Lyrics
It's a common story
Expressing that the story is a common one.
That'll have you walking away
Suggesting that the story may lead to someone walking away.
The facts I've keep pretty secret
Implying that the speaker has kept certain facts a secret.
And details hazy
Indicating that the details are unclear or uncertain.
Worried you will see through it
Expressing concern about being exposed or seen through.
I've covered eyes with wool
Suggesting a metaphorical act of avoiding seeing the truth.
Tried giving you reasons
Attempted to provide reasons and warned about future events.
And warned in stages of what's coming
Receiving a response from the other person.
You say
Quoting the response received from the other person.
Famously she roams
Describing a woman who roams and keeps people on their toes.
And keeps us on our toes in some way
Questioning the possibility of leaving a situation with pride.
Do you really think I can walk out of this with pride?
Acknowledging the constant presence of the woman.
No point denying she's always in sight
Expressing a need for time and being questioned repeatedly.
I feel I need some time
Addressing the persistent inquiries and the desire for time.
You keep on asking why
Stating the difficulty in understanding oneself.
Stop messing around cos you don't know
Warning against underestimating or challenging the speaker.
Who you are to take me on
Emphasizing a recurring theme or situation.
Always
Repetition for emphasis, suggesting a continuous struggle.
Always
Highlighting that the situation is not always enjoyable to discuss.
Not always fun to talk about
Expressing the prolonged nature of dealing with the issue.
Takes forever
Acknowledging the emotional difficulty in facing the issue.
And though it pains to mull around
Indicating that certain thoughts are persistent.
The thought's not severed
Conveying a desire to avoid further contact or interaction.
All that remains to say
Stating the speaker's reluctance to receive visits.
Is I don't want you calling round
Expressing the prohibition of moving on from the situation.
Moving on is really not allowed
Rejecting the possibility of easily moving forward.
Maybe someday I will come round
Leaving the door open for a potential reconciliation in the future.
Now she isn't here there is no home now
Reflecting on the absence of someone important.
Don't think it's time to disown now
Advising against disowning or giving up on the situation.
I feel she's next to me frowning at me angrily
Feeling a sense of disapproval or judgment from the absent person.
So no point denying this feels like a test
Acknowledging the situation as a challenging test.
Flailing my arms, so desperately insulted
Expressing frustration and feeling insulted.
Wish I wasn't so close to it all
Expressing a wish to distance oneself from the situation.
And I'm not falling into it
Asserting a refusal to be drawn into the complexity of the issue.
Hopefully you'll stay with me
Expressing hope for continued support or companionship.
Always
Repetition of the desire for ongoing support or companionship.
Always
Reiteration of the emotional difficulty in discussing the issue.
Not always fun to talk about
Reiterating the prolonged nature of dealing with the issue.
Takes forever
Reiterating the emotional difficulty in facing the issue.
And though it pains to mull around
Repeating the idea that certain thoughts are persistent.
The thought's not severed
Reiterating the desire to avoid further contact or interaction.
All that remains to say
Reiterating the speaker's reluctance to receive visits.
Is I don't want you calling round
Repeating the prohibition of moving on from the situation.
Moving on is really not allowed
Reiterating the rejection of the possibility of easily moving forward.
Maybe someday I will come round
Leaving the door open for a potential reconciliation in the future.
