Lyrics
When she comes around
Anticipation of someone's arrival
Will you get out of bed
Questioning readiness to face the day
Will you bother with
Considering engagement with the person
All of her questions
Wondering about the questions posed by the person
Will your heart skip a beat
Checking emotional response to her presence
All that heaven allows
Reference to limitations or societal norms
Will you stand up straight
Questioning posture when she is present
When she comes around
Repeated anticipation of her arrival
When she comes around
-When she comes around
-Will you electric slide
Suggesting a dance move as a response
Fever dancing Saturday night
Describing lively and passionate dancing
Will she move you like music
Asking if she can evoke emotions like music
Like nobody else
Emphasizing her uniqueness
Playing here comes the sun
Referencing a joyful moment with her
When she comes around
Repeated anticipation of her arrival
When she comes around
-Johnny Carson Johnny Cash
Referencing iconic figures (Carson, Cash, Jackie O, Kennedy)
Jackie O and John F. Kennedy
-Every day I wear that mask
Expressing the act of wearing a metaphorical mask
Like every day was Halloween
Emphasizing the constant disguise (Halloween metaphor)
Every day was Halloween
-I spent the day
Reflecting on time spent in a routine
And the day after that
-Drinking Coca Cola
Describing consumption habits
And eating in bed
-Thinking of ways
Contemplating ways to overcome doubt
I could qualify doubt
-That you come alive
Noticing a change in someone's demeanor
When she comes around
Repeated anticipation of her arrival
When she comes around
-Johnny Carson Johnny Cash
Recalling iconic figures again
Jackie O and John F. Kennedy
-Every day I wear that mask
Reiteration of wearing a metaphorical mask
Like every day was Halloween
Emphasizing the perpetual nature of the disguise
Every day is Halloween
-Some people sometimes
Observing certain behaviors of some individuals
Get themselves off
-Smile at everything
Describing a disposition to smile despite dissatisfaction
Never enough
-Well I buried the hatchet
Taking responsibility for resolving a conflict
I made for myself
-Cuz' it should have been me
Expressing a desire for recognition or attention
Who came around
-Who came around
-Johnny Carson Johnny Cash
Repetition of iconic figures
Jackie O and John F. Kennedy
-Every day I wear that mask
Reiterating the metaphor of wearing a mask
Like every day was Halloween
Emphasizing the persistent nature of the disguise
Every day was Halloween
-Every day was Halloween
-Every day was Halloween
Final repetition of the idea that every day is like Halloween
