Lyrics
It took a while to notice you wanted me
The speaker took some time to realize that the other person desired them.
Is that a smile? I see dimples in your cheeks
They notice a smile on the other person's face with dimples appearing.
I just guessed it, guessed it
The speaker guessed something, possibly the other person's desire or feelings.
You want love whilst feeling free
The other person wants love but also desires to feel free.
Or you'll get restless, restless
If love restricts their freedom, the other person becomes restless and wants to escape.
Run a million miles from me
The person might distance themselves significantly if feeling confined.
Now I'm freewheeling around you
The speaker feels liberated and carefree in the presence of the other person.
Yes I'm freewheeling like a fool
They feel uninhibited and foolishly carefree in this situation.
You don't know what you want
The other person seems uncertain about their desires.
You don't know what you feel
They're unsure about their own emotions.
Now you're slipping in the dark
Now, the other person is navigating uncertain circumstances.
Blowing out the spark
The spark or connection between them seems to be fading.
In front of me
This fading connection is apparent to the speaker.
Like the Nile, you're flowing down to the sea
Comparing the person's nature to the flowing Nile river, seeking its own path.
Not confided, craving the space to breathe
The person wants independence and space without feeling confined.
I just guessed it, guessed it
The speaker had guessed something earlier (possibly the person's desire for freedom).
Love can't beat being free
The idea that love cannot outweigh the importance of being free.
'Cause you'll get restless, restless
If feeling trapped, the person prefers solitude over discomfort.
Rather be alone in the sheets
They would rather be alone than feeling restricted in a relationship.
Now I'm freewheeling around you
The speaker feels liberated and carefree in the presence of the other person.
Yes I'm freewheeling like a fool
They feel uninhibited and foolishly carefree in this situation.
You don't know what you want
The other person seems uncertain about their desires.
You don't know what you feel
They're unsure about their own emotions.
Now you're slipping in the dark
Now, the other person is navigating uncertain circumstances.
Blowing out the spark
The spark or connection between them seems to be fading.
In front of me
This fading connection is apparent to the speaker.
You don't know what you want
The other person seems uncertain about their desires.
You don't know what you need
They're unsure about their own needs.
Now you're slipping in the dark
Now, the other person is navigating uncertain circumstances.
Blowing out the spark
The spark or connection between them seems to be fading.
In front of me
This fading connection is apparent to the speaker.
