Lyrics
You've got a fire in your belly
You possess a strong passion or determination.
And swollen eyes staring back at me
Your eyes show signs of inflammation and distress.
Still got my car parked in the alley
My car is still parked in the alley, possibly indicating a lingering connection or memory.
In the garage
The car is stored in the garage, a place associated with protection or confinement.
You look much older when you're mad
Your appearance seems more mature or aged when you're angry.
Your heart starts beating like a discotheque
Your heart beats rapidly, akin to the rhythm of a discotheque, under the influence of emotions.
Got no regrets, except I wish you were here with me
No significant regrets except a desire for your presence.
And on my own, I try so hard just to be content
Despite being on my own, I struggle to find contentment.
Got no regrets, except I wish you were here with me
No major regrets except a longing for your company.
And all my friends they agree with me
Consensus among my friends supports my perspective.
And now my eyes they can see clearly
Clarity has been achieved in my perception.
There must be truth to what we're feeling
There is a genuine and truthful basis for the emotions experienced.
It's a mirage
What is felt may be illusory or deceptive.
