Head Over Heels
Mike Rabin & The Demons Lyrics

I wanted to be with you alone
I longed for a moment where we could be together, just the two of us.

and talk about the weather
I was looking for any topic or conversation to connect with you.

But traditions I can trace against the child in your face
Your appearance and behavior are indicative of deep-rooted cultural traditions that I can identify with and may not be able to overcome.

Won't escape my attention
I pay close attention to these cultural signs, and they have an impact on me.

You keep your distance with a system of touch
You have a physical boundary that keeps you distant, which is communicated by your 'system of touch.'

and gentle persuasion
You use gentle methods to maintain your distance and keep me at arm's length.

I'm lost in admiration, could I need you this much
Despite the distance between us, I'm still strongly attracted to you and have strong feelings.

Oh, you're wasting my time, you're just, just, just wasting time
I'm becoming frustrated, as I feel that I'm investing a lot of time without seeing any progress or reciprocation from you.

Something happens and I'm head over heels
Something changes between us, and I become fully immersed in my feelings for you.

I never find out till I'm head over heels
I'm surprised by my strong emotional response and only realize how I feel once I'm fully invested in my feelings for you.

Ah, don't take my heart, don't break my heart
My heart is vulnerable, and I don't want you to hurt me or take advantage of my feelings.

Don't, don't, don't throw it away (Throw it away... Throw it away...)
Please don't throw away the love and affection that I have for you.

I made a fire and watching it burn (yeah)
I tried to distract myself by building a fire and watching it burn.

I thought of your future
While watching the fire, I couldn't help but consider what your future might hold.

With one foot in the past now just how long can it last
You're balancing the present and future with the past, and I wonder how long you can maintain this balance.

Oh no, no, have you no ambitions
I question whether you have any ambitions or goals for the future.

My mother and my brothers used to breathing clean air
My family enjoys clean air, and I'm accustomed to a certain quality of life.

And dreaming I'm a doctor
I have my own ambitions and aspirations, such as becoming a doctor.

It's hard to be man when there's a gun in your hand.
It's difficult to be a man and feel empowered when you're carrying a gun, which implies violence and aggression.

Oh, I feel sooooo...
I'm feeling a lot of emotions right now and am struggling to articulate them.

And this is my four leaf clover
I'm grasping onto a small hope or chance, like finding a four-leaf clover.

I'm on the line, one open mind, this is my four leaf clover
I'm taking a risk and being vulnerable by putting myself out there with an open mind, hoping for the best outcome.

(La la la la la, la la la la la, la la la la la la)

(La la la la la, la la la la la, la la la la la la)

(La la la la la, la la la la la, la la la la la la)

(La la la la la, la la la la la, la la la la la la)

(La la la la la, la la la la la) In my mind's eye (la la la la la la)
This part of the song is more musical than lyrical, indicating a shift in tone, possibly to reflect inner turmoil or confusion.

One little boy, one little man (La la la la la, la la la la la)
Once again, this part of the song doesn't convey any specific meaning but likely reflects the confusion and mixed emotions the artist is feeling.

Funny how... time flies
The artist is pondering how quickly time has passed and how confused and overwhelmed they feel in light of everything that's happened.
