The Delicate Place

Spoon

I got nothing
You got something
I feel out of place
Looking through your window
Into the delicate place
Reflections stating obvious mating holds

I'll own up to you if you own up to me
I'll picture for you if you picture for me

Have you got the answer
Have I yet won the part
Is this just your way of breaking my heart
Everyone denies it but they just want to be told

I'll hold if for you if you hold it for me
I'll picture for you if you picture for me
The delicate place
The questions it raise
The delicate place

I got nothing
You got something
I feel out of place
Looking through that window
Into the delicate place

I'll own up to you if you own up to me
I'll picture for you if you picture for me
The delicate place
The questions it raise
The delicate place yeah
The delicate place yeah
The delicate place yeah

    General CommentI think 'looking through your window' means looking into your eyes. I see a boy and a girl looking into each other's eyes while walking by each other. They see into each other's hearts. There's mutual attraction, but neither of them will talk to each other.

    General CommentI think the song's about a guy who asked a girl out and is still waiting for an answer and probably feels a bit out of the loop -- hence the 2 opening lines... and he's saying how he'd be there for her if she'd do the same for him. In the 2nd verse, I think he's saying he just wants to find out whether or not she wants to go out with him 'cos either way, he just wants to know something...

    General Commentalso, this song builds up like an orgasm would & hits a climax, then slows back down. no one else sees this? sex, climaxes.
