinks about before they think of the singer. The singer also acknowledges how they are making excuses for this person, showing that they are still invested in the relationship and willing to overlook the person's flaws. The bridge of the song brings up a past hurt, where the person left the singer and came back seeking sympathy. It's clear that the singer is conflicted about their feelings toward this person, as they acknowledge that they can't help but think of them, but they also feel like they are being pushed down the person's list of priorities.


Overall, the lyrics convey the complex emotions of feeling left behind and neglected in a relationship, while still holding onto feelings for the other person.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You used a fork once
It turns out forks are fucking everywhere
There's no hiding from the thought of us
I got ways to find you anywhere
We sat on the roof once
Conversation took us everywhere
And we talked until the sun came up
I wish we stayed just like we were up there

[Pre-Chorus]
I consider you, I’m not trying to
It doesn't matter whether or not I want to
I can't help it, it’s a habit
Your corner in my mind is well established

[Chorus]
Ah, I, I wonder how many things you think about
Before you get to me
I wonder how many things you wanna do
You think I'm in between
I feel myself falling further down your priorities
And I still make excuses for you constantly
I wonder how many things you think about
Before, before you get to me

[Verse 2]
Remember when you left once?
That never made too much sense to me
Well, it hurt you so bad hurting me
You really came to me for sympathy

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I consider you, and I'm not trying to
It doesn't matter whether or not I want to
I can't help it, it's a habit
Your corner in my mind is well established

[Chorus]
I, I wonder how many things you think about
Before you get to me
I wonder how many things you wanna do
You think I'm in between
I feel myself falling further down your priorities
And I still make excuses for you constantly
I wonder how many things you think about
Before, before you get to me

[Bridge]
(Mhm)
Am I not even a second thought?

[Chorus]
I wonder how many things you think about
Before you get to me
I wonder how many things you wanna do
You think I'm in between
I feel myself falling further down your priorities
And I still make excuses for you constantly
I wonder how many things you think about
Before, before you get to me

[Outro]
Wonder how many things
