Clever

Wave

Does anybody know
Where all the people go, oh no
Does anybody care
I found what I will wear, oh no

And if I ever
Maybe never
Lose what I have found
I'm so clever

Coz they're coming after you
They're coming after you
Could we ever say what we wanna say
Coz they're coming after me
They're coming after me
Could we ever be what we wanna be

Did anybody see
The way she looked at me, oh no
I saw her standing there
Does anybody care, oh no

And if I ever
Maybe never
Lose what I have found
I'm so clever

And if I ever
Maybe never
Lose what I have found
I'm so clever

Can anybody hear me
Does anybody care

Does anybody know
Where all the people go, oh no
I saw her standing there
Does anybody care, oh no

And if I ever
Maybe never
Lose what I have found
I'm so clever

Coz they're coming after you
Coming after you
Coming after you
Coming after me
Coming after me
Coming after you
Coming after you
Coming after me
Coming after me

And if I ever
Maybe never
Lose what I have found
I'm so clever

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
