Meet Me at the Corner Lyrics

Please don't ask me who,
Or who you think I am
I could live without that,
I'm just a modest man

Meet me at the corner and, oh
Tell me what to do
'Cause I messed up on you,
And had I known all that I do now
I'm guessing we're through now,
Receding into the forest
I will lay around and wait
And I'll wait for you

Please don't ask me where,
Or where you think I've been
I've been a lot of places
But this could be my win

Meet me at the corner where I'll
Tell me what to do
'Cause I messed up on you,
And had I known all that I do now
I'm guessing we're through now,
Receding into the forest,
I will lay around and wait
And I'll wait for you

I feel so bad, I thought you'd wanna know
I feel so bad, I thought you'd wanna know
Something I wanna show,
I thought you'd wanna know

Please don't say you want
To keep in touch I bare
To see you on the corner
That I just can't bare

Meet me at the corner and, oh
Tell me what to do
'Cause I messed up on you,
And had I known all that I do now
I'm guessing we're through now
Receding into the forest,
I will lay around and wait

And I turn, I turn my head
When I thought I saw a sign from the Gods
A sign from the Gods that you were meant to be mine
And it's fine, taking it all for a ride
Until the day when it's gone
I mystified my way and it all went wrong
When it's gone
I live and I learn and I lose and I win,
But it's better than ever, whenever I'm here,
Thank you girl for everywhere that we've been

What is the Meaning of Meet Me at the Corner?

In a swirl of regret and longing, this poignant track paints a vivid picture of lost love and missed opportunities. The protagonist seems to be grappling with his mistakes, yearning for a chance to make amends at their old meeting spot. However, he is also aware that the relationship has likely reached an impasse due to his actions. He oscillates between hope and despair, retreating into the forest - a metaphor for his inner world - to wait for a resolution that may never come. The repeated refrain 'I feel so bad' underscores his guilt and remorse. Yet, amidst the heartache, there's an undercurrent of gratitude for the journey they've shared. The song ultimately serves as a bittersweet ode to love lost but not forgotten.
