See You Soon

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everything you see
But I went the wrong direction
You needed some affection
And I'm not sure why, but I will see you soon
(I guess I have to take it, I'm deteriorating)
Feelin' blue
It's a walk in the park
You said, "It's not that hard"
I'm feelin' kinda dizzy
I don't want this to leave me
And I told you I'll see you soon
(I guess I have to take it, I'm deteriorating)
Feelin' blue
(I'd rather have a meaning and it looks appealing)
I want you
Had some time away, didn't wanna go insane from this
I wanted you to know I need time to grow and to exist
I think I needed space, let you know I'm safe
I swear it's just a little thing
See you soon
(I guess I have to take it, I'm deteriorating)
Feelin' blue
(I'd rather have a meaning and it looks appealing)
I want you
