Lyrics
Tonight I'm gonna break away
Tonight I'm planning to break away from something.
Just to wait and see
Anticipating what will happen.
I've never been imprisoned by
Expressing freedom from being trapped in a distant memory.
A faded memory
Emphasizing the distant and faded nature of the memory.
Just when I think I'm over her
Despite thinking that the singer has moved on from a past lover.
This broken heart will mend
The heart heals, but not completely.
I hear her name and I have to cry
Hearing the ex-lover's name triggers emotional pain.
The tears come down again
Tears resurface as a reaction to the emotional trigger.
It happens all the time
Repetition of the recurring situation.
This crazy love of mine
The singer characterizes their love as "crazy."
Wraps around my heart
The love tightly binds the singer's heart.
Refusing to unwind
Emphasizing the difficulty of letting go.
Ooh-ooh, crazy love, ah
An expression of the intensity of the "crazy love."
Count the stars in the summer sky
Using stars as a metaphor for things falling apart silently.
That fall without a sound
Things falling apart without making a sound.
And then pretend that you can't hear
Pretending not to notice the emotional breakdown.
These teardrops coming down
Tears are compared to raindrops.
It happens all the time
Reiteration of the recurring and persistent nature of the love.
This crazy love of mine
Reaffirming the singer's possessive attachment to the love.
Wrapped around my heart
The love remains tightly wrapped around the singer's heart.
Refusing to unwind
Continued resistance to letting go.
Ooh-ooh, crazy love, ah
Repetition of the intense and "crazy" nature of the love.
Tonight I'm gonna break away
Reiteration of the desire to break away.
Just to wait and see
Anticipating the outcome of breaking away.
I've never been imprisoned by
Emphasizing freedom from a distant memory.
A faded memory
Reiteration of the faded nature of the past memory.
It happens all the time
Repetition of the recurrent, challenging love situation.
This crazy love of mine
Characterizing the love as "crazy."
Wraps around my heart
The love tightly envelops the singer's heart.
Refusing to unwind
Continued resistance to letting go of the intense love.
Ooh-ooh, crazy love, ah
Expressing the persistent and intense nature of the love.
Tonight I'm gonna break away
Reaffirmation of the desire to break away from something.
