Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So I look in your direction
But you pay me no attention, do you
I know you don't listen to me
'Cause you say you see straight through me, don't you

And on and on from the moment I wake
To the moment I sleep
I'll be there by your side
Just you try and stop me
I'll be waiting in line
Just to see if you can

Did she want me to change
Well I change for good
And I want you to know
But you always get your way
I wanted to say

Don't you shiver, shiver, shiver

I'll always be waiting for you
So you know how much I need you
But you never even see me, do you

And is this is my final chance of getting you

And on and on from the moment I wake
To the moment I sleep
I'll be there by your side
Just you try and stop me
I'll be waiting in line
Just to see if you care

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Did she want me to change
Well I change for good
And I want you to know
But you always get your way
I wanted to say

Don't you shiver
Don't you shiver

Sing it loud and clear
I'll always be waiting for you

Yeah I'll always be waiting for you
Yeah I'll always be waiting for you
Yeah I'll always be waiting for you
For you I will always be waiting

And it's you I see, but you don't see me
And it's you I hear, so loud and clear
I sing it loud and clear
And I'll always be waiting for you

So I look in your direction
But you pay me no attention




And you know how much I need you
But you never even see me

When things were at their very worst:
2 Suns, Cross in the sky, 2 comets will collide = don`t be afraid – repent, accept Lord`s Hand of Mercy.
Scientists will say it was a global illusion.
Beware – Jesus will never walk in flesh again.
After WW3 – rise of the “ man of peace“ from the East = Antichrist – the most powerful, popular, charismatic and influential leader of all time. Many miracles will be attributed to him. He will imitate Jesus in every conceivable way.
Don`t trust „pope“ Francis = the False Prophet
- will seem to rise from the dead
- will unite all Christian Churches and all Religions as one.
One World Religion = the seat of the Antichrist.
Benedict XVI is the last true pope - will be accused of a crime of which he is totally innocent.

"Arab uprising will spark global unrest – Italy will trigger fall out"

"The time for the schism in the Church is almost here and you must get prepared now"

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I took an arrow to the heart
I never kissed a mouth that tastes like yours
Strawberries and somethin' more
Ooh yeah, I want it all
Lipstick on my guitar (Ooh)
Fill up the engine, we can drive real far
Go dancin' underneath the stars
Ooh yeah, I want it all
Mh, you got me feelin' like

[Pre-Chorus]
I wanna be that guy
I wanna kiss your eyes
I wanna drink that smile
I wanna feel like I'm—
Like my soul's on fire
I wanna stay up all day and all night
Yeah, you got me singin' like



[Chorus]
Ooh, I love it when you do it like that
And when you're closer, give me thе shivers
Oh, baby, you wanna dance till the sunlight cracks
And whеn they say the party's over, then we'll bring it right back
And we'll say, ooh, I love it when you do it like that
And when you're closer, give me the shivers
Oh, baby, you wanna dance till the sunlight cracks
And when they say the party's over, then we'll bring it right back

[Verse 2]
Into the car, on the back seat in the moonlit dark
Wrap me up between your legs and arms
Ooh, I can't get enough
You know you could tear me apart (Ooh)
Put me back together and take my heart
I never thought that I could love this hard
Ooh, I can't get enough
Mh, you got me feelin' like



[Pre-Chorus]
I wanna be that guy
I wanna kiss your eyes
I wanna drink that smile
I wanna feel like I'm—
Like my soul's on fire
I wanna stay up all day and all night
Yeah, you got me singing like



[Chorus]
Ooh, I love it when you do it like that
And when you're closer, give me the shivers
Oh, baby, you wanna dance till the sunlight cracks
And when they say the party's over, then we'll bring it right back
And we'll say, ooh, I love it when you do it like that
And when you're closer, give me the shivers
Oh, baby, you wanna dance till the sunlight cracks
And when they say the party's over, then we'll bring it right back



[Bridge]
Baby, you are so hot
You make me shiver with the fire you got
This thing is started, I don't want it to stop
You know you make me shiver, —er, —er
Baby, you are so hot
You make me shiver with the fire you got
This thing is started, I don't want it to stop
You know you make me shiver
Yeah, you got me singin' like



[Chorus]
Ooh, I love it when you do it like that
And when you're closer, give me the shivers
Oh, baby, you wanna dance till the sunlight cracks
And when they say the party's over, then we'll bring it right back (Oh no)
And we'll say, ooh, I love it when you do it like that
And when you're closer, give me the shivers
Oh, baby, you wanna dance till the sunlight cracks
And when they say the party's over, then we'll bring it right back (Oh no)
And we'll say, ooh, I love it when you do it like that
And when you're closer, give me the shivers
Oh, baby, you wanna dance till the sunlight cracks
And when they say the party's over, then we'll bring it right back (Hey)

I like so much how Ed shows man’s affection is soft and insecure. He doesn’t play brutality, he’s just the way he is. I respect and love it!
