Lyrics
You are not so wild eyed anymore
You've lost the intensity or excitement you once had in your eyes.
You have settled down
You've become more settled and less restless.
You're not dreaming much these days
You're not imagining or dreaming as much as before.
I don't know what made you want to look me up
Uncertain why you sought me out when you previously caused me pain.
When you messed me up
When you disrupted my life or emotions.
You know this game you're playing
You're aware of the game you're playing, possibly referencing manipulation.
Faithful and obeying too
Seemingly faithful and obedient, yet it's not your true nature.
Doesn't wear with you
Acting in this manner doesn't suit your character in the long run.
But some things that you do
Actions you take might have a calming or reassuring effect.
Could soothe the view.
Those actions might make the situation more comfortable or tolerable.
Whatever happened to your wild eyes
Reflecting on how your passionate or intense gaze has changed.
Big surprise
This change in your demeanor is surprising.
Your telephone friends
Your connections through phone calls and the unknown allure you once had.
And the mystery prize
The mysterious attractiveness or appeal you used to possess.
(what has happened to you)
Questioning the transformation that has occurred in you.
Whatever happened to you
Curiosity about the change you've undergone.
And your wild eyes.
Repeated emphasis on the loss of your intense, passionate gaze.
You are not so wild eyed anymore
Reiteration of the diminished intensity in your eyes.
You have leveled down
Emphasis on how you've become less intense or passionate.
You're not shining much these days
You're not as radiant or remarkable as before.
What made you decide to want to look me up
Pondering why you chose to reconnect despite the past hurt.
When you messed me up
When your actions caused distress in my life or emotions.
You know this game you've been playing
Acknowledgment of the manipulation or strategy you've been employing.
Faithful and obeying too
Appearing faithful and compliant, contrary to your nature.
Doesn't wear with you
This behavior doesn't align with your true self in the long term.
But some things that you do
Your actions might provide a sense of reassurance or comfort.
Could soothe the view.
Actions that could make the situation more bearable or calming.
Whatever happened to your wild eyes
A continued reflection on the loss of your passionate gaze.
Big surprise
The change in your intensity is surprising.
Your telephone friends
Reference to your connections through calls and the allure that's changed.
And the mystery prize
The enigmatic appeal or attraction you once held.
(what has happened to you)
Questioning the transformation that occurred within you.
Whatever happened to you
Curiosity about the change you've undergone.
And your wild eyes.
Reiteration of the loss of your intense, passionate gaze.
