Temptation

This song is clearly about the experience of meeting someone new: the temptation you feel and the possibility of bliss, as well as the fear of rejection.

Heaven, a gateway, a hope Just like a feeling inside, it's no joke

Finding a new lover can be blissful.

And though it hurts me to see you this way Betrayed by words, I'd never heard, too hard to say

It seems you might not like me back. You haven't said so, but I'm afraid of rejection.

Up, down, turn around Please don't let me hit the ground

Please don't reject me.

Tonight I think I'll walk alone I'll find my soul as I go home

I think I'll chicken out and not approach the person I find attractive.

Each way I turn, I know I'll always try To break this circle that's been placed around me

Although I'm afraid of rejection, I'll keep trying to break through my fear.

From time to time, I find I've lost some need That was urgent to myself, I do believe

Over time, my need to approach a new person has diminished.

Oh, you've got green eyes Oh, you've got blue eyes Oh, you've got grey eyes

I've been attracted to different people.

And I've never seen anyone quite like you before No, I've never met anyone quite like you before

Each new person I'm interested in always feels unique.

Bolts from above hurt the people down below People in this world, we have no place to go

The desire to connect with a new person just happens. You can't avoid it.

Oh, it's the last time

Oh it's the last time I'll dare to approach this attractive person.
