Can't Stay Away
Unyielding Temptation: Kiefer Sutherland's Struggle with Forbidden Desires
Lyrics
Walking in the wrong direction
Feeling lost or off course in life.
Know I should be walking home
Aware that the right path is going home.
Smart enough to be alone
Capable of being alone and making smart decisions.
Ain't tough enough to be alone
Not emotionally strong enough to be alone.
I
Beginning of the chorus, expressing inability to stay away.
Can't stay
Reiterating the struggle of not being able to stay away.
Away
-Got me wrapped around your finger
Feeling controlled or influenced by someone.
Pulling strings to play my heart
Manipulated emotionally, with heartstrings being played.
You fill the night with conversation
Engaging in conversations that darken the mood.
That turn the daylight dark
Conversations affecting the emotional state negatively.
I
Repetition of the chorus, emphasizing the inability to stay away.
Can't stay
Continued expression of the struggle to stay away.
Away
-Oh I
Reiteration of the persistent inability to stay away.
Can't stay
-Away
-They go laughing at me
Others mocking or ridiculing the individual.
Watch the wheels fall of track
Witnessing a decline or failure in life.
Did you think I'd let you down
Questioning if the person was expected to fail or disappoint.
Did you think I'd get you baby off my back
Challenging the idea of getting someone off one's mind.
I can feel blood tun through me
Sensing vitality or passion within.
Standing on a mountain high
Experiencing a metaphorical high point in life.
Sent to hell on my devil's wings
Being led astray by one's own vices or temptations.
Couldn't stop her even if I try
Unable to resist someone or something, even with effort.
I
Repeating the chorus, emphasizing the persistent inability to stay away.
Can't stay
-Away
-Oh I
Final reiteration of the ongoing struggle to stay away.
Can't stay
-Away
