Lyrics

She came on over to me

Initiation of a conversation or encounter with the singer.

Saying baby let's dance

Invitation to dance, suggesting a desire for connection or intimacy.

I got a gun in my hand

Revelation of a threat or danger, symbolized by the gun in hand.

It's pointed at the sunlight

The danger is directed towards positivity or optimism, represented by "sunlight."

It's just another day

Expression of a mundane or ordinary day.

Spent fading away

Time spent in a state of decline or deterioration.


The thrill is gone

Loss of excitement or enthusiasm.

Already moving on

Moving forward without the previous thrill or passion.

I just dreamed it all away

Alluding to a fantasy or an unrealized dream.

But when you return

Awaiting the return of someone from a distant place.

From across the sea

The person returns from across the sea, indicating a long journey.

Will you remember me?

Questioning whether the singer will be remembered upon the return.


She came on over to me

Repetition of the initial encounter, now with a negative tone.

Saying baby your dead

Declaration of the singer's demise or emotional death.

I've got a gun to your head

Intensification of the threat with a gun to the head.

Just put me out of my misery

Plea for release from suffering or pain.

When I hear the crack

Awaiting the sound of the gun, anticipating a fall.

I'll just keep falling back

Continued descent or decline.

Just keep falling back

Repetition emphasizing the ongoing descent or fall.

Just keep falling back

-

Just keep falling back

-

The thrill is gone

Reiteration of the loss of excitement or passion.

Already moving on

Continuing to move forward without the previous thrill.

I just dreamed it all away

Recalling the dream that was unrealized or unfulfilled.

But when you return

Repetition of the theme of someone returning from afar.

From across the sea

The return of the person from across the sea.

Will you remember me?

Repetition of the question, seeking assurance of remembrance.

Will you remember me?

-

Will you remember me?
