99
Chasing Shadows: A Quest for Love Beyond 99
Lyrics
I think of you every minute
I constantly think about you.
of just about every other day
My thoughts of you are persistent, occurring almost daily.
It's funny but the tv
Despite distractions like TV, thoughts of you remain.
doesn't seem to make my thoughts about you go away
Media doesn't alleviate my thoughts of you.
Every time I think of you
Thinking of you triggers an investigative process.
I start to follow clues
Searching for clues in my thoughts of you.
can't call you from my shoe
Humorous reference to spy-like actions (calling from a shoe).
99
Repetition of "99" as a significant reference.
The bathtub girls I see on bikes in Lakeview
Observing people who resemble you in Lakeview.
all look too much like you and 99
Emphasizing the ubiquity of reminders of you.
I've got a job to do
Expressing difficulty concentrating on tasks due to thoughts of you.
but I can't concentrate anything else at this time
Acknowledging a responsibility but struggling to focus on it.
I know I should be getting smart
Acknowledging the need for personal growth despite separation.
but since we've been apart
Difficulty in intellectual pursuits since the separation.
I can't even count as high as 99
Hyperbolic expression of emotional turmoil, inability to count high.
Don't tell me you're a double agent
Questioning the trustworthiness of the person (double agent).
I asked you not to tell me that
Requesting not to hear unpleasant truths.
I'd join you in a New York minute
Expressing willingness to join the person quickly due to their appeal.
'cause you're so rad and that's a fact
Complimenting the person's character as rad.
When you left me things were Kaotic
Describing chaos and loss of control after the person's departure.
and I think I almost lost Control
Improvement in mental state, moving away from extreme behaviors.
But now I am a little less psychotic
Asserting a more stable mental condition and a feasible mission.
and my mission's not impossible
Expressing determination to find someone similar to the person.
I will find another girl like 99
Recognizing the abundance of individuals similar to the person.
you know the world is full of 99'
Affirming the lasting memory of the person.
but I'll remember you 99
Reiterating the impact and significance of the person (99).
