And my plane begins to fall

When I open the door

Didn’t you say you were leaving
Questioning the girl's return, recalling her supposed departure for her own dreams.
For a dream of your own

What are you doing on my mind
Questioning why the girl is on the dreamer's mind.
You’ve got me dreaming us back together
Expressing the impact of the girl's presence on thoughts of reconciliation.
Just when I thought I could
Feeling unable to avoid dreaming of a reunion despite efforts to move on alone.

Reflecting on the challenge of being alone in dreams.
There’s a big hotel by the water’s edge

On a table top got my money spread

And I’m reaching for a card

I draw the queen of hearts

I tried to shake you
Expressing attempts to distance from the girl.
I do the best that I can

Just when I think I’ve got a handle
Struggling to manage plans and emotions.
For all of my plans here you come again
Expressing the unexpected return of the girl, disrupting plans.
