Lyrics

Oh it's strange the way that it works out

Reflecting on the unpredictable nature of life and its outcomes.

Running out of matches and the fire keeps going out

Experiencing a shortage of resources (matches) while facing challenges (fire going out).

Through three hundred and sixty degrees

Describing a complete circle, symbolizing a full cycle of experiences.

Falling over you and over me

Falling in love or encountering challenges, affecting both individuals.

And I know, oh yes I know

Acknowledging awareness of certain truths or situations.

Sometimes the fever comes and goes

Recognizing the cyclical nature of emotions, specifically fever-like feelings.

Nice job, Jerome

Complimenting or sarcastically acknowledging someone named Jerome for their actions or decisions.

Nice job, Jerome

Nice job, Jerome

Now you're crying like a baby 'cause your buggy's all broken

Expressing distress similar to a crying baby due to a malfunctioning "buggy" or vehicle.

Things that were said

Referencing past remarks or statements.

Things that were spoken of

Referring to spoken words and their impact.

And it's in the air and in the trees

Suggesting the pervasive influence of emotions in the surroundings.

Falling over you and over me

Repeating the idea of emotions affecting both individuals.

And I know, oh yeah I know

Reiterating awareness of certain truths or situations.

Sometimes the fever comes and goes

Acknowledging the cyclical nature of fever-like feelings.

Yeah I know, oh yeah I know

Repeating acknowledgment of the cyclical nature of emotions.

Sometimes the feelings come and go

Recognizing the transient nature of emotions.

Nice job, Jerome

Continuing the acknowledgment or sarcasm towards Jerome for their actions or decisions.

Nice job, Jerome

Nice job, Jerome

Repeating acknowledgment or sarcasm towards Jerome.


Hope beyond hope

Hope beyond hope

For a little hope

Hope

For a little hope

For a little

Just for a little

Just for a little

Just for a little hope

Just for a little hope

Reiterating the plea for a small amount of hope.
