Lyrics
Questions
Expressing uncertainty or seeking answers
Circling around my brain
Questions persistently occupying thoughts
Invading all my senses
Sensory invasion by unanswered questions
Questions
Reiteration of the persistent questions
Things that I need answers to
Desire for answers to essential queries
But things that I can't get from you
Frustration at the inability to obtain answers from someone
Play my soul like the bass and the beat
Comparison of emotional experience to music elements
Love me good sweep me off my feet
Desire for intense, sweeping love
In the morning I'll learn the truth
Awaiting the truth in the morning
That you won't be here in a week
Anticipation of a forthcoming separation
The hardest part of loving is letting go
Recognition of the difficulty in letting go of love
You said that you love me but it's all for show
Doubt in the sincerity of professed love
If loving you is right I guess I'm always wrong
Conflict between love and its perceived rightness
You're a lover, you're a leaver, heartbreaker
Identification of the person as a transient lover and heartbreaker
Vagabond
Labeling the person as a vagabond, suggesting a wandering nature
Patience
Advocating for patience with a free-spirited individual
Trying to keep your gypsy soul
Describing the partner's soul as nomadic
To say you'll never leave me
Desire for reassurance about staying in the relationship
Patience
Repetition of the need for patience
No matter what you put me through
Commitment to enduring challenges for the sake of love
I'll waste all my time wanting you
Willingness to invest time despite uncertainty
Play my soul like the bass and the beat
Continued comparison of emotional experience to music elements
Your skin is the smell of my sheets
Sensual connection emphasized through scent imagery
Left a note on my pillow that read
Discovery of a departure note on the pillow
'I'm sorry but I got to leave'
Explicit communication of the decision to leave
The hardest part of loving is letting go
Reiteration of the emotional challenge in letting go
You said that you love me but it's all for show
Questioning the authenticity of professed love
If loving you is right I guess I'm always wrong
Exploration of the conflict between love and perceived wrongness
You're a lover, you're a leaver, heartbreaker
Reiteration of the lover's transient and heartbreak-inducing nature
Vagabond
Repetition of the label "Vagabond" to emphasize the theme
The hardest part of loving is letting go
Reiteration of the emotional challenge in letting go
You said that you love me but it's all for show
Questioning the sincerity of professed love
If loving you is right I guess I'm always wrong
Exploration of the conflict between love and perceived wrongness
You're a lover, you're a leaver, heartbreaker
Reiteration of the lover's transient and heartbreak-inducing nature
The hardest part of loving is letting go
Final emphasis on the emotional challenge of letting go
You said that you love me but it's all for show
Expression of doubt in the sincerity of love
If loving you is right I guess I'm always wrong
Exploration of the conflict between love and perceived wrongness
You're a lover, you're a leaver, heartbreaker
Reiteration of the lover's transient and heartbreak-inducing nature
Vagabond
Final emphasis on the label "Vagabond" to conclude the song
