Seeking a Love That Won't Consume Me
Lyrics
I need a lover that won't drive me crazy
I desire a romantic partner who won't cause me emotional distress.
(I need a lover that won't drive me crazy)
(Repetition for emphasis) I need a lover who won't drive me crazy.
I need a lover that won't drive me crazy
(Repetition for emphasis) I still need a lover who won't drive me crazy.
Some girl that knows the meaning of, ah-
Searching for a girl who understands the importance of...
Hey hit the highway!
Expressing a sense of urgency or decisiveness – hit the highway!
Well I've been walking the streets in the evenin'
Describing walking the streets at night, navigating life's challenges.
Racin' through the human jungle at night
Conveying a fast-paced and unpredictable urban environment.
I'm so confused, my mind is indifferent
Feeling uncertain and mentally disconnected.
Hey - I'm so weak, won't somebody shut off that light?
Expressing vulnerability and a desire for relief from mental strain.
Electricity runs through the video
Reference to the impact of media and technology on life.
And I watch it from this hole I call home
Observing life from a metaphorical "hole" or isolated perspective.
And all them stonies are dancin' to the radio
People dancing joyfully to the radio, contrasting with the narrator's solitude.
And I got the world callin' me up free tonight on the phone
Highlighting a sense of freedom and invitations coming in.
(I need a lover that won't drive me crazy)
Reiterating the need for a lover who brings excitement but leaves.
Some girl who'll thrill me and then go away
Desiring a brief thrill from a girl who won't create long-term chaos.
(I need a lover that won't drive me crazy)
(Repetition for emphasis) I still need a lover who won't drive me crazy.
Some girl that knows the meaning of ah-
Continuing the search for a girl who understands something essential.
Hey hit the highway!
Reiterating the urgent call to leave if not meeting the criteria.
Well I'm not wiped out by this poolroom life I'm livin'
Expressing dissatisfaction with the current lifestyle.
I'm gonna quit this job, and go to school, and head back home
Planning to make significant life changes and return home.
(head back home)
(Repetition for emphasis) Reiterating the intention to head back home.
Now I'm not asking to be loved or be forgiven
Clarifying the absence of a request for love or forgiveness.
Hey - I just can't face shakin' in this bedroom
Expressing a reluctance to endure loneliness in the bedroom.
One more night alone
Emphasizing the struggle of facing another night alone.
(I need a lover that won't drive me crazy)
(Repetition for emphasis) I still need a lover who won't drive me crazy.
