Walkin' the Floor Over Me
Whispers of Heartache: Unveiling the Emotions Behind Alan Jackson's Melodic Tale
Lyrics
There's a lady living right above me
Describing a woman living in the apartment above.
Pretty as a picture on the wall
Comparing her beauty to a picture on the wall.
Once I helped her with a bag of groceries
Recalling a past interaction helping her with groceries.
We met a time or two out in the hall
Having encountered her occasionally in the hallway.
She told me somebody hurt her feelings
Learning that someone has hurt her emotionally.
The hurt that's in her eyes is plain to see
Observing the evident pain in her eyes.
Slowly she's been wearing out my ceiling
Noticing her constant pacing, affecting the speaker's ceiling.
Walkin' the floor over me
Summing up the situation - she's troubled and pacing over him.
Every night I hear her cryin'
Hearing her cry every night.
Cryin' over some old memory
Expressing her emotional distress tied to memories.
A little of my heart is down here dyin'
Feeling a personal emotional impact as a result.
'Cause she's walkin' the floor over me
Reiterating her pacing over him and the emotional toll it takes.
Back and forth I followed every footstep
Following her footsteps back and forth, illustrating her restlessness.
Countin' long enough to fall asleep
Counting, trying to find solace and sleep amid the disturbance.
Had the sweetest dream last night 'cause I dreamt
Having a positive dream about her, emphasizing the impact of her actions.
She was walkin' the floor over me
Imagining her pacing even in dreams.
Every night I hear her cryin'
Repeating the nightly sound of her crying.
Cryin' over some old memory
Linking her tears to old memories.
A little of my heart is down here dyin'
Expressing personal heartache due to her emotional state.
'Cause she's walkin' the floor over me
Reiterating the impact of her pacing on the speaker.
That woman is walkin' the floor over me
Summarizing that the woman's actions are affecting the speaker deeply.
