Lyrics
Helplessly hopin', her harlequin hovers nearby
Expressing a sense of helplessness while hoping, describing someone's anticipation with a hovering presence.
Awaitin' the word
Awaiting a significant word or message.
Gaspin' at glimpses of gentle true spirit
Gasping at fleeting moments of a gentle and true spirit.
He runs, wishin' he could fly, I
A person runs, longing to fly, but stumbles upon hearing a farewell.
Only to trip at the sound of goodbye
The person stumbles or falters upon hearing the sound of goodbye.
Wordlessly watchin'
Observing silently without words.
He waits by the window
Waiting by the window.
And wonders
Wondering about the emptiness within.
At the empty place inside
Reflection on the void within oneself.
Heartlessly helpin' himself to her bad dreams
Acting heartlessly, causing distress by dwelling on troubling dreams.
He worries
Expressing concern and anxiety.
Did he hear a goodbye?
Questioning if a goodbye was heard.
Or even, "Hello"?
Wondering about a simple greeting like "Hello."
They are one person
Emphasizing unity as one person, yet acknowledging individuality.
They are two alone
Describing the two individuals as being alone.
They are three together
Highlighting a sense of togetherness involving a third element.
They are for each other
Expressing a mutual connection and purpose between the two individuals.
Stand by the stairway, you'll see somethin' certain
Suggesting that standing by the stairway reveals a certain truth or revelation.
To tell you, "Confusion has its cost"
Implying that confusion has consequences.
Love isn't lyin', it's loose in a lady who lingers
Defining love as truthful, present in a woman who lingers and appears lost.
Sayin' she is lost
Expressing the woman's state of being lost.
And choking on, "Hello"
Choking on the word "Hello," indicating difficulty in communication.
They are one person
Reiterating the unity of the two individuals.
They are two alone
Emphasizing the aloneness of the two individuals.
They are three together
Highlighting the unity involving a third element.
They are for each other
Reaffirming the mutual connection and purpose between the two individuals.
