Lyrics
In the front row at the Melt Show
Falling in love in the front row at the Melt Show.
I fell in love with you and that was three weeks ago
Expressing that the love started three weeks ago.
We fooled around, you let me have it for free
Referring to a physical relationship where things happened freely.
Yeah, it worked out, out real nice
Recalling a positive experience and mutual satisfaction.
I showed you how to and you showed me paradise
Sharing experiences and finding joy together.
Now you're killing time and it's killing me
Current situation of boredom or monotony, causing distress.
Oh, and is this more than some old summer fling?
Questioning if the relationship is more than a summer fling.
Oh, this thing we have, will it mean anything?
Doubting the significance of the current relationship.
Oh, when October rolls around, will you sober up and let me down?
Concern about a potential disappointment in October.
Will you sober up and let me?
Repetition of the fear of being let down in the future.
Out in schoolyard, out the back door
Recalling past experiences in a schoolyard and a change in perspective.
I used to love it but I don't believe in school no more
Expressing disillusionment with the educational system.
You don't learn anything, you're just waitin' around
Highlighting the lack of learning and waiting in school.
With your big brains and your know how
Critiquing intelligence and knowledge without a clear purpose.
If there's was a reason you'd have figured it out by now
Questioning the absence of a reason despite intelligence.
A little gettin' some's good, while you're waitin' around
Emphasizing the value of enjoying the present moment.
Oh, is this more than some old summer fling?
Repeating the uncertainty about the nature of the relationship.
This thing we have, will it mean anything?
Reiterating the doubt regarding the relationship's meaning.
Oh, when October rolls around, will you sober up and let me down?
Expressing concern about a potential letdown in October.
Will you sober up and let me?
Repetition of the fear of being let down in the future.
Now, my bad dream is my best friend
Describing a recurring negative dream as a constant companion.
You were here last night but now you're gone again
Noticing the absence of a loved one after a positive encounter.
I'm getting tired of you getting tired of me
Frustration with the recurring pattern of the loved one's detachment.
Oh, is this more than some old summer fling?
Repetition of the question about the relationship's significance.
This thing we have, will it mean anything?
Reiterating the doubt regarding the relationship's meaning.
Oh, when October rolls around, will you sober up and let me down?
Expressing concern about a potential letdown in October.
Will you sober up and let me down?
Repetition of the fear of being let down in the future.
Will you sober up and let me?
Repeating the fear of being let down, emphasizing sobriety.
