Lyrics
Don't lose your head, don't lose your head
Encouragement to remain calm and composed
The pain goes away with a wave of my hand
Suggests that pain can be overcome with a simple gesture
Just don't lose your head, don't lose your head
Reiteration of staying composed and not losing control
Fall back to earth when we climb into bed
Returning to reality after intimate moments
Don't lose your head, don't lose your head
Repetition of advice to maintain composure
The pain goes away with a wave of my hand
Emphasizes the transient nature of pain
Just don't lose your head, don't lose your head
Continuation of advising not to lose control
It all goes away, it all goes away in the end
Assurance that everything eventually fades away
Let's fall apart as the record plays
Suggests disintegration while music plays
Lost in the dark with a pretty face
Being lost in darkness with an attractive person
Sometimes a good thing can't be saved
Recognition that some positive things can't be preserved
Hate to see you go but I'm glad you came
Mixed feelings about someone leaving but appreciating their presence
I'll play it cool while you play your games
Adopting a cool attitude while dealing with someone's games
Let's paint the walls with gasoline
Metaphorical suggestion to ignite a fiery situation
Light up a match lying next to me
Imagery of lighting a match near the speaker
Watch as the room goes up in flames
Visualizing the room going up in flames
Up in flames
Repetition of the phrase "Up in flames"
Up in flames
-Up in flames
-Hate to see you go but I'm glad you came
Mixed emotions about someone leaving
On and on and on
Repetition of the theme of going down in flames together but holding on
We go down in flames together
-On and on and on
-We keep holding on forever
-On and on and on
-We go down in flames together
-On and on and on
-We keep holding on forever
-Let's fall apart as the record plays
Reiteration of the earlier scenario of falling apart and igniting a room
Lost in the dark with a pretty face
-Sometimes a good thing can't be saved
-Hate to see you go but I'm glad you came
-I'll play it cool while you play your games
-Let's paint the walls with gasoline
-Light up a match lying next to me
-Watch as the room goes up in flames
-Up in flames
Repetition of the phrase "Up in flames"
Up in flames
-Up in flames
-Hate to see you go but I'm glad you came
Mixed emotions about someone leaving
Don't lose your head, don't lose your head
Reiteration of advice and the transient nature of troubles
The pain goes away with a wave of my hand
-Just don't lose your head, don't lose your head
-It all goes away, it all goes away in the end
-On and on and on
Repetition of the theme of going down in flames together but holding on
We go down in flames together
-On and on and on
-We keep holding on forever
-On and on and on
-We go down in flames together
-On and on and on
-We keep holding on forever
