The title of this song [GET] made me think that it was about catching something, but in the end it was not.
And it did.
The main character is free to have fun, and when he finally meets her, he says, “See you later,” even though he came out without telling his family.
I’ve come out of the house without telling him, but he just says, “See you later”.
