Lyrics
Check it out, Joe
Expressing excitement or encouragement to pay attention.
I'll tell you a secret
Indicating the speaker's intention to reveal confidential information.
If you know where to keep it
Suggesting the importance of keeping the secret in a specific place.
And you promise not to tell
Asking for a promise not to disclose the shared secret.
Got a tale or two
Implying the existence of interesting or scandalous stories.
About a girl that you could have sworn you knew so well
Referring to a girl with whom the listener thought they were familiar.
It was years ago
Indicating that the events being discussed occurred in the past.
Though it sounds like yesterday
Highlighting the lasting impact of the past events.
You came on strong and she gave it all away
Describing a strong approach made by the listener and the girl's response.
He had an angel's face
Portraying a person with an attractive and innocent appearance.
A fighter's grace
Describing the person's physical abilities and demeanor.
And an ace hidden up his sleeve
Suggesting the person has a hidden advantage or secret.
But never mind 'cos love is blind
Stating that love overlooks flaws or shortcomings.
And she needed to believe
Expressing the girl's need to believe in the person's love.
His touch could fill
Emphasizing the person's ability to provide comfort and safety.
He held her safe from harm
Highlighting the protective nature of the person's touch.
If looks could kill
Using a metaphor to convey the intensity of their connection.
She'd have died there in his arms
Imagining a scenario where the girl could have perished in the person's embrace.
Deep in the dark
Referring to a hidden or undisclosed aspect of the relationship.
The thunder in her heart
Describing emotional turmoil or conflict within the girl.
He told her every single lie
Accusing the person of dishonesty by listing multiple lies told.
He swore he'd never told anyone before
Emphasizing the uniqueness of the lies and the girl's previous innocence.
Check it out, Joe
Repeating the call to attention, possibly to emphasize a new development.
Now you wake up in the dead of night
Describing a moment of waking up during the night.
And reach out to touch her hair
Expressing a desire to connect with the absent girl.
But the bed is empty, turn on the light
Realizing the girl's absence and seeking clarity.
And she's not even there
Confirming the girl's physical absence from the bed.
Then a note she wrote
Referring to a written message left by the girl.
You read that thing and weep
Expressing an emotional reaction to the content of the note.
'Cause if you love someone
Reflecting on the depth of love and the associated pain.
And never know what runs so deep
Highlighting the challenge of truly understanding someone.
Deep in the dark
Repeating the earlier description of emotional turmoil.
The thunder in her heart
Reiterating the girl's involvement in deceptive behavior.
She told you every single lie
Stating that the girl confessed to previously unheard lies.
She swore she'd never heard before
Emphasizing the girl's denial of prior knowledge of the lies.
