Lyrics
All of the king's horses
All efforts made by influential figures
And all of the kings men
Collective attempt to fix the situation
Couldn't put my heart back together again
Unable to mend my broken heart
All of the physicians and mathematicians too
Even experts like doctors and intellectuals
Failed to stop my heart from breaking in two
Failed in preventing my emotional pain
'cause all I need is you
Expressing a sole reliance on a specific person
I just need you
Emphasizing the necessity of that person
Yeah, you got the glue
Metaphorically possessing the solution or remedy
So I'm going to give my heart to you
Committing emotionally to that individual
I had a premonition
Foreseeing a future event
A movie in my mind
Mental imagery reinforcing suspicions
Confirming my suspicions about what I would fine
Validation of expectations regarding an outcome
You followed me to LA, down to Mexico
Tracking the other person's presence in various locations
Came in through the back door
Arrival unnoticed or through an unconventional means
At the start of the show
Joining at the beginning of an event or situation
'cause all I need is you
Reiteration of dependency on a specific individual
I just need you
Reaffirming the essentiality of that person
Yeah, you got the glue
Attributing the ability to fix things to that person
So I'm going to give my heart to you
Pledging emotional surrender to the person
Oh was a perfect day
Recalling a time of perfection
Oh in a perfect way
Highlighting the ideal nature of a situation
You know, something had to go
Acknowledging an inevitable downfall in the perfection
You left me high, you left me low
Experiencing extreme emotional highs and lows due to the person's actions
Now as I lie in pieces, await for your return
Feeling shattered and waiting for the person's return
The sun upon my forehead
Feeling the impact of the situation intensely
It burns, baby, burns, baby, burns
Experiencing intense emotional pain metaphorically represented as burning
An eye on all my horses
Monitoring the situation cautiously
You slept with all my men
Expressing betrayal by the person with a play on the nursery rhyme
I'm never going to get it together again
Feeling unable to recover or repair the situation
