What Are You Listening To? Lyrics

I think this one is pretty straightforward, but it is such a good song that I just discovered recently, so just wanted to share my thoughts on it.

Songs can have so much meaning that can be unique to an individual. A song can bring you back so vividly to a time in your life when you were really into that song. They say that smell is the strongest sense tied to memories, but the sound of a particular song is probably a close second.

This song is clearly about a guy after a break up where he is not over her, he wants her back and can't stop thinking about her, and he is wondering about what songs she is listening to now, because he wants to know what state of mind she is in now? Is she like him now, and listening to sad songs wishing they were back together? Or is she partying and having fun, forgetting about him? Or worse, is she listening to a love song and thinking about someone else?

Great song, great lyrics, clearly a gifted song writer.
