Lyrics
Swallow me say swallow me
Expressing a desire to be accepted or embraced completely.
Take me to your nest of china dolls
Invitation to a place of delicate, fragile beauty, likened to china dolls.
Call me up your closest friend
Request to be considered as a close and trusted companion.
Join me in my neighbourhood patrol
Suggesting a desire for shared experiences and collaboration.
Happy me say happy me
Expressing a desire for personal happiness.
Chinese whispers bounce from ear to ear
Referring to gossip or rumors that circulate easily.
The night is young I feel so old
Feeling a contrast between youthfulness and a sense of age or weariness.
See the stars above the night's so clear
Observing the clarity of the night sky and celestial bodies.
I used to come home late and lie, lie, lie
Admitting to past deceptive behavior, repeatedly lying.
She used to see through that but still I tried
Acknowledging someone's ability to see through deception.
I couldn't cover up the tracks I'd made
Unable to conceal or hide the evidence of one's actions.
That's how it used to be but not today
Contrasting a changed present with a deceptive past.
Race around I race around
Energetic movement and focus on the present moment with a specific person.
Focused on the here and now with you
Each smile is cherished and considered special.
Every smile's a valentine
Contemplating the potential harm that love can bring.
What harm can a little loving do
Playful and stumbling behavior due to being intoxicated by love.
Fall about then fall about
Requesting assistance and support before attempting something.
Drunk on love I can't stand on my feet
Acknowledging a surplus of unspoken words or emotions.
Before I try please take my hand
A playful request for physical affection, possibly a handshake.
I've so many words left I should eat
Feeling the need for help to stay connected or focused on love.
Tickle me please tickle me
A request for playful, light-hearted interaction.
Laughter climbs the walls above our bed
Describing a joyful atmosphere with laughter echoing.
This night we have is built on love
Highlighting the foundation of the current night as love.
Help me so I do not lose the thread
Seeking assistance to avoid losing the emotional connection.
Swallow me say swallow me
Reiteration of the desire to be fully embraced or accepted.
Happy me say happy me
Reiteration of the desire for personal happiness.
Race around I race around
Repetition of energetic movement and focus on the present moment.
Fall about then fall about
Repetition of stumbling behavior due to intoxication with love.
Tickle me say tickle me
Reiteration of the request for playful, light-hearted interaction.
Love me do sing love me do
Combining a request for love and a reference to a classic Beatles song.
