This song is about wanted to be a rock star, and then finding out what a screwed up career you've gotten into. The charm is that it seems like a love song.

Been running so long I’ve nearly lost all track of time In every direction I couldn’t see the warning signs

(been on the road for so long that I don't even know where I am, what day it is. Partying, playing, drugging- couldn't see the warning signs)

I must be losin’ it ‘Cause my mind plays tricks on me It looked so easy (to be famous, popular) But you know looks sometimes deceive

Been running so fast Right from the starting line (from the moment the Go-Go's hit, it was non-stop promotion, touring, interviews...) No more connections (with people trying to make money off me, or drug dealers!) I don’t need any more advice

One hand’s just reaching out And one’s just hangin’ on (I'm barely keeping it together) It seems my weaknesses (boys, sex, ego) Just keep going strong

Head over heels Where should I go Can’t stop myself Outta control

Head over heels No time to think Looks like the whole world’s Out of sync

Been running so hard (since becoming a go-go) When what I need is to unwind The voice of reason Is one I left so far behind

I waited so long So long to play this part (of a rockstar) And just remembered That I’d forgotten about my heart (i sold out)

Head over heels Where should I go Can’t stop myself Outta control

Head over heels No time to think Looks like the whole world’s Out of sync
