This Movie's Way Too Long
Eternal Nights and Lonely Faces
Lyrics
Woke around the kitchen at midnight
Feeling disoriented and restless while awake in the kitchen at midnight
Tryin'a get the message through
Attempting to communicate a message
Wondering why I'm feeling so uptight
Questioning the reason for heightened tension or anxiety
I can blame it on you, yeah
Attributing the uptight feeling to someone else, likely a romantic partner
Fly out to London baby, got a little number to do
Planning to travel to London for a commitment or engagement
Come Monday I'll be feeling alright
Anticipating feeling better on Monday and a fresh start
Then we can start anew
Expressing the desire for a new beginning
The look in your eyes at the end of the night
Noticing a certain expression in the partner's eyes at the end of the night
Telling me not to go, it's both of our fault
Being advised not to leave, acknowledging shared responsibility
This movie's way too long
Commenting on the excessive length of a metaphorical "movie" or situation
This movie's way too long
Reiterating the sentiment that the current situation is prolonged
Only if you would listen to me
Expressing a wish for the partner to listen
Only I could show some respect
Reflecting on the need for mutual respect in the relationship
Come a little closer and woo me
Inviting the partner to come closer and win affection
I would get out of this mess
Believing that intimacy can help resolve the current mess
I'll fly out to Huston, baby
Planning to travel to Houston for another commitment or engagement
Play a little number or two
Intending to perform a musical piece or song in Houston
Come Monday I'll be feeling alright
Expecting to feel better by Monday after the Houston trip
I get that call in to you, yeah
Anticipating a call after the Houston trip
The look in your eyes at the end of the night
Observing a certain expression in the partner's eyes again
Telling me not to go, it's both of our fault
Being told not to leave, acknowledging shared fault once more
This movie's way too long
Reiterating the extended and challenging nature of the situation
This movie's way too long
Emphasizing again that the metaphorical "movie" is excessively long
This movie's way too long
Repeating the notion that the situation is prolonged and challenging
Faces, people are lonely
Commenting on the loneliness of people's faces
I miss you, feelings I see through
Expressing a longing for someone and the ability to see through feelings
Gone too long, I'll be back by your side
Acknowledging a prolonged absence but promising to return
This movie's way too long
Reiterating the idea that the situation or relationship is excessively long
