Lyrics
Well, I like you, I couldn't think of anything but you
Expressing admiration and affection towards someone, focusing thoughts on that person.
For a week I was in love with your hairdo
Indicating a period of infatuation with a specific aspect of the person, in this case, their hairstyle.
I couldn't chew those muffins I used to
Highlighting a state of emotional distraction, possibly due to the intensity of feelings.
I knew I was way over the moon
Acknowledging being extremely happy or excited, metaphorically "over the moon."
When I met you, when I met you, I didn't know what to do.
Recalling the initial encounter with the person, feeling unsure or overwhelmed.
When I saw you, when I saw you you said:
Describing a moment of uncertainty when the person was seen or encountered.
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Repeating the notion of being confined or limited ("living/dying in a box") but being ready to seize opportunities ("out when opportunity nox/rox on").
I'm living in a box but I'm out when opportunity nox...
-Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
-I'm living in a box but I'm out when opportunity nox...
-Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
-I'm dying in a box but I'm out when opportunity rox on
-I'm sleeping and I'm dreaming so solo
Imagining a state of being alone and dreaming.
I saw you in the crowd in the front row
Recalling seeing the person in a crowd, possibly during a performance or event.
You couldn't get it right in the disco
Suggesting the person's imperfections or mistakes, particularly in a disco/dance setting.
You're dancing so much better in slo-mo
Contrasting the person's dance style, praising their slow-motion movements.
When I met you, when I met you, I didn't know what to do.
Reiterating the uncertainty and confusion experienced during the initial meeting.
When I saw you, yeah, when I saw you, I said:
Reflecting on the reaction upon seeing the person again.
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Repeating the theme of being confined but ready to act when opportunities arise, with a play on words ("nox/rox on").
I'm living in a box but I'm out when opportunity nox...
-Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
-I'm living in a box but I'm out when opportunity nox...
-Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
-I'm dying in a box but I'm out when opportunity rox on
