Mine, immaculate dream made breath and skin
I've been waiting for you
Signed with a home tattoo
Happy birthday to you was created for you

Can't ever keep from falling apart at the seams
Can I believe you're taking my heart to pieces?

Ah, it'll take a little time
Might take a little crime to come undone
Now we'll try to stay blind to the hope and fear outside
Hey child, stay wilder than the wind and blow me in to cry

Who do you need?
Who do you love?
When you come undone

Who do you need?
Who do you love?
When you come undone

Words, playing me deja vu
Like a radio tune, I swear I've heard before
Chill, is it something real?
Or the magic I'm feeding off your fingers

Can't ever keep from falling apart at the seams
Can I believe you're taking my heart to pieces?

Lost, in a snow filled sky
We'll make it alright to come undone
Now we'll try to stay blind to the hope and fear outside
Hey child, stay wilder than the wind and blow me in to cry

Who do you need?
Who do you love?
When you come undone

Who do you need?
Who do you love?
When you come undone (can't ever keep from falling apart)

Who do you need?
Who do you love?
When you come undone (can't ever keep from falling apart)

Who do you need?
Who do you love? (Can't ever keep from falling apart)
Who do you love?
When you come undone

My Interpretation
For me, this song is an affirmation of wedding vows, through better and worse - even when we "come undone". That's what I feel from the song. And I read that Simon wrote this as a gift to his wife, so that seems about right to me. Another person gave a quite different interpretation based on the official video for the song; however, videos are created with quite a bit of artistic license to help sell songs. Just look at the video for "The Chauffeur". Songs evolve from inspiration to commercial viability; I sort of think the "falling apart at the seams" and "taking my heart to pieces" are commercial embellishments that sound good, but maybe stray slightly from what I think the original intent of the song was about - an affirmation of marriage despite whatever turmoil life has presented. It seems to me that Duran Duran's very best songs (lyrics are the most important aspect of a song to me) are those that have a personal connection to Simon. This song, along with "Ordinary World" and "The Chauffeur" all do, from what I've read, anyway.
