This room Lyrics
I sit and watch you from window, lady
I see you giving yourself away.
I see the ground catch at your feet.
I see the street signs of defeat.
Sweet lady
Sweet lady
Sweet lady
And then you turn to me instinctively-
just like you're checking if you're alone.
Then like a reflex from my mind,
I fall away into the background.
Like a shadow on the wall.
Oh yeaee
A shadow on the wall
A shadow on the wall
A shadow on the wall.
See I've got nothing left to use
I think its time I changed my view
I think its time I changed my view
I think its time I changed my view
Just like a king in his lonely kingdom
Like a ruler who had no rules
See I've got nothing left to lose
I think its time I changed my view
I think its time I changed my view
I think its time I changed my view
I've got nothing left to lose
Like a bum who never had no shoes
Walk these streets deep in dark despair
I want love don't want to fight.
I wanna love I don't wanna fight,
yeah yeah. (x7)
Ooooh.
I see you giving yourself away.
I see the ground catch at your feet.
I see the street signs of defeat.
Sweet lady
Sweet lady
just like you're checking if you're alone.
Then like a reflex from my mind,
I fall away into the background.
Like a shadow on the wall.
Oh yeaee
A shadow on the wall
A shadow on the wall
A shadow on the wall.
I think its time I changed my view
I think its time I changed my view
I think its time I changed my view
Like a ruler who had no rules
See I've got nothing left to lose
I think its time I changed my view
I think its time I changed my view
I think its time I changed my view
Like a bum who never had no shoes
Walk these streets deep in dark despair
I want love don't want to fight.
yeah yeah. (x7)

is it about a prostitute?
I think a prostitute is most likely however I do like to think about it in another way.\n\nHe is in love with someone and is living with them. This woman maybe suffers from mental health issues or at least something that he cannot fully understand. \n\nAlthough they are in love ‘someone I’d like to know as a kindred soul’ and have been for a long time, he still does not fully understand her psyche - ‘changing my view of you everyday’ \n\nAlthough he doesn’t understand, he is trying to ‘I think it’s time that I changed my view’. This persistence in his efforts to help her seems to resonate in the musical tone of the song, it feels lonely - even though they are together he is alone in his efforts to help.
