Charlie Martin:
It’s about my relationship with my dad, and getting to that place in a tough relationship where you realize your parents are just people, just like you. It’s about the relief of realizing that those difficulties are less about you than you think."
[Chorus]
Magnolia tree
You said you could see you in me
I was surprised
Could've used you in my life but
You were blind
(Could've used you in my life but)
You were blind
Blindsided
[Verse]
Never really met my friends, knew each other from a distance
Ask about him, I miss him, think about it all, miss it
Rode our bikes to the Tom Thumb, hot summers where I come from
Cold Bud in a solo cup, Fresh Air on the radio
In the shade of the back porch, mama said she's mad at you
After dark on the Hi-Fi, is it gonna be alright?
Crank it up to 'Everlong', always was your favorite song
Air drums in the living room, early mеmories of you
[Chorus]
Magnolia tree
You said you could see you in me
I was surprised
Could'vе used you in my life but
You were blind
(Could've used you in my life but)
You were blind

Charlie Martin:
“Blindsided” is about my childhood in Dallas—all the ups and downs I remember with vivid detail. I try hard to see memories with empathy because it feels like the most solid ground to walk on.
