Reel Me In
Love's Dance of Deception: Unraveling the Lyrics of Kim Richey's 'Reel Me In'
Lyrics
Tell me what you're gonna do, and I'll believe you once again
Tell me your intentions honestly, and I'll trust you once more
Don't let this be the battle that you're afraid to win
Don't avoid this challenge, face it and succeed
Sit there with your visions, your tonic and your gin
Stay there with your dreams, your alcoholic drink, and contemplate
Tattoo scenes of paradise all over my skin
Metaphorically imprinting beautiful memories all over my being
And I'll take the fall, you take the ride
I'll take the blame, you enjoy the journey
I'll take the hit, you let it slide
I'll suffer the consequences, you ignore or overlook them
Reel me in, reel me in
Draw me closer emotionally
Reel me in, reel me in
Draw me closer emotionally (repeated for emphasis)
I'm still in love, I'm still in fear, there's something in your eyes
I'm still in a mix of love and apprehension, sensing something in your gaze
I don't know why they're so intense when you intend to lie
I can't understand why your eyes are so intense when you plan to deceive
L could say this is the last time, meaning every word
I might claim this is the final instance, genuinely meaning it
Why give into reason when love is so absurd
Why bother with rationality when love itself is irrational
I'll take the fall, you take the ride
I'll take the blame, you enjoy the journey
I'll take the hit, and you let it slide
I'll suffer the consequences, and you disregard them
Reel me in, reel me in
Draw me closer emotionally
Reel me in, reel me in
Draw me closer emotionally (repeated for emphasis)
One, two
Counting in preparation for a transition or change
And I'll take the fall, you take the ride
I'll take the blame, you enjoy the journey
I'll take the hit, and you let it slide
I'll suffer the consequences, and you ignore them
Reel me in, reel me in
Draw me closer emotionally
Reel me in, reel me in
Draw me closer emotionally (repeated for emphasis)
