Lyrics
Once upon a time in deja-vu land
Reflecting on a past experience in a familiar yet surreal setting
I kissed you on the lips and sent you away
Expressing a goodbye with a kiss and separation
Then I fell into the hole inside my heart
Facing emotional turmoil and emptiness
Now you're back and everything is lovely
Reunion and feeling content now that the person is back
Our finest hour like eternity
Highlighting a perfect moment that seems endless
But there's just one more thing I got to show you, baby
Hinting at something important left to reveal or share
The leaves have fallen, it's the winter
Describing a season of barrenness and cold
The thaw of springtime is a long way off
Anticipating a distant time of renewal
I'll keep you happy in the meantime
Commitment to maintaining happiness in the interim
Come to the love lounge, I'll be right along, yeah
Inviting the person to a place of love and intimacy
Shoot that
Encouragement to confront and overcome fear
fear!
Shoot that
Reiteration of facing and conquering fear
fear!
Through the smoke I see her comin' near me
Sensing someone's approach through obstacles
Through the haze I see the hourglass
Seeing time slipping away, possibly feeling mesmerized
Hypnotized or mystified now I don't know
Confusion or fascination with the situation
So be gentle with my tender soul, babe
Requesting tenderness due to emotional vulnerability
Unless you wanna send me reelin' again
Fear of being emotionally overwhelmed again
Hey maybe we should find a quiet place instead?
Suggesting a change of setting for intimacy
Yeah
The leaves have fallen, it's the winter
Reiteration of the seasonal metaphor
The thaw of springtime is a long way off
I'll keep you happy in the meantime
Commitment to maintaining happiness in the interim
Come to the love lounge, I'll be right along, yeah
Invitation to the love lounge, suggesting readiness to connect
Shoot that
fear!
Encouragement to confront and overcome fear
Shoot that
fear!
-The leaves have fallen, it's the winter

Invitation to the love lounge, suggesting readiness to connect

Encouragement to confront and overcome fear
Shoot that
