Oh Girl
Longing Echoes: Yearning for Reunion in "Oh Girl" by Eagles of Death Metal
Lyrics
Oh girl, when you coming back to me
The singer is eagerly anticipating the return of the girl.
Oh girl, when you coming back to me
Reiteration of the longing for the girl to come back.
Oh girl, when you coming back to me
Continued expression of longing and desire for the girl's return.
My hands are shaking and my mind is dry
The singer is experiencing physical and mental distress, evident through trembling hands and a clouded mind.
You walked away from me honey and we both know why
The girl left, and both parties are aware of the reason behind her departure.
What you don't know, what you don't see
There are things about the situation that the girl doesn't know or hasn't seen.
That I was made for you and you were made for me
Expresses a belief in predestined compatibility between the singer and the girl.
Can't stop thinking that I let you go
Regret for letting the girl go and feeling like it was a mistake.
Laid it all on the line and nothing to show
The singer risked everything for the relationship but gained nothing in return.
I wanna throw you up, I wanna hear your voice
Desire to reconnect and hear the girl's voice, possibly by calling her.
But when I push the button, my hands start shaking
Anxiety or nervousness when attempting to reach out or make contact.
You've got to save me, baby
Repeated plea for the girl to rescue or save the singer, emphasizing urgency.
You've got to save me, baby
-You've got to save me, baby
-You've got to save me, baby
-You've got to save me, baby
-Oh girl, when you coming back to me
Continued longing and anticipation for the girl's return.
Oh girl, when you coming back to me
-Oh girl, when you coming back to me
-Oh girl, when you coming back to me
-My feet keep slipping as I hit the floor
The singer feels unstable or unsteady, metaphorically represented by slipping feet upon hitting the floor.
And I don't know what it is I'm looking for
A sense of confusion or uncertainty about what the singer is searching for.
Tried to make it fast, you've got to take it slow
Advice to take things slowly, contrasting with an attempt to rush things previously.
And before I knew it you were already gone
The girl left unexpectedly or before the singer realized she was leaving.
My hands are stinky and my mind is dry
Reiteration of physical discomfort, emphasizing distress and confusion.
You walked away from me honey and I don't know why
Reiterating the departure of the girl and the singer's confusion about the reason.
What you don't know, what you don't see
There are undisclosed aspects of the situation that the girl is unaware of.
That I was made for you and you were made for me
Repeated belief in a destined connection between the singer and the girl.
You've got to save me, baby
Repeated urgent plea for the girl to save the singer.
You've got to save me, baby
-You've got to save me, baby
-You've got to save me, baby
-You've got to save me, baby
-You've got to save me, baby
-You've got to save me, baby
-Oh girl, when you coming back to me
Continued anticipation and longing for the girl's return.
Oh girl, when you coming back to me
-Oh girl, when you coming back to me
-Oh girl
Final plea or call out to the girl.
