Lyrics
There's something in the way
Expressing a mysterious or intriguing presence or feeling
If he's not catching waves
Referring to the subject catching waves, likely a surfer
At sundown
Setting the time as sundown, creating a specific atmosphere
I don't know what to say
Expressing uncertainty or confusion about the situation
He said he'd be this way
Indicating a promised behavior or state
By sundown
Reiterating the time as sundown, emphasizing its importance
So you pick up your phone
Encouraging communication by calling on the phone
And you dial up his number
Describing the act of dialing the subject's number
And you call him
Encouraging a phone call to the subject
But he's still searching for a way
Suggesting the subject's ongoing search for something
To spend a couple days
Expressing the desire to spend time with a carefree attitude
With his hair down
Imagining a relaxed state with flowing hair
To look in her eyes
Repeating the desire to look into someone's eyes, emphasizing connection
To look in her eyes
-To look in her eyes
-Just look into her eyes
-There's something in the way
Repeating the mysterious or intriguing presence
If he's not catching waves
Reiterating the subject's connection to catching waves
At sundown
Repeating the setting as sundown, maintaining a consistent theme
He must have lost his way
Suggesting the subject's possible deviation from the expected location
He's not down by the bay
Indicating the subject's absence from the bay at sundown
At sundown
Reiterating the time as sundown, maintaining the atmospheric setting
So you pick up your phone
Encouraging communication through a phone call
And you dial up his number
Describing the act of dialing the subject's number
And you call him
Encouraging a phone call to the subject
But he's still looking for a way
Suggesting the subject's continued search for something
To mellow with the fray
Desiring a relaxed state amidst chaos or challenges
In a ghost town
Describing a potentially deserted or quiet town
To look in her eyes
Repeating the desire to look into someone's eyes, reinforcing connection
To look in her eyes
-To look in her eyes
-To look in her eyes
-But nothing happens every time
Expressing a sense of nothing changing or progressing when looking into her eyes
I look into her eyes
Repeating the lack of change or impact when gazing into her eyes
I watch the sunset in her heart
Metaphorically watching the sunset in her heart, suggesting deep emotions
It makes me want to die
Expressing intense emotions, potentially linked to the metaphorical sunset
She said "Follow me down"
Quoting a request to follow someone to the ocean, symbolizing a journey
Down to the ocean
Directing attention to the ocean as a significant location
Saying "Hey Captain John"
Addressing "Captain John" with admiration or attraction
You know you turn me on
-Oh hey Captain John
Reiterating the admiration or attraction to "Captain John"
You know you turn me on
