Lyrics
Sometimes I don't feel a thing
Sometimes the speaker experiences emotional numbness.
Sometimes I feel it all
At times, the speaker feels a wide range of emotions intensely.
I mostly feel everything
The speaker generally feels a heightened awareness of everything.
Into the fire, into the flames
Reference to facing challenges or difficulties.
Into this burning heart of mine
Describes a passionate and intense emotional state.
You found nothing to ignite
Someone failed to ignite a spark in the speaker.
But you found the burn and you found the gleam
The person found the impact of the speaker's intensity.
You found your life in kerosene
Refers to finding purpose or meaning in intense experiences.
You sang this little light of mine
Reference to a positive aspect of the speaker's life.
But you found little left to shine
Despite the positivity, there's little remaining to shine.
If you want it, you should take it
Encouragement to seize opportunities.
We'll call it a phase
Suggesting that intense experiences are temporary phases.
If you find that you're mistaken come one back here baby
If wrong choices are made, there's a chance for correction.
Save my place
A plea to preserve the speaker's place or role.
Save my place
Reiteration of the plea to save the speaker's place.
Before I set this trail a blaze
Warning about potential consequences if not heeded.
I can be so cruel and I can be so mean, baby
Acknowledgment of the speaker's capacity for cruelty.
I can let off a little steam
Ability to release built-up tension or frustration.
But you could be so bright
Recognizing the positive qualities of the listener.
And you can be so smart, my lady
Acknowledgment of the listener's intelligence.
But I'd still tear this thing a part
Despite positive qualities, the relationship is strained.
With little pieces for you to find
Breaking down the relationship into fragments for scrutiny.
If you want it, you should take it
Reiteration of the encouragement to seize opportunities.
We'll call it a phase
Reinforcing the temporary nature of intense experiences.
If you find that you're mistaken come on back here baby
Encouragement to return after realizing mistakes.
Save my place
Repetition of the plea to save the speaker's place.
Save my place
Reiteration of the plea to save the speaker's place.
(Lord those were the days)
Nostalgic reference to the past.
If you want it, you should take it
Reiteration of the encouragement to seize opportunities.
We'll call it a phase
Reinforcing the temporary nature of intense experiences.
If you find that you're mistaken come on back here baby
Encouragement to return after realizing mistakes.
Save my place
Repetition of the plea to save the speaker's place.
Save my place
Reiteration of the plea to save the speaker's place.
Before I set this trail a blaze
Warning about potential consequences if not heeded.
Sometimes I don't feel a thing
Sometimes the speaker experiences emotional numbness.
Sometimes I feel it all
At times, the speaker feels a wide range of emotions intensely.
I mostly feel everything
The speaker generally feels a heightened awareness of everything.
