이 노래 이야기

화자는 오랫동안 "watching from the windows... outside looking in"하며 세상과 거리를 두고 지내온 시간을 돌아본다. 스스로 "just how blind I've been"이라는 구절로, 자신이 얼마나 갇혀 있었는지조차 몰랐다는 뒤늦은 깨달음을 고백한다.

“And at last I see the light, and it's like the fog has lifted"라는 후렴은 안개가 걷히듯 세상이 선명해지는 순간을 그리며, 그 변화의 이유를 "now that I see you"라는 한 사람의 등장으로 돌린다. 세상이 달라진 게 아니라 그 사람을 보게 되면서 자신의 시야 자체가 달라졌다는 점을 강조하며 마무리된다.

All those daysWatching from the windowsAll those yearsOutside looking inAll that timeNever even knowingJust how blind I've been

Now I'm hereBlinking in the starlightNow I'm hereSuddenly I seeStanding hereIt's all so clearI'm where I'm meant to be

And at last I see the lightAnd it's like the fog has liftedAnd at last I see the lightAnd it's like the sky is newAnd it's warm and real and brightAnd the world has somehow shiftedAll at once everything looks differentNow that I see you

All those daysChasing down a daydreamAll those yearsLiving in a blurAll that timeNever truly seeing thingsThe way they were

Now she's hereShining in the starlightNow she's hereSuddenly I knowIf she's hereIt's crystal clearI'm where I'm meant to go

And at last I see the lightAnd it's like the fog has liftedAnd at last I see the lightAnd it's like the sky is newAnd it's warm and real and brightAnd the world has somehow shiftedAll at once everything is differentNow that I see you

Now that I see you
