Where are you? Where are you? And so we follow as the singer pursues some absent party. We get the sense that she might not be looking for a real, known person. Chasing my dust today, chasing my blush today. She grapples with her own doubt, restless in her restlessness, pausing for a moment to consider the inevitable: Where are you? You know it’s up to fate. But fate can be rationalized; if it’s up to fate, then she is either fated to succeed or fail. And so she continues, searching the pinky blue skies, and the song continues, scoring a chase montage in some lost John Hughes film.
