Awkward
San Cisco Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Why do the stars fall at night?
Well are you here?

I got your message last night
You didn't get mine 'cause you've been calling me for days

Why do you hold on so tight?
What do you fear?

I got your message last night
You didn't get mine 'cause you've been calling me for days

Da da da da da da da da da

I wouldn't have gone to dinner
If I knew that you'd agree with everything I say

I left a message last night
You haven't called back I've been calling you for days

I have my keys at the gate
My mind is made up to make a quick escape

I left a message last night
You haven't called back I've been calling you for days

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

I saw you at dinner last night
You were holding his hand I've been watching you for days

I thought I saw you last night
Get out of my life you've been stalking me for days





Da da da da da da da da da

Overall Meaning

The song "Awkward" by San Cisco is about a character who is struggling to communicate with someone who is obsessed with them. The opening lyrics—"Why do the stars fall at night? Well, are you here?"—imply a sense of searching for answers and connection in the dark. When the character receives a message from the other person, they realize that they had missed previous attempts at communication. The repeated line "You've been calling me for days" suggests that the other person is being persistent, even when it might not be wanted.


As the song progresses, the character becomes more frustrated and determined to distance themselves from the other person. They regret going to dinner with them, feeling as though they were just agreeing with everything the other person said. The line "My mind is made up to make a quick escape" suggests that they are ready to move on from the situation entirely.


The chorus repeats the line "I left a message last night, you haven't called back, I've been calling you for days," emphasizing the lack of response from the other person. The final line, "Get out of my life, you've been stalking me for days," is a strong statement that highlights the discomfort and fear caused by this obsessive behavior.


Overall, "Awkward" is a catchy and relatable song about boundaries and communication in relationships, as well as the importance of recognizing and respecting those boundaries.
