Thinking of You
Soviettes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Making five out of two and two
And I wonder how far will you go
Across this frequent mile
My heart breaks and I force a smile
How I love you, you will never know
And if you find it, what you're looking for,
How will you know? (I'm thinkin' how will you know?)
Can I let you go?
I'm thinking, thinking, thinking, thinking
I'm always thinking of you
Where will you go?
I'm thinking, thinking, thinking, thinking
I'm always thinking of you
Where will you go?
It hurts to be so close
To such pain, and so much hope
You're too young to be so broken
And so we spend each day
Our eyes meet and we look away
Some things are too bad to be spoken
And if you find it, this heart you're looking for,
(Will you go alone?)
Will you go alone?
Can you rise up, and keep looking forward?
(And still have hope?)
Will you still have hope?
I'm thinking, thinking, thinking, thinking
I'm always thinking of you
Where will you go?
I'm thinking, thinking, thinking, thinking
I'm always thinking of you
Where will you go?
I'm thinking, thinking, thinking, thinking
I'm always thinking of you
Where will you go?
I'm thinking, thinking, thinking, thinking
I'm always thinking of you
Where will you go?

Line by Line Meaning
Sometimes I look at you
Making five out of two and two
And I wonder how far will you go
Across this frequent mile
Every now and then, I observe you finding solutions that are ingenious, and I can't help but wonder how successful you might become, despite the challenges you face on this long journey.
My heart breaks and I force a smile
How I love you, you will never know
And if you find it, what you're looking for,
How will you know? (I'm thinkin' how will you know?)
And when I'm dying, could I have loved you more?
Can I let you go?
My heart aches, but I still manage to put on a facade of happiness. I love you so much, but I know you'll never fully comprehend the depth of it. If you eventually discover what you're searching for, how will you recognize it? As I approach my final moments, I don't want to have any regrets about how much I loved you or if I held onto you for too long.
It hurts to be so close
To such pain, and so much hope
You're too young to be so broken
And so we spend each day
Our eyes meet and we look away
Some things are too bad to be spoken
Being so close to you but not being able to help you brings me great sadness and uncertainty. It's tough to stand by and watch you suffer so badly, especially when I know that you are still incredibly youthful. We regularly encounter one another, but we hardly ever look at each other, as some things are too harrowing to discuss openly.
And if you find it, this heart you're looking for,
(Will you go alone?)
Will you go alone?
Can you rise up, and keep looking forward?
(And still have hope?)
Will you still have hope?
If you eventually come across a way to heal and retrieve the heart you've been searching for, will you travel there solo, or will you come looking for me? In the face of adversity, will you be resolute and keep looking forward? Even if it appears that all has been lost, will you still have hope and the strength to move on?
I'm thinking, thinking, thinking, thinking
I'm always thinking of you
Where will you go?
I'm thinking, thinking, thinking, thinking
I'm always thinking of you
Where will you go?
I am constantly preoccupied with thoughts of you, pondering where your travels will eventually take you.
I'm thinking, thinking, thinking, thinking
I'm always thinking of you
Where will you go?
I'm thinking, thinking, thinking, thinking
I'm always thinking of you
Where will you go?
Once again, I admit to being constantly preoccupied with thoughts of you, constantly questioning where your journey will lead.
I'm thinking, thinking, thinking, thinking
I'm always thinking of you
Where will you go?
I'm thinking, thinking, thinking, thinking
I'm always thinking of you
Where will you go?
In a final repetition of my concerns, I continue to be preoccupied with thoughts of you, questioning where your journey will ultimately take you.
