Lyrics
Met a girl late at night
Encountered a girl late at night
At the memorial gardens on the east side
Location: Memorial gardens on the east side
Her face was a ghostly white
Describes the girl's pale face
And her voice such a lovely fright
Her voice is both lovely and frightening
So we started talking
Initiated conversation
I said "How'd you end up here?"
Asking about how she ended up there
She said "Well I was walking
She explains walking across the street and ending up there
Across the street and found myself right here"
Describes the unexpectedness of her location
She said do not worry
Reassures not to worry
Reminiscent of a hurry
Reminiscent of a hurry, possibly urgency
Together let's misbehave
Expresses a desire to misbehave together
Be with you till my grave
Commitment to being together until death
A love like this gives me chills
Describes the love giving chills
A love so scarily fleeting
Portrays the love as frighteningly brief
A love like this gives me chills
Reiterates the chilling effect of the love
Here on this moonlit meeting
Setting: Moonlit meeting
A love like this gives me chills
Repeats the impact of the chilling love
A love so scarily fleeting
Emphasizes the fleeting nature of the love
A love like this gives me chills
Reiterates the love giving chills
Long as her heart keeps beating
Condition for the chilling love: As long as her heart keeps beating
It was getting pretty late
Time reference: It was getting pretty late
Moonlight shining through the oak tree
Describes moonlight shining through an oak tree
Thinking she's my soulmate
Believing she's the soulmate
And she was pretty keen on me
She reciprocates interest
Such a pretty transparent face
Compliments her transparent face
So I tried my best to steer
Effort to guide the situation
Let's take this back to your place
Suggesting to go back to her place
She said "We're already here"
Reveals they are already there
A love like this gives me chills
Repeats the love giving chills
A love so scarily fleeting
Reiterates the frightening brevity of the love
A love like this gives me chills
Emphasizes the chilling effect of the love
Here on this moonlit meeting
Setting: Moonlit meeting
A love like this gives me chills
Repeats the impact of the chilling love
A love so scarily fleeting
Underlines the fleeting nature of the love
A love like this gives me chills
Reiterates the love giving chills
Long as her heart keeps beating
Condition for the chilling love: As long as her heart keeps beating
