Soft Shock Lyrics

Unknown, talk to unknown
Ever, lasts forever
Well it's a shock, shock to your soft side
Summer moon
Catch your shut eyes in your room
In my room
In your room
In my room

Louder, lips speak louder
Better, back together
Still it's a shock, shock to your soft side
Summer moon
Catch your shut eyes in my room
In your room
In my room
In your room

Whats the time
Whats the day
Gonna leave me
Whats the time [Repeat x2]
Whats the place
Gonna leave me

Out,

Leave me out [Repeat x3]

to me it sounds like a first real love and first heartbreak.

"unknown, talk to unknown" sounds like someone introducing the two lovers

"ever lasts forever" refers to being naive about the relationship and thinking it will last forever, but it ends.

"sharp shock to your soft side" refers to the shock of the love and the impact it has on the emotions, or soft side.

"summer moon, catch your shuteye" "in your room, in my room" sounds like it was a summer romance, and it's talking about the two of them sleeping together, sleeping at each others places.

it sounds like they broke up, then got back together, "better back together", which eases her heartache, but now shes terrified he's going to leave her again.

i think its about that first heartbreak and the pain and emotion catching you by surprise.

I already commented with those corrections guys, and apparently they were just deleted. Apparently laurentertaining is infallible or something.

Dustybreeze is right about those lines, also for the third verse it should be:

In my room, in your room In my room, in your room

I love this song.

I can't really work this song out but it appears to be about a person who feels that their relationship is coming to an end soon and so they are anticipating the break up instead of enjoying the simple presence of their lover.(What's the time, what's the date, gonna leave me?)

oh man! such a great song. this one really jumped out at me from the new CD. (which is amazing, btw.) it really is up there with Maps... but, we all know that nothing can replace Maps. hahaha... :D brilliant song.

And you, 4barbela, apparently don't realize that I don't check Songmeanings daily, nor do I have the ability to delete comments because I did nothing of the sort. Also, the lyrics are fixed. Learn to be patient.

Ah, ok, well my apologies then. I commented with corrections on a few songs and they disappeared so I don't know what the hell >_>

I'm sorry those comment corrections of yours disappeared. I think I've seen comments disappear a bit on a few YYYs songs so you're not alone. Gracias for the apologies!
