She's gonna get to my head

And I'm a fool
Acknowledging one's own foolishness.
When I try to be cool so I can get to your head
Attempting to be cool to capture the attention of the person.
And I died when she kissed me on the neck and she let me inside
Recalling a moment of intimacy with the person.
And I know and I know and I know I'm intoxicated
Expressing awareness of being intoxicated, possibly emotionally or mentally.
With that look in your eyes
Being captivated by a specific look in the person's eyes.
I'm falling over

Tripping over you
Experiencing a sense of stumbling or difficulty in dealing with the person.
Make me wanna holler

I'm burning up just like a fever

Burning up hotter and hotter

I think I'm gonna break
Feeling on the brink of breaking emotionally or mentally.
Cuz you're 13 blocks away and I can't see straight
Highlighting a physical distance from the person and the resulting confusion.
Never mind the weather outside I'll wait in the pouring rain
Willing to endure challenging conditions to be with the person.
Like a dog in the night, I'll wait outside for you
Using metaphorical language to convey a strong desire and determination.
When you press right into me I'll press into you
