In this article, we will discover the message behind the lines. The complete lyrics and the official streaming are also available at the bottom.
I Guess: the song lyrics and their meaning
“I Guess” is a song about the birth of love: in the lyrics, Lizzy McAlpine poetically describes the first encounter with a person and how the feelings arose, even though they don’t know each other much.
The singer exposes her most innocent and genuine side. The song begins with those little things that happen after a first date: how we want to impress the other, maybe telling some little lies, how we feel everything is just right, although we just met. It’s a unique mix of uncertainty and emotional intensity. We can’t really explain it, and that’s probably the beauty of it.
We’re not alone
I’ll tell a lie just to bring you home
We dance together
You’re not that good
I’ll tell a lie, but it’s understood
So Lizzy McAlpine interrogates herself about why things like that happen. Maybe it’s just because that encounter arrived at the perfect moment, with both ready to open their hearts to each other. We are talking about someone “we’ve never met,” but the singer already dares to mention love.
I guess it’s all about timing
I guess it’s all about the things you want but never get
I guess it’s all about trying
To love someone you’ve never met
The song continues describing this instinctual date, where things grow fast despite no apparent reason behind them. At the end of the lyrics, “I Guess” shows a glimpse of awareness: this is something that usually doesn’t have a happy ending, so we should probably wait a little more and see, without feeding our expectations. Things are not so easy, typically. We wish they were, but we are probably acting too fast, right?
Wish it was easy
I wish I knew
What I was doing, but I never do
In conclusion, that’s the real meaning behind the lyrics in “I Guess”: we just met, and I can sense these vast feelings growing inside me already. It’s a unique sensation, and I want to be dragged by it. But deep inside me, I know things usually don’t go that way. The purity of love appears in the spontaneous way it burns, but how reliable are those initial sensations?

Straighten your tie
We’re not alone
I’ll tell a lie just to bring you home
We dance together
You’re not that good
I’ll tell a lie, but it’s understood
I guess it’s all about timing
I guess it’s all about the things you want but never get
I guess it’s all about trying
To love someone you’ve never met
We eat our dinner
Then we undress
And now we’re equal, more or less
Now I am sick, and
You’re probably drunk
You’re saying things, and they sound like love
I guess it’s all about timing
I guess it’s all about the things you have but didn’t want
I guess it’s all about dying
To love someone
Wish it was easy
I wish I knew
What I was doing, but I never do
(Here we go)
