See You Again
Tea Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I’m running out of words to say
It didn’t have to end this way
The memories are fresh and thin
Like peeling off my summer skin
I sent a letter in the mail
It took forever can’t you tell
You told me crying's not allowed
I don’t miss all the bad but
I wish I could still see you around
I haven’t seen you since before it fell apart
It’s only natural that I’m taking it this hard
Usually my train of thought gives me enough to feel how I want
And focus on what I have instead of what I lost
I’m wasn’t the one calling it fate in the first place
I figured we could take our time with it
I wish we could go back to the days
When I didn’t recognize your face




And you couldn’t say my name
I don't miss all the bad but I wish I could still see you around

Gatsby expected Daisy to wait 5 years, yet he had trouble waiting 2 minutes...I love this movie/book, the more you read it the more you discover. It is infinitely layered

katie0621

Yup, layered and everyone's flaws showing.

exo's calm fan

it seemed he was extremely nervous to finally meet her, not that he wouldn’t wait. pretty sure he tried lots of times to contact her

Not because he’s full of himself. But because the stress. The intense ness is eating him up inside. You can see him jitter and studder. The rest of the movie he is so confident and well put. But in sight of her he just melts. And can’t handle the pressure. That’s why.
