Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everything that′s good in my life
Because of you I believe in dreams
And even when I don't I still try
Cause you care for me
Always there for me
Calm the storm that the world had prepared for me
You are meant for me
When I′m with you I am home you're my sanctuary
Well I just wanna see you girl
I'm wondering if I could come over
Just wanna be in your world
Cause out here it can′t get any colder
Well I just wanna see you girl
Just wanna stand in your light
That′s why I need to see you girl
Time is just a lonely space
Anytime you're not by my side
There′s not a way you could be replaced
Cause no one else shines nearly so bright
Cause you care for me
Always there for me
Calm the storm that the world had prepared for me
You were sent to me
You are meant for me
When I'm with you I am home you′re my sanctuary
Well I just wanna see you girl
I'm wondering if I could come over
Just wanna be in your world
Cause out here it can′t get any colder
Well I just wanna see you girl
Just wanna stand in your light
That's why I need to see you girl
You were sent to me
You are meant for me
When I'm with you I am home you′re my sanctuary
Well I just wanna see u girl
I′m wondering if I could come over
Just wanna be in your world
Cause out here it can't get any colder
Well I just wanna see you girl
Just wanna stand in your light
That′s why I need to see you girl
The lyrics of "See You Girl" describe the profound impact that a particular person has had on the singer's life. This person, who the singer addresses as "girl," embodies all of the good things in the singer's life, and because of this person, the singer believes in dreams even when it seems like they might not come true. The singer acknowledges that life can be difficult and stormy, but this person has been a source of calm and stability for them. In fact, the singer suggests that this person was sent to them and that they are meant to be together. When the singer is with this person, they feel like they are home and that this person is their sanctuary.
Given this emotional backdrop, the chorus of the song becomes all the more poignant. The singer expresses a genuine desire to see this person, to bask in their light and warmth. Despite the fact that even time can seem like a "lonely space" when this person isn't around, the singer believes that nothing can replace this person, and that no one else shines nearly as brightly. Thus, the singer concludes that they just need to see this person, to stand in their light and be in their world.
Overall, "See You Girl" is a heartfelt song about the ways in which one person can make such a difference in the life of another.
