Lyrics
Word travels fast when it comes to the past
Information spreads quickly, especially concerning the past
Yeah you heard about me
Awareness of the speaker's reputation is widespread
A reputation to believe
A reputation that others find credible
How I drank the seven seas
Metaphorical reference to overcoming challenges or experiences
How I tamed every beast
Conquering various difficulties or challenges
Yeah you heard about me
Reiteration of the speaker's reputation being known
I can bring you to your knees
The speaker has the ability to bring others to submission or vulnerability
We both know it's mutual
Both parties are aware of a shared understanding or feeling
We both know it's mutual
Repetition of the acknowledgment of mutual understanding
Tell me what you like and I'll keep you up all night
Expression of willingness to fulfill the other's desires for a night
31 years and we finally got it right
After 31 years, achieving a harmonious connection
Tell me what you like because
Encouragement to communicate preferences
I'm no longer frightened
No longer experiencing fear or hesitation
We both know it's mutual
Reiteration of the mutual understanding
We both know it's mutual to me
Emphasis on the shared understanding being significant to the speaker
I've seen it all before
Claiming familiarity with similar situations or people
The way you watch my pour
Observation of someone watching the speaker pour something
The way you check the time
Noticing someone checking the time when the speaker is leaving
When I'm walking out the door
Describing a recurring scenario
I've seen it all before
Repetition of witnessing familiar situations
You do not deserve me
Asserting that the other person is not worthy of the speaker
We both know it's mutual
Restating the mutual understanding, emphasizing its relevance to the speaker
We both know it's mutual to me
Underlining the significance of the shared understanding for the speaker
Time is like the sea when you have no place to be
Comparing time to the sea when one is free from obligations
We both know it's mutual
Reaffirming the mutual understanding between the parties
We both know it's mutual to me
Reiteration of the speaker's personal connection to the mutual understanding
