Head Over Heels
The Washboard Union Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
back in my heart again
Every time you give me that look,
game over I give in
I love the way you get to me
You're like all I ever wanted,
wrapped up in what I need.
Tangled and tied,
Over the edge,
out of my mind
Spinning in circles
don't know what you do
I hopelessly helpless,
head over heels over you
There you go burning that fire,
Baby in my soul
Your lighter held up high for me
at a sold out show
You're the perfect song so I sing along
And I turn it up loud
and I play it again and again
Hopelessy falling,
Tangled and tied,
Over the edge,
out of my mind
Spinning in circles
don't know what you do
I'm hopelessly helpless,
head over heels over you
I'm head over heels over you
Stuck on you girl
Thats no line
I couldn't quit you
If I tried
Hopelessy falling,
Tangled and tied,
Over the edge,
and out of my mind
Hopelessy falling,
Tangled and tied,
Over the edge,
out of my mind
Spinning in circles
Don't know what you do
I'm hopelessly helpless,
Head over heels over you
Im hopelessly helpless,
Head over heels over you
I'm hopelessly helpless,
Head over heels over you
The Washboard Union's song 'Head Over Heels' talks about being in a state of complete infatuation and being helpless to resist the person they're falling for. The lyrics talk about the intensity of their feelings, using phrases like "hopelessly falling" and "tangled and tied" to describe the depth of their emotions. The chorus repeats the phrase "head over heels over you" to emphasize the overwhelming nature of their attraction.
The first verse describes how the person they're falling for can easily win them over with just a look, using the metaphor of putting "boom-boom" back in their heart. The second verse focuses more on the qualities of that person that make them so irresistible, using the metaphor of a "perfect song" that they keep playing on repeat.
Overall, the song portrays a sense of being completely swept away by someone, unable to control how they feel. The upbeat country sound and catchy melody add to this feeling of being carried away by the music and emotion of the moment.
