Lyrics
Have you got colour in your cheeks?
Do you ever get that fear that you can't shift
The type that sticks around like summat in your teeth?
Are there some aces up your sleeve?
Have you no idea that you're in deep?
I dreamt about you nearly every night this week
How many secrets can you keep?
'Cause there's this tune I found that makes me think of you somehow
And I play it on repeat
Until I fall asleep
Spilling drinks on my settee

(Do I wanna know)
If this feeling flows both ways?
(Sad to see you go)
Was sort of hoping that you'd stay
(Baby, we both know)
That the nights were mainly made for saying things that you can't say tomorrow day

Crawlin' back to you
Ever thought of calling when you've had a few?
'Cause I always do
Maybe I'm too
Busy being yours to fall for somebody new
Now I've thought it through
Crawlin' back to you

So have you got the guts?
Been wondering if your heart's still open
And if so I wanna know what time it shuts
Simmer down and pucker up
I'm sorry to interrupt
It's just I'm constantly on the cusp
Of trying to kiss you
I don't know if you feel the same as I do
But we could be together if you wanted to

(Do I wanna know)
If this feeling flows both ways?
(Sad to see you go)
Was sort of hoping that you'd stay
(Baby, we both know)
That the nights were mainly made for saying things that you can't say tomorrow day

Crawlin' back to you
Ever thought of calling when you've had a few
'Cause I always do
Maybe I'm too busy being yours to fall for somebody new
Now I've thought it through
Crawlin' back to you

(Do I wanna know)
If this feeling flows both ways?
(Sad to see you go)
Was sort of hoping that you'd stay
(Baby, we both know)
That the nights were mainly made for saying things that you can't say tomorrow day

(Do I wanna know?)
Too busy being yours to fall
(Sad to see you go)
Ever thought of calling, darling?
(Do I wanna know?)
Do you want me crawling back to you?

Do I Wanna Know? Meanings & Lyrics Discussion
ashlove discusses the meanings of Do I Wanna Know? lyrics: This song absolutely kills me- every line is laced with such pure desire and longing. He is infatuated, almost in a lust-filled fever: 'I dreamt about you nearly every night this week' or 'there's this tune I found that makes me think of you somehow and I play it on repeat until I fall asleep'. He just can't get her out of his head. I don't think they were ever together exclusively. Maybe they were on the verge of something more, and they'd say stuff to each other ('baby we both know that the nights were mainly made for things you can't say tomorrow day…') At one point he knew she liked him back ('been wondering if your heart's STILL open..') Something happened though, but he's still stuck on her. She is all he can think of, sober or drunk, and he just wants to know if she feels the same way. Often with this type of obsession you turn the other person into something they are not or something they can never live up to. That's why he as
Fireside Meanings & Lyrics Discussion
vincent505 discusses the meanings of Fireside lyrics: I kind of get the feeling that this song isn't necessarily about a past romance, but a romance that is reaching its end. Not because of an argument or something along those lines, but simply because of the dwindling interest on the narrator's end. I'll try my best to explain what I mean. The first verse has the narrator (Alex) describe how he can't really come to terms with how or why his feelings towards his lover is weakening. He has an image of what they used to be, and doesn't understand how they (really, he) drifted away from it. The mention of secrets in the 2nd verse is really just him keeping his feelings to himself. He doesn't want to tell her that he no longer loves her, but he's very tempted to do so anyways. He finds it strange that, after such a long time of keeping this girl in his heart, he no longer feels the same way about her. The chorus is pretty much the narrator questioning whether or not he should tell his lover how he feels abo
