Lyrics
I haven't been myself of late
Feeling out of character or not like myself recently.
I haven't slept for several days but
Experiencing insomnia, having trouble sleeping for several days.
Coming home I feel like I
Upon returning home, a sense of familiarity and connection.
Designed these buildings I walk by
Feeling a personal connection to the architecture around, as if having designed the buildings.
You know you drive me up the wall
Expressing frustration or irritation with someone who is causing stress.
I need to see your face that's all
Expressing a strong desire to see the face of a loved one.
You little sod I love your eyes
Playfully addressing a loved one with affection, referring to their eyes.
Be everything to me tonight
Expressing the importance of the person being everything on that particular night.
The streets are full of Goths and Greeks
Observation of diverse people in the streets, possibly indicating a busy or varied urban environment.
I haven't seen my mum for weeks but
Not having seen one's mother for an extended period.
Coming home I feel like I
Similar to Line 3, a sense of connection to home upon returning.
Designed these buildings I walk by
Reiteration of feeling a personal connection to the buildings, possibly emphasizing the impact of the surroundings.
You know you drive me up the wall
Repetition of frustration or irritation with the same person.
I need to see your face that's all
Reiteration of the strong desire to see the face of the loved one.
You little sod I love your eyes
Repetition of playfully addressing the loved one with affection, referring to their eyes.
Be everything to me tonight
Repetition of the importance of the person being everything on that particular night.
I never know what I want but I know when
Expressing uncertainty about personal desires but recognizing the need to be in a familiar place when feeling low.
I'm low that I need to be in the town
Acknowledging the need to be in the town where people understand and accept one's personality.
Where they know what I'm like and don't mind
Highlighting the importance of being in a place where people are familiar with and accepting of one's character.
