VAllEY Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Maybe I'd understand the things that you do
Stuck at a costume party, dressed in your shoes
If I could have anybody, you know that it would be you
And I get this feeling in my chest
And you're not here now to offset it
All the memories I can't suppress
Like that night we had in Chicago
When you pulled me up to that roof
And we played God with the people below us in their toy cars
I would be lying if I wasn't before
Why do I miss you like I miss you
Now you're out of my life?
I wanna know what you're doing tonight
Damn, we were something, now we're nothing
And I miss what that's like
I wanna know what you're doing tonight
If I could be anybody, I would be you
Keep my emotions in a box like you do
And do you ever think about
Coming back to kiss my mouth?
I miss the taste of you (and it's always been you)
And I get this feeling in my chest
And you're not here now to offset it
All the memories I can't suppress
Poured into my heart like cement
Like that night we had in Toronto
When you pulled me up to that roof
And we played God with the people below us in their toy cars
I would be lying if I wasn't before
Why do I miss you like I miss you
Now you're out of my life?
I wanna know what you're doing tonight
Damn, we were something, now we're nothing
And I miss what that's like
I wanna know what you're doing tonight
Wanna know what you're doing tonight
Wanna know what you're doing tonight (and I get this feeling in my chest)
Damn, we were something, now we're nothing (wanna know what you're doing tonight)
And I miss what that's like (wanna know what you're doing tonight)
Why do I miss you like I miss you (wanna know what you're doing tonight)
Now you're out of my life?
I wanna know what you're doing tonight (wanna know what you're doing tonight)
We hit a roadblock and a hiccup (wanna know what you're doing tonight)
You went on with your life
You never listened (wanna know what you're doing tonight)
We really fucked up this time
The lyrics to VAllEY's "Hiccup" express the feelings of longing and regret that come with a failed relationship. The first verse begins with the singer wishing they could be the person they are missing, hoping to understand their decisions and emotions. They imagine themselves in their shoes, even going so far as to wear their clothes to a costume party. The verse ends with the singer admitting that if they could have anyone, it would be the person they are missing.
The chorus repeats the question of why the singer misses the other person so much now that they are out of their life. They wonder what the other person is doing and reminisce about the past when they were something special. The second verse continues with this theme of missing the other person, describing memories they can't forget that feel like cement in their heart. They reference a night they spent together in Chicago and another in Toronto, playing God on the roof and watching the world below. The verse ends with the singer admitting that they are lying if they say they don't miss the other person.
The final chorus includes more lines about missing the other person and wanting to know what they are doing tonight, while also acknowledging the roadblock and hiccup that ended their relationship. The singer admits that they messed up and the other person never listened, but they still miss them. The song ends on this bittersweet note, with the singer unable to let go of their feelings.
Overall, "Hiccup" is a poignant and relatable depiction of the pain of losing someone you love. The lyrics capture the desire to understand the other person and the never-ending longing that comes with a failed relationship.

If I could be anybody, I would be you
I wish I could experience life the way you do
Maybe I'd understand the things that you do
I want to understand your actions
Stuck at a costume party, dressed in your shoes
I feel trapped and uncomfortable
If I could have anybody, you know that it would be you
I want to be with you more than anyone else
And I get this feeling in my chest
I am overwhelmed with emotion
And you're not here now to offset it
You are not present to help me balance my feelings
All the memories I can't suppress
I cannot forget the memories we shared
Poured into my heart like cement
The memories are heavy and permanent
Like that night we had in Chicago
I vividly remember our time together in Chicago
When you pulled me up to that roof
I remember the moment you took me to the roof
And we played God with the people below us in their toy cars
We felt powerful and in control as we watched the cars below us
I would be lying if I wasn't before
I was not truthful about my emotions in the past
Why do I miss you like I miss you
I am confused about the intensity of my feelings
Now you're out of my life?
I can't believe we are no longer together
I wanna know what you're doing tonight
I am curious about your current actions
Damn, we were something, now we're nothing
We had a strong connection, now it is gone
And I miss what that's like
I miss the feeling of our relationship
If I could be anybody, I would be you
I want to emulate your emotional control
Keep my emotions in a box like you do
I want to hide my emotions like you do
And do you ever think about
Do you remember
Coming back to kiss my mouth?
Do you miss the intimacy we shared?
I miss the taste of you (and it's always been you)
I miss the experience of being with you
When you pulled me up to that roof
I remember the time we spent together on a roof in Toronto
We hit a roadblock and a hiccup
We encountered a major problem that we couldn't overcome
You went on with your life
You moved on from our relationship
You never listened
You didn't understand my feelings
We really messed up this time
Our mistakes were significant and irreparable
