I can't find you, the girl that I once had

from Childish Gambino – Heartbeat Lyrics on Rap Genius

Double meaning:

• She’s changed. The person she is now isn’t the person she was when she was with him. Even though he’s inside her (and knowing her Biblically), he can’t know her.
• In the sexual sense, “I can’t find you” is being used in a manner similar to the way he used the phrase here. He’s no longer able to satisfy her sexually the way he could when they were together.
• He can’t physically find her because she’s avoiding him. Hey man, have you seen that girl? That girl that I once had?
