Taken Aback Lyrics
It's been two whole years
Since you and I shared fears
2:30AM, talking 'til sleep inside that diner
Now, in your eyes, I can't find you
Sorry that I'm taken aback
But, how I am
You never ask
And I don't need such sympathy
But, a care would be so, woah, woah
Nice to have once in awhile
You mean more to me than I could ever tell
So, sorry that I'm taken aback
But, I just can't help it
Small town, we just ride
Holding on to what we had inside
But, now it's never there
So, should I admit?
Do I believe, I, too, am the culprit?
Cause now in your eyes, I can't find you
Sorry that I'm taken aback
But, how I am
You never ask
And I don't need such sympathy
But, a care would be so, woah, woah
Nice to have once in awhile
You mean more to me than I could ever tell
So, sorry that I'm taken aback
But, I just can't help it
Someday this will go away
And everything I am will just leave and fade
And I hope then, you will understand
It's not everything I am, my dear, only friend
Sorry that I'm taken aback
But, how I am
You never ask
And I don't need such sympathy
But, a care would be so, woah, woah
Nice to have once in awhile
You mean more to me than I could ever tell
So, sorry that I'm taken aback
But ,I just can't help it
Oh, woah, oh, oh
Oh, woah, woah
Oh, woah, oh, oh
Since you and I shared fears
2:30AM, talking 'til sleep inside that diner
Now, in your eyes, I can't find you
But, how I am
You never ask
And I don't need such sympathy
But, a care would be so, woah, woah
Nice to have once in awhile
You mean more to me than I could ever tell
So, sorry that I'm taken aback
But, I just can't help it
Holding on to what we had inside
But, now it's never there
So, should I admit?
Do I believe, I, too, am the culprit?
Cause now in your eyes, I can't find you
But, how I am
You never ask
And I don't need such sympathy
But, a care would be so, woah, woah
Nice to have once in awhile
You mean more to me than I could ever tell
So, sorry that I'm taken aback
But, I just can't help it
And everything I am will just leave and fade
And I hope then, you will understand
It's not everything I am, my dear, only friend
But, how I am
You never ask
And I don't need such sympathy
But, a care would be so, woah, woah
Nice to have once in awhile
You mean more to me than I could ever tell
So, sorry that I'm taken aback
But ,I just can't help it
Oh, woah, woah
Oh, woah, oh, oh
Add your song meanings, interpretations, facts, memories & more to the community.
There are a couple lines in the second verse that I really just couldn't get a hold of, but give me your corrections and I'll make sure to fix them up.
I have the lyrics in front of me from the cd.
So should I admit Do I believe I, too, am the culprit? Because now in your eyes I can't find you.
it's he talking about some ex girlfriend or something like this?
I guess it could be about an ex, but I think it has to do with old friends. I'm given this idea because he mentions his small town, and so I feel like he's drawing back on old memories and how things aren't the same anymore. For a moment, he also wonders if he should take any of the blame for that.
Also, he says, "It's not everything I am, my dear, only friend." The connection to a friend can be obviously drawn from this. Also, I think he might be talking about his career as a musical artist. Maybe that helped create distance between him and his friend and he wants the friend to know it will be over some day, that it's not everything, and he's still the same person.
i heard its about a father and son reunion. so maybe it relates to his dad
i could be wrong, but to me it seems like this song's about seeing an ex a few years after sort of a complicated break-up..the kind of thing where there was something there, but for one reason or another they just couldn't make it work. that's probably taking it into the more concrete sense, but it matches up pretty well to me.
I kinda get this feeling that its the ex that breaks up with him and he's taken aback. So he thinks and reminisces about the memories and experiences they shared and realizes it might not be that bad.
Sorry that I'm taken aback But, how I am You never ask And I don't need such sympathy But, a care would be so, woah, woah Nice to have once in awhile You mean more to me than I could ever tell So, sorry that I'm taken aback But, I just can't help it
great lyrics
well I think that he's talking about an old friend that he meets after not seeing him for a long time, obviously they have been really close back then. Now Bryce realized that things just aren't the same anymore and that the friend isn't really intrested in him anymore...(I don't need such sympathy)
I love this song!! I'm so excited to see them in concert tonight!! :D :D This song is so great. I think it's about a relationship that has failed and the other person doesn't care to know how you are, and you wish they did. I totally get that, it's happening to me right now.
