Paula Blue: A Desperate Man's Melodic Longing
Lyrics
I want to want you Paula blue
I desire to have feelings for you, Paula, who seems melancholic or sad (symbolized by "blue").
I got this urge to be with you
I feel a strong compulsion or desire to be in your company.
Every time I see you smile my heart starts beating out of style
Your smile has a profound effect on me, causing my heart to beat irregularly.
Beating on this old guitar and wondering where you are tonight Paula blue
While playing my guitar, I contemplate your whereabouts, feeling a sense of yearning for you, Paula.
Well ever since the night we met your eyes have made my insides sweat
Since our initial meeting, your gaze has had a powerful impact, making me feel nervous or excited.
Your body like the perfect song inviting me to sing along
Your body is like a perfect song, enticing me to join in. I hide my emotions under a hat, pondering where you might be.
Hiding underneath this hat and wondering where you're at tonight Paula blue
Continuing the theme of longing for Paula while expressing emotions through music.
Well you're like lightening to a dying fire
You bring vitality to my fading passion, like lightning reviving a dying fire.
You're a fuse box to this wandering wire
You are essential to my existence, like a fuse box to a wandering wire (metaphor for instability).
You're the best thing that I've seen in years
You, Paula, are the best thing I have experienced in years.
You brought new moisture to these dust bowl fears
You have alleviated my fears and brought new life to my stagnant existence.
You're getting underneath my skin
You are deeply affecting me, reaching beneath my surface.
Hey what kind of mood are you in tonight Paula blue

I'm just another lonely and desperate man
Admitting to loneliness and desperation, possibly due to a difficult situation (crossfire).
Who got caught in the crossfire when the shit hit the fan
A metaphorical reference to being caught in a chaotic situation when things went wrong.
You gave me a look that could've started world peace
Your look had a profound impact, capable of initiating positive global change (world peace).
I got this feeling for you I can't get no release
Expressing an intense, unreleased emotion towards Paula.
Well I keep thinking bout you Paula blue no matter what I say or do
Continued contemplation about Paula, unable to stop thinking about her.
Imagine you inside my arms setting off the fire alarms
Imagining an intimate moment with Paula, creating excitement or passion.
No I can't stop thinking about you

Oh what the hell am I supposed to do tonight Paula blue
