Lyrics

A million miles beyond the voice of reason

A state of being far removed from logical thinking or rationality.

It´s where I can be found

This place represents the singer's current state or emotional condition.

Got me walking with my head in the clouds

Feeling dreamy or disconnected from reality.

My feet don´t even touch the ground

Feeling so elated or in love that it feels like floating or being weightless.


I don´t know what you´ve done to me, baby,

The singer is unsure of the profound effect the person they're addressing has had on them.

But my resistance is gone

The singer's ability to resist the other person's influence has vanished.

I thought I was strong

Previously thought to be emotionally strong, the singer realizes their vulnerability now.

Baby, I was wrong

Admitting a previous misconception about their emotional strength.


'Cause you call my name and you turn me around

The other person has a profound effect on the singer, altering their direction and perspective.

As my arms reach out and the walls come down

Metaphorically, barriers the singer had are crumbling down in response to the other person.

I surrender

The singer acknowledges their surrender to the influence of the other person.

I´m a fool in a game, I got no way to win

Feeling helpless in a situation where winning is impossible due to emotional investment.

Take control of my heart, I give up, I give in

Letting go of control over emotions and feelings towards the other person.

I surrender, I surrender to you

Reiterating the surrender to the power or influence of the other person.


Heartache shatters loves´ innocence

Pain from previous experiences has destroyed the singer's innocence in love.

My trusting days are through

The singer's trust in love has been shattered and cannot be restored.

My resistance was my best defense

Resisting emotions used to protect the singer but now proved ineffective against the other person.

But I never counted on you

The unexpected impact of the other person on the singer's life.

You got the key to my destiny, babe,

The other person has control over the singer's fate or future.

I´m just a willing slave

The singer feels willingly controlled or influenced by the other person.

I can´t walk away, no, baby, I can´t walk away

The singer feels unable to break free from the influence of the other person.


You just call my name and you turn me around

Repeated influence of the other person causing the singer to change direction.

My arms reach out and the walls come down

Similar imagery of barriers breaking down due to the other person.

I surrender

Reaffirming the surrender to the other person's impact.

Like a fool in a game, I got no way to win

Continuing to feel powerless in a situation where winning is not an option.

Take control of my heart, I give up, I give in

Releasing control over emotions and giving in to feelings for the other person.

I surrender, I surrender

Reiterating the surrender to the influence of the other person.


Here I am trying to hold back the ocean

Metaphorically trying to control overwhelming emotions, which is futile.

Drowning in the sea of desire

Feeling overwhelmed and consumed by intense desires.

I´ve been betrayed by my own emotions

The singer's emotions have led them astray or betrayed their logical thinking.

You and my senses conspire

The other person and the singer's emotions are conspiring against their better judgment.


(You just call my name) call my name (and you turn me around)

Repetition of the surrender to the other person's influence.

I surrender! I´m a fool in a game, I got no way to win

A continuation of feeling helpless in a situation where victory is impossible.

Take control of my heart, I give up, I give in

Continuing to give up control and submit to emotions for the other person.

I surrender, I surrender to you

Reaffirming the surrender to the other person's impact.

I surrender, surrender, surrender to you

Reiteration of the surrender to the other person's influence.


A billion miles beyond the voice of reason

Reiteration of being far removed from logical thinking or rationality.

That´s where I can be found

Reiterating the singer's emotional state or condition.
