Lyrics
I wanna see some faces tonight
I desire to encounter some people tonight.
That I haven't seen since I was seventeen
Individuals I haven't seen since I was seventeen.
I wanna see the confrontation arise with the old and young
I want to witness a confrontation between the old and young.
'Til it's just no fun
Until it ceases to be enjoyable.
Too many reasons to forget myself
There are numerous reasons to forget myself.
When you live in fear
Especially when living in fear.
Get me out of here
Get me out of this situation.
You really think you'd have made it by now
Expressing doubt about achieving success by now.
When it's raining down in a one horse town
During rainy times in a small, unremarkable town.
Laugh it off and sing my song
Dismiss challenges, laugh, and sing my own song.
When you're in command of a one man band
Being in control of a one-man band.
Feel alive just to write it down
Feeling alive just by documenting it.
Well you'll learn nothing but you'll feel something
Learning nothing but experiencing emotions.
There's many ways that you can go my dear
There are many paths to take, my dear.
When it's all for me and it's all for you
When actions are both for oneself and for others.
But this is all too much for me
Feeling overwhelmed, it's too much for the speaker.
It's all getting too much
Expressing that everything is becoming too much.
I need your love
Expressing the need for love.
Cos I feel so hurt
Because there is a feeling of hurt.
Set sail on the road when you call me up
Embarking on a journey when summoned.
Oh come on
An urging invitation, "Oh, come on."
Be the one
Encouraging someone to be the one.
To see the sun
To witness the sunrise.
You try but you know that it can't be done
Attempting something difficult or impossible.
Ello ello
A greeting or attention-grabber, "Hello."
I wanna go some places tonight that you'll never know 'til you're on your own
Expressing a desire to explore unfamiliar places alone.
I'll double up on the races and riot
Participating in races and riots because it defines the speaker.
Cos it's who I am and it's where I stand
Being true to oneself and standing firm.
I wanna know who started the fire
Curiosity about the origin of a fire.
Cos it wasn't me and it wasn't you
Denying responsibility for the fire.
Come on baby what's up with me
An inquiry about the speaker's state of mind.
Come on baby what's up
A repetition of the inquiry, seeking understanding.
I need your love
Expressing the need for love again.
Cos I feel so hurt
Reiterating the feeling of being hurt.
Set sail on the road when you call me up
Embarking on a journey upon receiving a call.
Oh come on
An urging invitation, "Oh, come on."
Be the one
Encouraging someone to be the one.
To see the sun
To witness the sunrise.
You try but you know that it can't be done
Attempting something difficult or impossible.
Ello ello
A greeting or attention-grabber, "Hello."
Ello ello
A repeated greeting or attention-grabber, "Hello."
Ello ello
-Ello ello
-Ello ello
-Ello ello
-Ello ello
-Ello ello
-I wanna see some faces tonight
I want to encounter some people tonight.
