The song is about the unrequited crush of an ‘invisible’ boy. (And Tim wanted to say “record store”.)
lyrics
I know you’re the one for me, I really think so
My friends, they don’t see, they wanna know what I’m on about
I know I’ve got a crush on you
But what’s a poor city boy to do?
Heart, it’s on my sleeve, I really think so
It seems like make-believe, forever feeling out of sight
Can’t tell if you’re the living end
Or maybe just my imaginary friend
When’ll you see, I got my eye on you
When’ll you see, I got my eye on you
Guess I was hoping that you already knew
When’ll you see, I got my eye
Got my eye on you
You’re always on the scene, like the time, and the time before
I sit here sight unseen, too easy to ignore
I never thought you’d have the ability
To give me the power of invisibility
When’ll you see, I got my eye on you
When’ll you see, I got my eye on you
Guess I was hoping that you already knew
When’ll you see, I got my eye
Got my eye on you
Eye on you
That’s the thing that keeps me up at night
Eye on you
Try to find a way to get a view
Eye on you
I count the stars and wish with all my might
Eye on you
Alone, awake, and think of you
When I go to the record store I just stop and stare
I see you flippin’ vinyl mostly unaware
Wanna tell you what you do to me
No chance, you look right through me
When’ll you see, I got my eye on you
When’ll you see, I got my eye on you
Guess I was hoping that you already knew
When’ll you see, I got my eye
Got my eye on you
When’ll you see, I got my eye on you
When’ll you see, I got my eye on you
Guess I was hoping that you already knew
When’ll you see, I got my eye
Got my eye on you
