Can we pause this conversation?
It's not an explanation I need
It's just a little much to take in
If you gotta go
And this is the end
Is it okay
It's not goodbye
It doesn't make sense
But is it okay
I just pretend?
I pretend
I'll see, I'll see you again
I'll see you again
I pretend
I'll see, I'll see you again
I'll see you again
There's a lot of feelings to ignore
And I don't wanna start to miss you
Never really closing the door
It's like a part of us continues
If you gotta go
And this is the end
Is it okay
I just pretend?
It's not goodbye
It doesn't make sense
But is it okay
I just pretend?
I pretend
I'll see, I'll see you again (i will see you again)
I'll see you again
I pretend
I'll see, I'll see you again
I'll see you again (i will see you again)
So, baby, leave me
In a world of wishful thinking (oh)
Where I get to keep you
'Cause I never let it sink in
I won't ever let it sink in
Oh
I'll see, I'll see you again
I'll see you again
I pretend
I'll see, I'll see you again
I'll see you again (I)
I'll see, I'll see you again
I'll see you again
I pretend
I'll see, I'll see you again (I)
I'll see you again
See you again
(I'll see, I'll see you again)
(I'll see you again)
I pretend
(I'll see, I'll see you again
(I'll see you again)
The lyrics to "See You Again" by Years & Years express a longing to see someone again, even if it means pretending that they are still there. The song seems to be about a breakup or the end of a relationship, and the singer is struggling to come to terms with it. They ask their partner to "lie a little" for them and pause the conversation because it's too much to take in.
The chorus repeats the phrase "I'll see you again" over and over, emphasizing the singer's desire to see their loved one once more. They don't want to say goodbye, and the idea of never seeing this person again is too much to bear. The bridge of the song offers some insight into the singer's mindset, as they sing, "Baby, leave me in a world of wishful thinking / Where I get to keep you / 'Cause I never let it sink in." The singer is holding onto the hope that they will be reunited with their loved one, even if it means living in a fantasy world where they never have to face the reality of their loss.
Overall, "See You Again" is a poignant and emotional song that captures the feeling of wanting to see someone again after they're gone. The lyrics convey a sense of desperation and longing that anyone who's experienced a breakup can relate to.

It's not an explanation I need
I don't need you to explain anything; I just need to have you here with me
It's just a little much to take in
It's overwhelming to think about what it would be like if you weren't here with me
If you gotta go
If you have to leave
And this is the end
And this is goodbye
Is it okay
Is it alright
I just pretend?
If I just pretend that this isn't goodbye, will it make it hurt less?
It's not goodbye
I don't want to say goodbye
It doesn't make sense
Saying goodbye doesn't make sense to me
But is it okay
But is it okay with you

If I just pretend that this isn't goodbye, will it make it hurt less?
I pretend
I imagine in my mind
I'll see, I'll see you again
I'll see you again, even if it's only in my imagination
There's a lot of feelings to ignore
There are so many emotions that we need to suppress in order to say goodbye
And I don't wanna start to miss you
I don't want to start feeling the pain of missing you even though you're still here with me
Never really closing the door
We're leaving the possibility of seeing each other again open
It's like a part of us continues
We'll still have a connection even if we're apart
So, baby, leave me
Leave me here wishing that we could stay together forever
In a world of wishful thinking
In my imagination where we can always be together
Where I get to keep you
Where I can imagine that you'll always be here with me
'Cause I never let it sink in
Because I refuse to accept that this is really goodbye
I won't ever let it sink in
I won't let the reality of you leaving sink in
I'll see, I'll see you again
I'll imagine seeing you again
See you again
Even if it's only in my mind, I'll see you again
