These Girls
Ghosts of Regret: Embracing Solitude in the Flames
Lyrics
When I'm lying in her arms, I'll be thinking 'bout you
Reflecting on someone else while in the arms of another person.
I'll be thinking 'bout you, babe, I'll be thinking 'bout you, babe
Continued contemplation of a specific person while with someone else.
Even when she smiles, I'll be thinking 'bout you

Even when I look discretely down into her eyes
Reflecting on intimate moments and recalling experiences with another person.
You know I'm thinking about that time I spent between your thighs

Even then I wondered deeply through your glances
Thoughts wandering through memories of shared glances with the specific person.
This girl will never care

And even when she cries, I'll be thinking 'bout you

I'll be thinking 'bout you, I'll be thinking 'bout you, babe

Even though I only see you on the TV screen
Expressing a desire for exclusivity, despite seeing the person on TV with others.
With all those boys and your toys and your pleasured scream

I'll easy spend up all this loving for my dream girl
Committing all love and attention to the idealized "dream girl."
I don't want to share

And even when it's quiet, I'll be thinking 'bout you
Even in moments of silence, thoughts remain focused on the specific person.
I'll be thinking 'bout you, babe, I'll be thinking 'bout you, babe
Reiteration of persistent thoughts about the specific person regardless of external conditions.
I'm in love with that girl on page sixteen
Expressing love for an idealized girl depicted in a magazine centerfold on page sixteen.
Centrefold in that old paper magazine
