"Finding Me" as written by and Matthew B. Scannell....
I don't think you notice
When you see my face
I guess you're waiting
To spin me around again
Wheels I guess are turning
Somewhere inside my head
I know that this is
Deeper than you get
But you're coming back again
You don't mean to waste my time
But you're coming back so
[Chorus]
Don't tell me
How to be
'Cause I like some suffering
Don't ask me
What I need
I'm just fine
Here finding me
Me
I've already given
Up on getting through
I never question
Who I'm talking to
Oh so much for nothing
But nothing means so much
I know it's touching
But I've been out of touch
And it's all that I can do
I'm a sight for my sore eyes
But it's all I am so
[Chorus]
I don't think you notice
When I can't reach out
I guess you're waiting
On somebody else again
Oh so much for talking
It's all been said before
I'm hearing something
But I wish you'd just say more
But you're going off again
When I try to just hold on
But you're going off so
[Chorus]
When you see my face
I guess you're waiting
To spin me around again
Wheels I guess are turning
Somewhere inside my head
I know that this is
Deeper than you get
But you're coming back again
You don't mean to waste my time
But you're coming back so
[Chorus]
Don't tell me
How to be
'Cause I like some suffering
Don't ask me
What I need
I'm just fine
Here finding me
Me
I've already given
Up on getting through
I never question
Who I'm talking to
Oh so much for nothing
But nothing means so much
I know it's touching
But I've been out of touch
And it's all that I can do
I'm a sight for my sore eyes
But it's all I am so
[Chorus]
I don't think you notice
When I can't reach out
I guess you're waiting
On somebody else again
Oh so much for talking
It's all been said before
I'm hearing something
But I wish you'd just say more
But you're going off again
When I try to just hold on
But you're going off so
[Chorus]

And then the chorus is what the person is feeling but can't say. They don't want this person to try to tell them what to do or explain things to them because she has absolutely no idea what's really going on with him. He is going through things that person can't relate to at all and is trying to find himself and doesn't need her help. This is "deeper than you get", the girlfriend/partner is happy and simple and doesn't understand this suffering or searchign or any of it.
Then the next verse... He's given up on it completely now, the person just doesn't get it. He just goes around talking to people now, and it doesn't really matter who. "So much for nothing, but nothing means so much", they're never seeing eachother, never talking, never doing anything, there's nothing. And this nothing means so much, it's horrible.
Then, again, she doens't pick up on what he's going through. She doesn't notice when he's trying to reach out and tell her but can't, she's just off having fun with other people. Talking to her is stupid, it's all been said before. Now, they're talking again, he's hearing something, but he wishes she'd just say more.... She's not on the same level as him. It's going off again, the relationship is falling apart. He's trying to just hold on, but she's going off in his mind, going down... it's got to end.
This song is word for word what my boyfriend Max was like. It's kinda shocking how much it describes it.
It fit perfectly with a girl I was foolish enough to fall for....
