Lyrics
We move like cagey tigers
We move with caution and cleverness like tigers in captivity
We couldn't get closer than this
We couldn't get any closer in our relationship
The way we love cats
Describing their love in a feline manner, suggesting independence and mystery
The way we talk
Describing their communication style in the relationship
The way we stalk
Describing their subtle and secretive movements towards each other
The way we kiss
Describing the manner in which they express affection
We slip through the streets
Moving unnoticed through the streets while others are asleep
While everyone sleeps
Emphasizing their growing and improving status
Getting bigger and sleeker
Continuing to become sleeker, bigger, wider, and brighter
And wider and brighter
Highlighting their physical and metaphorical expansion
We bite and scratch and scream all night
Describing intense and passionate behavior throughout the night
Let's go and
Transitioning to the next part of the narrative
Throw all the songs we know
Suggesting discarding conventional songs for something new
Into the sea
Symbolizing unity by throwing everything into the sea
You and me
Emphasizing the connection between "you and me"
All these years and no one heard
Reflecting on the unnoticed passage of time
I'll show you in spring
Promising to reveal something in spring, possibly a metaphor for renewal
It's a treacherous thing
Describing spring as treacherous, hinting at unpredictability
"We missed you," hissed The Lovecats
Quoting "The Lovecats" expressing their longing or hissing at missing someone
We're so wonderfully, wonderfully,
Repeating "wonderfully pretty" to emphasize their fantastic state
Wonderfully, wonderfully, pretty
Further emphasizing their wonderful state
Oh you know that I'd do anything for you
Expressing willingness to do anything for the other person
We should have each other to tea huh?
Suggesting having a casual meal together
We should have each other with cream
Adding cream to the tea for a richer experience
Then curl up by the fire
Imagining a cozy scene by the fire
And sleep for awhile
Suggesting a period of rest and relaxation
It's the grooviest thing
Describing their relationship as the grooviest thing
It's the perfect dream
Referring to their relationship as the perfect dream
Hand in hand
Emphasizing the importance of being together
Is the only way to land
Stating that being together is the only right way
And always the right way round
Ensuring completeness and unity in their relationship
Not broken in pieces
Contrasting with being broken, emphasizing their unity
Like hated little meeces
Using wordplay with "meeces" to suggest small and disliked things
How could we miss
Rhetorical question about missing someone so seemingly unremarkable
Someone as dumb as this?
Expressing surprise at missing someone perceived as dumb
I love you
Declaring love for the other person
Let's go
Continuing the narrative, suggesting taking action or leaving
Oh
(No specific meaning, possibly an exclamation or emphasis)
Solid gone
Describing someone as completely gone or lost
How could we miss someone as dumb as this?
Reiterating the surprise at missing someone perceived as dumb
