See You Lyrics

These notes are marked "Return to Sender"
I'll save this letter for myself
I wish you only knew
How good it is to see you
See you
See you

These steps I take don't get me anywhere
I'm getting further from myself
One thing is always true:
How good it is to see you
See you
See you

I'm done resenting you
You represented me so well
And this I promise you:
How could I end up in the hands of someone else?

These notes are marked "Return to Sender"
I'll save this letter for myself
I wish you only knew
How good it is to see you
See you
See you
See you
See you

this song is definetly about when someone breaks up with you, but you still really like them. They don't feel the same way about you but it still makes you feel good to see them "I wish you only knew how good it is to see you"

"These steps I take don't get me anywhere I'm getting further from myself" - line means: you are trying to get the person to like you in 'that way' again, it doesnt work, in doing this you don't act like yourself

"I'm done resenting you you represented me so well" - 'resenting you' the 'you' is not a person its the fact that the person broke up with you, and the 'you represented me so well' you thought you were so great together

this is my second favorite song off of the colour and the shape, beind everlong. Dave Grohl kicks ass.

Yeah, it's definitely a break-up or something along the lines of a falling out with someone.

To me it's always been a story like: He wrote a letter telling her how he feels, poured himself into it, and in the sent it to her. She doesn't bother to read it and sent it right back to him, hence the "marked Return to Sender" line... because when you get a letter you don't want, you don't even open it and just put it back in the box and write "RETURN TO SENDER" on it.

I love this song because he's like "ok, you don't give a shit about me, but I'm still filled with such an amazing feeling when I see you and we had something amazing together, so I'm letting go of my hurt over your actions/inaction, and just embracing that feeling when it comes and goes. I just wish you knew about it."

Very upbeat song about getting over someone, I think. Or trying to in good faith. :p

Another really really good song that I can say I personally think is better than Everlong.

I adore this song. It's a funnier, more light-hearted look at a bad breakup. The Colour and the Shape is just a phenomenal album.

my favourite song on the colour and the shape. Ye i really like it better than everlong.

I think this is about that he got into an argument with his girlfriend and, maybe she doesn't want to hear from him, but he still feels happy when he sees her. Maybe the argument was about him eyeing up someone else, and he's just trying to convince her that she's the one for him, or something.

Favorite FF song of all time. Except for Acoustic/Extended Everlong. I never thought of this as break-up song but I like plastic-man's take on it.

An error occured.

break-up or not, this song is just so funky and lighthearted you just gotta love it! Nother evidence of Daves genius
