About You
San Cisco Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Cliches, are what we say
When words don't even matter
Sweet tooth
For a liar
I only wish I never met her
Confusion, I know we'll lose it
Touch, with one another
So keep up
You'll need some good luck
Running from what you can't imagine

This is not about me
It's more about you and what you're going through
This is not about us
This is more about how you're doing what you wanna do

I hope you realize
That this is real life
You're not looking for some truth
You're selecting the proof
To sue you
And I can take you out of the stratosphere
Oh up there the air is clear
I can take you anywhere you like
You know I never get it right
You know, oh woah oh oh
You're driving this one so take it slow

This is not about me
It's more about you and what you're going through
This is not about us
It's more about how you're doing what you wanna do

You never really ever care
He was never really ever there
Why do you hesitate
Let go give into it
It's not about the things you say
I do not feel this emptiness
It hurts too much
To really let go
Oh woah oh oh

This is not about me
It's more about you and what you're going through
This is not about us
It's more about how you're doing what you wanna do
This is not about me
It's more about you and what you're going through




This is not about us
It's more about how you're doing what you wanna do

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of San Cisco's "About You" talk about a relationship that has been marred by confusion, lies, and misunderstandings. The lines "Cliches, are what we say, When words don't even matter" allude to the fact that the couple's communication has been reduced to empty phrases that hold no real meaning. The singer also talks about a "sweet tooth for a liar," showing that one of the partners in the relationship has a tendency to deceive the other.


Despite the feelings of confusion and frustration, the singer hopes that their partner will realize that this is real life and that they are facing situations that require them to make choices based on what they really want. The lines "It's more about how you're doing what you wanna do" express this sentiment. The chorus emphasizes that the song is not about the singer but about their partner, and the choices they make.


The singer also acknowledges that they have made mistakes in the past, saying "You know I never get it right." The bridge talks about taking the partner to new heights and taking them anywhere they want to go, but the final lines of the song caution them to take things slow as their partner has control of the relationship.


Overall, the song speaks about the complexity of relationships and how partners' actions and choices can impact the people around them.

You may not be seeking out the real, honest answers, but instead are only interested in finding evidence to support your own beliefs or desires.
