Her

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Didn't know it 'till she was already leavin'
On a train, goin' south ten minutes ago
I'm so bad at makin' conversation
I couldn't ask her for her number or her name, and
I don't know if she just wants me to leave her alone
But I'll go sit in that subway station
Maybe she might come to me one day
I'll probably say something dumb
Like, "Do you come here often?"
'Cause I get so stupid in love when I'm talkin'
To her
But I'll try my best
To say more than a few words
Because I want to know just what she's thinkin'
Her favorite fruit and the drink she's drinkin'
Why she wears that puffy sweater
When it's so hot in this midsummer weather
I wanna know her past and be her future
I know right now I don't mean much to her
But if we ever meet again
I'll make sure I don't ever lose her
The lyrics to MJ Apanay's song "Her" tell the story of a man who has realized too late that he wants to be with a girl he saw leaving on a train. He laments his inability to start a conversation with her and get her number or name. In an attempt to possibly see her again, he goes to sit in the subway station and opens a book to look "sophisticated." He hopes that she will come to him one day so he can finally find out more about her and try to make a real connection. He admits that he tends to get "stupid in love" when he talks to her, but he wants to try his best to say more than just a few words next time he sees her. He's curious about everything from her favorite drink to why she wears a puffy sweater in the hot midsummer weather.
The lyrics are poignant and relatable, as many people have experienced regret over not speaking up when they had a chance to connect with someone they were interested in. The song captures the feeling of longing to know someone better and the hope that maybe someday, they will cross paths again.
