Lyrics
If you could see you
If you could see yourself
Through these eyes of blue
Looking at yourself from the perspective of the speaker's "eyes of blue"
You would think your beautiful
You would realize your own beauty
Waiting all your life now just to feel alive
Spent a long time waiting to experience a sense of vitality or liveliness
The house is on fire
A metaphorical description of a crisis or intense situation
Smoking desires
Desires that are burning or passionate
Wrapped up in the trapeze wires
Caught up in complex and challenging situations
He's falling through your window
A person, possibly symbolic, falling into someone's life unexpectedly
Float past the sun
Drifting or moving past a bright, positive aspect of life
Feeling you might be home
Sensing a feeling of being at home
Float past the sun
Repeating the idea of moving past a positive experience
Feeling you might be home
Reiterating the sense of feeling at home
Mother's and sons
Reference to family relationships
Sisters and guns
Connecting sisters with guns, possibly alluding to conflict or danger
Father wonders what went wrong
A father questioning what went wrong in the family
Holding up the doorway
Standing in the way or blocking progress
Ceilings fall
A metaphorical representation of collapse or failure
House is on fire
Repetition of the metaphorical house on fire, suggesting ongoing crisis
Smoking desires
Desires enveloped in smoke, possibly obscured or unclear
Wrapped up in the TV wires
Caught up in the distractions or illusions presented by television
He's falling through your window
Continuation of the person falling into someone's life unexpectedly
Float past the sun
Drifting past a positive aspect again
Feeling you might be home
Feeling the possibility of being at home
Float past the sun
Reiteration of moving past a positive experience
Free you might be home
Suggesting the freedom to be at home
Free you might be home
Repeating the idea of freedom and being at home
Freedom you might be home
Emphasizing the concept of freedom and home
Live, Live tonight
Encouragement to live and enjoy the present night
Live, Live tonight
Repetition of the call to live tonight
Live, Live tonight
Continued emphasis on living in the moment
Live, Live tonight
Reiteration of the call to live tonight
Live, Live tonight
Repeating the encouragement to live in the present
Live, Live tonight
Further repetition of the invitation to live tonight
He's falling through your window
Continuation of the person falling into someone's life unexpectedly
