Comin' and Goin'
Love's Rollercoaster: Navigating Passion's Twists and Turns
Lyrics
Stay at home
Expressing the desire to stay home.
Phone that should be ringin'
Expecting a call that hasn’t come.
Quiet as a picture on the wall
Comparing the quietness to a still picture on the wall.
Now, tea for one, a song I'm used to singin'
Being alone, reminiscing about a familiar song.
Walking up and down an empty hall
Walking in an empty space.
Takin' off a wrinkled dress
Removing a dress, possibly anticipating someone’s presence.
That you never got to see
Referring to attire never seen by the other person.
Then you come a-knockin' at my door
Unexpectedly being visited.
You know you could've fooled me
Feeling deceived by the surprise visit.
You've got me comin' and goin' baby
Feeling emotionally conflicted by the actions of the other person.
And I never know exactly what to do
Expressing confusion and uncertainty about what to do.
So I ask myself why should I care?
Questioning the significance of caring.
What is it I see in there?
Reflecting on the perception of something in the other person.
That makes the same old line sound like it's new?
Wondering why the same words or actions seem different.
Oh I'm comin' and goin' crazy over you, ah
Feeling emotionally unstable and overwhelmed by feelings for the person.
Ahh, you and me
Referencing the connection between two people.
Once we get together
Describing a temporary togetherness.
For a little while we're Jack and Jill
Using a metaphor of Jack and Jill.
Baby, baby, now face to face, it's too good to believe it
Expressing disbelief at the sudden closeness.
Sure enough, you leave me standing still
Feeling abandoned when the other person leaves abruptly.
You're a complicated man
Characterizing the person as complex.
But I do the best I can
Doing the best possible despite the situation.
I go in and out of heaven so fast
Experiencing rapid emotional shifts.
I don't know where I am
Feeling disoriented due to quick changes.
You've got me comin' and goin' baby
Reiterating the confusion caused by the other person’s actions.
And I never know exactly what to do
Continuing uncertainty about how to respond.
So I ask myself why should I care?
Questioning the reason for caring.
What is it I see in there?
Searching for something different or genuine in the relationship.
That makes the same old line sound like it's new?
Wondering why the same words or actions seem different.
Oh, I'm comin' and goin' crazy
Expressing intensified emotional turmoil.
Comin' and goin' crazy
Repeating the sentiment of feeling overwhelmed.
You've got me comin' and goin' baby
Reiterating the confusion and indecision caused by the other person’s actions.
And I never know, now I never know, what to do, ahh
Continued uncertainty about what to do.
You've got me comin' and goin' baby
Repeating the emotional impact of the other person’s behavior.
You just don't know what you put me through
Highlighting the unawareness of the emotional effect.
When the only face I see is you
Expressing a longing or preoccupation with the person.
You've got me comin' and goin' baby
Reiterating the confusion and emotional dependence.
Say the magic isn't really gone
Asserting a belief that the emotional connection remains.
It's you I'm still depending on
Expressing continued reliance on the person.
