Lyrics
Well I go around the world
Travelling extensively
And this is what I do
Describes his profession or purpose
I say love's a hurting thing
Love causes pain
'cause I know it to be true
Personal belief based on experience
When I get up in the spotlight
Being in the center of attention
And my story has begun
Commencement of sharing his experience
I try to explain
Attempts to articulate the impact of lack of love
What lack of love has done
Consequences resulting from absence of love
And though I do it nightly
Repetition of his routine
It never is the same
Consistently experiencing varied situations
For its a never ending story
Continual cycle of negative emotions
Of jealousy and blame
Attributing feelings of envy and accusation
I know what you're saying
Acknowledging understanding of others' opinions
That I'm on the run
Implication of trying to escape
But there's nowhere to run
Feeling trapped by circumstances
From what lack of love has done
Inescapability of the effects of lack of love
I go around the world
Reiteration of his global journey
And this is what I do
Continuation of his purpose or profession
I climb up on a stage
Sharing personal anecdotes on stage
And I tell them about you
Referring to the person or situation he talks about
I try to keep it short
Trying to keep the narrative concise
I don't want it to go on
Desire to limit the storytelling
So you'll sympathize
Hope for empathy after sharing his story
After its been told
Anticipating the reaction after disclosure
Well I hear what you're saying
Recognition of others' opinions
That I'm on the run
Implication of trying to escape
But there's nowhere to run
Feeling trapped by circumstances
From what lack of love has done
Inescapability of the effects of lack of love
No there's nowhere to run
Highlighting the absence of escape
From what lack of love has done
Reiteration of the inescapable consequences
What lack of love has done
Emphasizing the impact of lack of love
What lack of love has done
Repetition, reinforcing the impact
What lack of love has done
