Middle Cyclone (FS9)

I am longing for your touch as much as you are longing for mine.

But the truth is, we never even brush each other, we are too far away, no matter how close.

And we'll always be. That is why you cherish it so.

Lyrics:

(spoken) Okay we're rolling
One two three, two two three

Baby why'm I worried now
Did someone make a fool of me
'fore I could show 'em how it's done
Na na na na na
Na na na

I can't give up actin' tough
It's all that I'm made of
Can't scrape together quite enough
To ride the bus to the outskirts of the fact that I need love

There were times that I tried
One for every glass of water that I spill
Next to the bed retching pennies in a boiling well
In a dream that at once becomes a foundry
Of mute and heavy bells
They shake me deaf and dumb
Say someone made a fool of me
'fore I could show 'em how it's done

It was so clear to me
That it was almost invisible
"I lie 'cross the path waiting
Just for a chance to be
A spider web trapped in your lashes
For that I would trade you my empire for ashes
But I choke it back
How much I need love
Na na na na na
Na na na

My Interpretation:

This is about a girl who is in love, but she can't express it for whatever reason. She can't say anything and she obviously can't stop being in love, (not that she has not tried already)therefore, she feels stupid, helpless and, worst of all, she blames herself for her unbalanced anxiety state, since she ushers herself to keep quiet. "I lie 'cross the path waiting/Just for a chance to be/A spider web trapped in your lashes" how romantic and depressing is that?
