On returning, I can't believe this world is still turning, The pressure's on, Because the pleasure hasn't gone
And I'm, Not sorry for, For the things I've done
And I'm, Not looking for, Just anyone

On competing, Oh, when will this tired heart stop beating?,
It's all a game, Existence is only a game
And I'm, Not sorry for, For the things I've done
And I'm, Not looking for, Just anyone

I'm, Slipping below the water line, I'm, Slipping below the water line
Reach for my hand, And, And the race is won
Reject my hand, And, The damage is done

I'm, Slipping below the water line
I'm, Slipping below the water line


The woman of my dreams, She, She never came along
The woman of my dreams, Well, There never was one

And I'm, Not sorry for, For the things I've said
There's a wild man in my head, There's a wild man In my head

    He had this major crush on her. He thought that she was special, that she could be the one, the "woman of my dreams".

    But then he found out things about her which he can't stand, which make her seem ordinary. He is getting the opinion that she is just an "anyone".

    His attraction to her is fading, he is "returning".

    He doesn't regret anything he did to get close to her because his intentions were good. He was serious with her but she was only playing a "game", he was only a competitor in her game.

    And again his heart was beating all for nothing.

    But he still has this perfet image of her in his mind, he doesn't want to believe it is not real. He doesn't see any reason in his life without it. So he gives her a last chance to rescue him from slipping "below the water line". She doesn't take it. Alle the passion and longing he feels have nowhere to go, it's the "wild man in my head".
