Deep Down
Unveiling Hidden Affections: Jamie Lenman's "Deep Down
Lyrics
Oh yeah the boys in the back put you top of the list
The boys in the back prioritize you because of your attractive appearance.
because you got that look like you never been kissed.
Observation that you have a look suggesting lack of romantic experience.
Yeah, you could take em all out with a flick of your wrist.
You possess the ability to handle challenges effortlessly.
You are a liar and a thief I'm an opportunist
Acknowledging dishonesty and thievery, contrasting with the speaker's opportunistic nature.
I come around to your house cos I couldn't resist.
The speaker visits your house because of irresistible attraction.
I leave a note on your door so you know what you missed
Leaving a note to highlight what you've missed by not being there.
Yeah, it's ironic my heart is the size of a fist,
The irony in the speaker's tough exterior despite having a vulnerable heart.
Cos I gotta hit you where it hurts so you know I exist
The speaker aims to hurt emotionally to make their presence felt.
And if you weren't so irresponsible
If you were more responsible, the speaker could entertain the idea of loving you.
I could love you, but as it is
The current situation prevents the speaker from expressing love.
I gotta play things down so they never suspect.
The speaker downplays emotions to avoid suspicion from others.
I wear the soft-soled shoes so they cannot detect.
Choosing discreet actions to avoid detection by others.
I write a letter in code cos I can' be direct,
Using coded language in a letter to avoid direct communication.
And if you ever write back I will come and collect
The speaker will collect a response, indicating a desire for reciprocation.
My undercover lover, I want to know what you feel
Expressing a desire to understand your true feelings beneath the surface.
deep down
Reiterating the desire to know your true feelings, emphasizing depth.
And if you weren't so condescending
If you were less condescending, the speaker could consider love.
I could love you, but as it is
The current attitude prevents the speaker from entertaining love.
My undercover lover, I don't care what anyone else says.
Despite others' opinions, the speaker values the undercover relationship.
One hand washes the other. I look for signs and secrets.
Reciprocal nature in the relationship, with the speaker searching for signs.
And if you don't know what to think of this, I forgive you.
A declaration that the speaker forgives any uncertainty on your part.
But I think you really do, deep down.
The belief that you truly understand the situation beneath the surface.
