Lyrics
Life must be so wonderful, living here on your own,
Expressing admiration for someone who lives alone.
Please call
Requesting a call or visit.
Around to see.
Emphasizing the importance of the visit.
And maybe I've been loving you for too long,
Suggesting a prolonged love that might be problematic.
And now blind,
Indicating blindness or ignorance to a situation.
I watch you bleed.
Observing emotional pain or suffering.
You rot in your bedroom, you cry on the phone.
Describing a person's isolation and despair.
Well I'm sorry
Expressing regret for not being able to help.
But he's not at home.
Informing that the person sought is unavailable.
You give me your secrets, you give me your heart
Acknowledging the sharing of secrets and emotions.
And I smile whilst you fall apart.
Smiling ironically at the person's emotional breakdown.
Oh no,
Expressing dismay or objection.
Please not now,
Insisting on the urgency of the situation.
Can't you see there's no time?
Stating that there is no time for certain actions.
No, I haven't the time.
Reiterating the lack of time.
Can't you see there's no time?
Emphasizing the urgency of the situation.
Oh-oh,
Repetition for emphasis or emotional intensity.
Oh-oh-oh-oh,
-Oh-oh,
-Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
-Now all our dreams melt
Describing the fading of dreams and visions over time.
In the sun,
-And visions
-Dwindle
-One by one by one.
-Perhaps you should move somewhere
Suggesting a need for relocation for better understanding.
Far away,
-To another town
-Where maybe they
-Could see things in your way.
-It shouldn't be like this, it shouldn't be hard.
Expressing dissatisfaction with the current state of affairs.
I smile whilst you fall apart.
Repeating the ironic smile amid someone's emotional breakdown.
You're sorry, you're sorry, is all that you say.
Acknowledging apologies without resolution.
Well,
Expressing a desire to stop the negative situation.
I'd stop it, but I can't find a way.
Admitting difficulty in finding a solution.
Your life must be so wonderful,
Reiterating the assumption of someone's wonderful life.
Your visions die and fall.
Noting the demise of dreams.
And in the end,
Conveying the perpetuity of existence despite hardships.
Nothing ends,
Highlighting the persistence of existence.
Just grows fainter
Describing the gradual fading and distancing of experiences.
And farther
-Away.
Concluding with a sense of increasing separation.
