Medusa
Love's Petrifying Power
Lyrics
It's just been one of those days
Expressing a challenging or difficult day
Top-shelf booze and cheap cologne
High-quality alcohol and inexpensive fragrance
Turn 'round and I'm locked in your gaze
Caught in someone's intense stare
And you turn me into stone
Feeling paralyzed or captivated by the person
Love at first sight seems like a fool's game
Skepticism about love at first sight
So I guess I'm the fool tonight
Acceptance of being a fool for love
If you want me like I want you, babe
Expressing desire for mutual attraction
Let me step right into your light
Willingness to step into the spotlight for love
Doctor told me that I'm looking so lovesick
Doctor's observation of lovesickness
But he don't know it's you I need
Acknowledging the specific person needed for fulfillment
Now I'm thinking through these scenes of late at night
Reflecting on night thoughts and desire
Gotta get you next to me
Determination to be close to the person
Seeing you and thinking maybe I might
Contemplation of taking a chance
And now I'm understanding love at first sight
Realization of love at first sight
I didn't know that I could want you this much
Unexpected depth of desire
And that's a shame because you're too hot to touch
Frustration at the inability to physically connect
My intentions are written in black pen
Expressing intentions through written words
And that's my name on the signature line
Claiming ownership and commitment
But it takes two for the matter to happen
Emphasizing the importance of mutual participation
And you don't love on another man's time
Highlighting the need for genuine emotions
Tell me, what am I to you lately
Seeking clarification about the relationship
Elevator kind of love
Describing a relationship with ups and downs
'Cause you're just bringing me up, bringing me down, coming around, but only when I call you
Describing the person's inconsistent presence
Please, let's get this loving off the ground, yeah
Expressing a desire to move the relationship forward
Mama told me that I was so foolish
Mother's warning about being foolish in love
Said don't you ever fall in deep
Acknowledging the influence of negative thoughts
Now I've got this devil on my shoulder taking over
The struggle with inner conflicts and temptation
And he's got me on my knees
Submission to the tempting influence
Seeing you and thinking maybe I might
Revisiting the possibility of taking a chance in love
And now I'm understanding love at first sight
Confirmation and understanding of love at first sight
I didn't know that I could want you this much
Reiteration of intense desire
And that's a shame because you're too hot to touch
Frustration at the inability to physically connect, reiterated
Seeing you and thinking maybe I might
Revisiting the possibility of taking a chance in love, reiterated
And now I'm understanding love at first sight
Confirmation and understanding of love at first sight, reiterated
I didn't know that I could want you this much
Reiteration of intense desire, reiterated
And that's a shame because you're too hot to touch
Frustration at the inability to physically connect, reiterated
Seeing you and thinking maybe I might
Revisiting the possibility of taking a chance in love, reiterated
And now I'm understanding love at first sight
Confirmation and understanding of love at first sight, reiterated
I didn't know that I could want you this much
Reiteration of intense desire, reiterated
And that's a shame because you're too hot to touch
Frustration at the inability to physically connect, reiterated
