Lyrics

Just look how far I've fell

Expressing a realization of a significant decline or setback in life.

Down in the wishing well, you'd forgotten

Reflecting on being ignored or overlooked, likened to being at the bottom of a wishing well.

I spent time in your head

Recalling spending time in the other person's thoughts or mind.

I thought I knew it all

Confidently thinking one knows everything, but realizing the fallibility of that belief.

How the mighty fall to the bottom

Commenting on the inevitability of powerful or influential individuals facing downfall.

You spent time in your bed

Pointing out that the other person spent time in their own emotional space, perhaps in reflection or introspection.


How soon the dawn

Expressing the imminent arrival of a new day or a positive change.

Of love has come

Describing the beginning of love.

And made you run

Suggesting that love has caused the person to run away or avoid commitment.

You've come undone

Noting a sense of unraveling or falling apart due to the impact of love.

I've been feeling it too

Acknowledging personal struggles or challenges related to love.

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

You took the subway down

Was just a silly thought

Referring to a fleeting or impractical idea that was initially dismissed.

Until the day you caught me in action

Describing a moment of being caught in action, suggesting vulnerability or exposure.

You're knowing me less everyday

Of love has come

And made you run
