Lyrics
Saw you in the street
Saw the person in the street
Left me in a state of wondering
Left feeling uncertain or curious about the person's perception of the speaker
If you even notice(d) me
Questioning whether the person noticed the speaker
Acting like a nervous tic
Behaving nervously or erratically
Got you undermined
Feeling underestimated or undervalued
Like a dream to have you on my arm
Expressing the desire to have the person as a partner
But even if you wanted to
Doubting if the person reciprocates the desire
I was gonna need a bit of proof
Needing evidence or confirmation of the person's intentions
There's a space for me
Feeling a sense of belonging or reserved space near the person
On the edge of your seat
Feeling placed in a precarious or uncertain position by the person
Where you wanted me to sit
Reiterating the feeling of being positioned where the person wants
Where you wanted me to sit
-But my will is weak
Struggling with a lack of determination or resolve
And I'm tired of cold feet
Tired of feeling hesitant or unsure (cold feet)
Thought you wanted it to last
Believed the relationship was intended to be enduring
Thought you wanted it to last
-In the golden afternoon
Recalling a pleasant memory or moment
I can hear you in the other room
Hearing the person in a nearby space
Fixing things with sellotape
Fixing things, possibly symbolic of trying to mend the relationship
Bound together by the myths you made
Being bound together by the myths or false beliefs created in the relationship
No-one ever seems
Not seeing the person's true nature or intentions
You're blowing faiths like a stolen beam of the sun
Destroying trust or faith like a stolen beam of sunlight
You know I don't need anyone
Expressing self-sufficiency or independence
I just wanna have a drink or two
Desire for casual interaction without emotional complications
There's a space for me
Reiterating the feeling of being placed where the person wants
On the edge of your seat
-Where you wanted me to sit
-Where you wanted me to sit
-But my will is weak
Continuing to struggle with indecision or lack of resolve
And I'm tired of cold feet
Reiterating the tiredness of feeling hesitant or unsure
Thought you wanted it to last
Reaffirming the belief in the intended longevity of the relationship
Thought you wanted it to last
-There's a space for me
Repeating the feeling of being placed where the person wants
On the edge of your seat
-Where you wanted me to sit
-Where you wanted me to sit
-But my will is weak
-And I'm tired of cold feet
-Thought you wanted it to last
-Thought you wanted it to last
-And the world you live
Describing the convincing nature of the person's world or reality
Is so convincing
Questioning the reaction of the external world to the person's reality
Will the audience laugh?
Wondering about the audience's response to the person's reality or actions
Will the audience wilt?
-Going home next week
Planning to leave or depart soon
And I'm tired of cold feet
Reiterating tiredness of feeling hesitant or unsure
Thought you wanted it to last
Reaffirming the belief in the intended longevity of the relationship
Thought you wanted it to last
