My House
Unrequited Intrigue: Love's Awkward Dance in My House by The Squeegees
Lyrics
There she's standing alone
Observing a person standing alone
And I wonder if what I'm doing is wrong
Questioning the morality of current actions
I want to touch your hand
Expressing desire to physically connect
But it's so far away you might notice me then
Feeling hesitant due to distance and fear of being noticed
Can't wait for you to go to bed
Eagerly waiting for the person to sleep
Give me a chance to peer in to your head
Yearning for a chance to understand their thoughts
Went in for a touch
Attempted physical contact
And to my surprise
Surprised by the outcome
She opened up her eyes
The person being observed wakes up and reacts
And she yelled
Shouted response of shock and anger
What the fuck
Aggressive rejection
Get away from me go die
Strong negative response and a wish for the intruder to leave or perish
How the fuck did you get inside
Questioning how the observer gained entry into their personal space
My house
Statement of location, "My house," emphasizing ownership and intrusion
We caught eyes on the bus
Recalling an encounter on public transport
And I'm sure that that means we're falling in love
Assuming a romantic connection from eye contact
I wanna be your man
Expressing the desire for a relationship
But I'm shy and timid don't know if I can
Admitting shyness and uncertainty about pursuing the relationship
I whisper your name
Quietly saying the person's name from their personal space
From the depths of your closet I don't feel ashamed
Feeling unashamed about being in the person's closet
Went in for a touch
Another attempt at physical contact
And to my surprise
Similar reaction as before, surprise at the person waking up
She opened up her eyes
Repeated reaction of shock and anger from the person
And she yelled
Aggressive response to the observer's presence
What the fuck
Continuation of strong negative reaction
Get away from me go die
Requesting the observer to leave or face consequences
How the fuck did you get inside
Reiterating confusion about the observer's intrusion
My house
Reaffirming the location and the intrusion
What the fuck
Repeating the shock and anger at the presence of the observer
Get away from me go die
-How the fuck did you get inside
-My house
-Apparently
Reflection on societal norms and the inappropriateness of the observer's actions
One isn't supposed to
-Serenade
-A woman while in the
-Cozy shade
-Of her closet door
-At a quarter past four
-Who knew
-Get out of my room
Repeated demands for the observer to leave, emphasizing ownership and intrusion
Who knew
-Get out of my room
-My house
-Who knew
-Get out of my room
-My house
-Who knew
-Get out of my room
-My house
-Who knew
Continued emphasis on the observer's unwelcome presence
