Lyrics
Put me in the spotlight
Desire to be in the center of attention or focus.
Oh, I love the white heat
Expressing affection for intense or passionate situations.
Is it something you need, too?
Questioning if the same need for attention is shared by the other person.
Come and be my person
Invitation for the other person to be close and significant.
You know that I need someone
Acknowledging a personal need for companionship.
But, it doesn't matter who
Emphasizing the interchangeable nature of potential companions.
Oh, I took your best times
Admitting to mishandling or damaging the best moments shared.
Broke them like they were mine
Comparing the value of shared moments to personal possession.
It wasn't what I meant to do
Expressing regret for unintentional actions.
There's something evil in me
Acknowledging a perceived negative aspect within oneself.
A box without a good key
Describing a personal flaw without an apparent solution.
Something that I know you have, too
Suggesting that the other person also possesses a similar flaw.
We have bitten off more than we could chew
Admitting to taking on challenges beyond one's capacity.
Now, we are running out of things we can do
Conveying a sense of being limited in available options or solutions.
You could be my makeup
Expressing a desire for the other person to play a comforting role.
I could be a lift up
Offering reciprocal support and upliftment in the relationship.
I never want to be without you
Stating a strong preference not to be without the other person.
Something waiting in me
Hinting at a latent issue or concern within oneself.
How is it you can't see
Expressing surprise at the other person's apparent lack of awareness.
When it is so clear and so blue?
Describing the clarity of a situation that the other person seems to miss.
We have bitten off more than we could chew
Reiteration of taking on more than one can handle.
We are running out of things we can do
Reiteration of being limited in available solutions.
We have bitten off more than we knew
Realization of underestimating the challenges faced.
Nothing's going to fix it, nothing's going to mend me and you
Declaring a lack of solutions or remedies for the existing problems.
Put me in the spotlight
Repetition of the desire to be in the spotlight.
Oh, I love the white heat
Reiteration of affection for intense or passionate situations.
Is it something you need, too?
Repetition of the question regarding the shared need for attention.
Come and be my person
Repetition of the invitation for the other person to be significant.
You know that I need someone
Reiteration of the personal need for companionship.
But, it doesn't matter who
Reinforcement of the idea that the identity of the companion doesn't matter.
