Lyrics
I try to keep your name
I strive to preserve your reputation
And still get rid of your face
While trying to forget your image
I hate to be by myself
I dislike being alone
All locked away in this place
Feeling confined in this place
You turn me inside out
You emotionally unsettle me
You turn me outside in
You reverse my emotions
Around and upside down
Creating chaos and confusion
A rollercoaster within
A metaphor for emotional turmoil
Pay the price of love
Endure the consequences of love
When he calls for you
When love beckons for you
You've got to
Implicit instruction to respond
Pay the price of love
Face the consequences of love
When he calls for you
When love demands your attention
I grab my big black book
Retrieve my contact list
And call the numbers I know
And dial familiar numbers
Something is melting this town
Suggesting something transformative
Like it was all made of snow
Impact on the town like melting snow
You turn me inside out
You continue to affect me deeply
You turn me outside in
A repetitive influence on me
Around and up and down
Creating a whirlwind of emotions
The elevator within
An internal upheaval like an elevator
Pay the price of love (ooh la la la)
Face the consequences of love (expression of emotion)
When he calls for you
When love beckons for you
You've got to
Implicit instruction to respond
Pay the price of love (ooh la la la)
Face the consequences of love (expression of emotion)
When he calls for you
When love demands your attention
Spending the evening alone
Spending time alone in the evening
With the 10 o'clock news
Watching the 10 o'clock news
Looking at you through the holes
Observing you through worn-out shoes
In the soles of my old brown shoes
A metaphorical perspective on longing or nostalgia
