stupid song cover art

Verse 1

New York City's never looked so blueMy friends are smoking blunts in the bathroomThey say that honest love is a cage that makes you feel freeAnd all the girls at this party are so coolThat's never been a thing that I could doBut I can't help but imagine what you say when you speak with me

Chorus

You're a spark in the dark and my clothes all caught aflameYou should feel how I feel when somebody says your nameI'm a car speeding down the boulevard without a brakeAnd I want you more than any stupid song could ever sayI'm a heart made of wax and I'm melting in the sunI'm a thread on your shirt that is coming undoneI feel right, I feel wrong, I feel totally insaneAnd I want you more than any stupid song could ever say

Verse 2

Walking through the park with my head highPast all the college girls and the drunk guysAnd if there is a god, he's the bond that's between us twoSeven nights alone and a skipped mealI'm sleeping in my dress and my high heelsAnd I'm too shy to say what I see when I dream of you (When I dream of you)

Chorus

You're a spark in the dark and my clothes all caught aflameYou should feel how I feel when somebody says your nameI'm a car speeding down the boulevard without a brakeAnd I want you more than any stupid song could ever sayI'm a heart made of wax and I'm melting in the sunI'm a thread on your shirt that is coming undoneI feel right, I feel wrong, I feel totally insaneAnd I want you more than any stupid song could ever say

Bridge

Every night like the one beforeDream of you from like 1 to 4Positively and truly sureNobody's wanted somebody moreIt's a thing that I can't ignoreTell your friends that you're mine, I'm yoursWith a hand on my heart, I sworeNobody's wanted somebody moreIt's a thing that I can't ignoreTell your friends that you're mine, I'm yoursWith a hand on my heart, I swore

Pre-Chorus

I'm going crazy, I'm going madI want you, baby, so bad

Chorus

You're a spark in the dark and my clothes all caught aflameYou should feel how I feel when somebody says your nameI'm a car speeding down the boulevard without a brakeAnd I want you more than any stupid song could ever sayI'm a heart made of wax and I'm melting in the sunI'm a thread on your shirt that is coming undoneI feel right, I feel wrong, I feel totally insaneAnd I want you more than any stupid song could ever say
What the song means

A song about overwhelming infatuation and obsession. The speaker is consumed by feelings for someone, using vivid metaphors (melting wax, speeding car, caught aflame) to express the intensity of her desire. She feels her emotions are too powerful for words or songs to capture, yet she tries anyway through this song itself.
