I See You, You See Me Lyrics
I never wanted to love you, but that’s ok,
I always knew that you’d leave me anyway,
But darling when I see you, I see me.
I asked the boys if they’d let me go out and play,
They always said that you’d hurt me anyway,
But darling when I see you, I see me.
And it’s alright,
I never thought I’d fall in love again,
It’s alright ,
I looked to you as my only friend,
It’s alright,
I never thought that I could feel this something,
Rising, rising in my veins,
Looks like its happened again.
I never thought that you wanted for me to stay,
So I left you with girls that came your way,
But darling when I see you, I see me.
I often thought that you’d be better off left alone,
Well throw a circle round a man with broken bones,
But darling when I see you, I see me.
And it’s alright,
I never thought I’d fall in love again,
It’s alright ,
I looked to you as my only friend,
It’s alright,
I never thought that I could feel this something,
Rising, rising in my veins,
Looks like its happened again.
You always looked like you had something else on your mind,
But when I tried to tell you, you tell me “never mind”,
But darling when I see you, you see me.
I wanna tell you that I’ll never love anyone else
You wanna tell me that you’re better off by yourself
But darling when I see you, you see me.
This is not what I’m like; this not what I do.
This is not what I’m like; I think I’m falling for you.
This is not what I’m like; this is not what I do.
This is not what I’m like; I think I’m falling for you.
This is not what I’m like; this not what I do.
This is not what I’m like; I think I’m falling for you.
This is not what I’m like; this not what I do.
This is not what I’m like; I think I’m falling for you.
I never thought
This is not what I’m like, this is not what I do.
I never thought
This is not what I’m like; I think I’m falling for you.
I never thought
This is not what I’m like,
I never thought
This is not what I do.
I never thought
This is not what I’m like,
I never thought
I think I’m falling for you.
I never thought I could feel this something,
Rising, rising in my veins,
And it looks like I feel this something
Rising, rising in my veins
Looks like its happened again.
I always knew that you’d leave me anyway,
But darling when I see you, I see me.
They always said that you’d hurt me anyway,
But darling when I see you, I see me.

actually, I get the opposite reaction. Maybe I am seeing through the veil of optomism but I see it as two friends who are simultaneously beginning to wonder exactly who they are to each other. Each person has been hurt in romance before "I often thought that you’d be better off left alone, Well throw a circle round a man with broken bones" and neither are eager to take that risk again. Also as a result of the previous hurt both are overcautious and constantly second guessing how the other feel about them. Neither want to be in that vulnerable state again and have therefore hardened and become more cynical. "This is not what I’m like; this not what I do. This is not what I’m like; I think I’m falling for you. " Also both are at the point where they' re getting ready to say how they feel but just can't bring themselves to do it. Well for what it's worth that's my take on it.
I thought it was about two people falling in love, but not expecting to
It's a nice take on the song and the nice music would have you believe that it was about a friendship turning into romance but i don't think it is, i agree with aj more. Two people who are kinda both cheats who wouldn't usually fall in love. they fall for each other. and have a rocky relationship. But can never truly part. I like listening to a song with another persons interpretation in mind, i can see where celestra is coming from.
the video to this song is cool, doesn't stop you believing your own version of the songmeaning like alot of crap videos do.

Such a beautiful song!
I've got to agree with celestra. There is a lot of optimism in the song.
To me this song is about understanding and misunderstanding - two friends trying to contemplate falling in love with one another. They've been hurt - they are unsure about trusting another with feelings - but they see they can be happy together- and for once feel real love.
"I never thought that I would feel this something, Rising, rising in my veins..."
Let's not be so cynical guys! Just enjoy it - especially the female vocal..........wow..............
Hmm i think it's about 2 people who have previously split up, and have been on/off friends since and are now starting to fall in love with each other again.
A person was hurt by love, they never thought they would recover but they have...they go on to feel love again but they never forget that one person who was their true love. when its true love you will always love them even when u move on.
I think it's about two friends, who support each other through all their relationships but secretly all the time want each other, but don't know it and then they realise that the feeling is mutual, and how much the other means to them.
I think it is about two people realising how much they love each other, I remember looking at my ex when we were still together and thinking I see myself in him, "when I see you I see me", we were so of one mine and together it felt like at that time were part of the same piece.
I hated this band but my bro bought the album and forced me to listen to it all. anyway as soon as i heard this song and realised it wasnt all cheesy backing vocals and that some of it was meaningful and deep i ws hooked.
