crawling back to you arctic monkeys letra

He realises his regret a little while after the break up, after he sees that she is living life in far better condition than he his but, possibly true or in a delusive state, he believes that the feeling could be mutual ('does this feeling flow both ways').He is also feeling guilty for breaking up with her and so he suppressors his feelings to the extent that this love is driving him crazy, so he envisions his own situation in songs he hears. He broke up with her for reasons unknown and thought he could get over her with ease however, soon learnt that it was easier said than done. General CommentThis is obviously a song open for interpretation (as seen by previous opposing opinions), therefore I feel obliged to give my own opinion.This is song about a man, clearly obsessed with his ex-girlfriend whom he broke up with and is thus metaphorically 'crawling back to you'. is the ex a different person, have they moved on? (perhaps assumes initially when breaking up the ex would have a tough time coming to terms with it but is doing much better than he/she is)'Crawling back to you' - acting in desperation for forgiveness'Do you want me crawling back to you' - is that what it takes for a second chance'Have you got the guts?' - is the ex brave enough to give that person a 2nd chance after last time (never go back as they say)'If your hearts still open?' - are they still in that place before he/she left them'What time it shuts' - is there time to convince them they should get back together if the ex still has them feelings'Have you no idea that you're in deep?' - does the ex realise how much they are missed'How many secrets can you keep?' My InterpretationI could be going off a bit too much with this one, but it seems to me to be a bit deeper than people take it.On the surface, it's a song of 'I have feelings for you, but you may or may not have feelings for me. Maybe they were on the verge of something more, and they'd say stuff to each other ('baby we both know that the nights were mainly made for things you can't say tomorrow day')At one point he knew she liked him back ('been wondering if your heart's STILL open.' He just can't get her out of his head.I don't think they were ever together exclusively.

Have you got color in your cheeks?Do you ever get that fear that you can't shift the typeThat sticks around like summat in your teeth?Are there some aces up your sleeve?Have you no idea that you're in deep?I've dreamt about you nearly every night this weekHow many secrets can you keep?' Cause there's this tune I foundThat makes me think of you somehow and I play it on repeatUntil I fall asleep, spillin' drinks on my settee(Do I wanna know?) If this feelin' flows both ways?(Sad to see you go) Was sorta hopin' that you'd stay(Baby, we both know) That the nights were mainly madeFor sayin' things that you can't say tomorrow da圜rawlin' back to youEver thought of callin' whenYou've had a few?' My InterpretationThis song absolutely kills me- every line is laced with such pure desire and longing.He is infatuated, almost in a lust-filled fever: 'I dreamt about you nearly every night this week' or 'there's this tune I found that makes me think of you somehow and I play it on repeat until I fall asleep'. I've dreamt about you nearly every night this week How many secrets can you keep? 'Cause there's this tune I found That makes me think of you somehow And I play it on repeat Until I fall asleep Spilling drinks on my settee(Do I wanna know) If this feeling flows both ways? (Sad to see you go) Was sorta hoping that you’d stay (Baby, we both know) That the nights were mainly made For saying things that you can’t say tomorrow da圜rawling back to you Ever thought of calling when you've had a few? 'Cause I always do Maybe I'm too busy being yours to fall for somebody new Now, I've thought it through Crawling back to youSo have you got the guts? Been wondering if your heart's still open And if so, I wanna know what time it shuts Simmer down and pucker up I'm sorry to interrupt, it's just I'm constantly on the cusp Of trying to kiss you I don't know if you feel the same as I do But we could be together if you wanted to(Do I wanna know) If this feeling flows both ways? (Sad to see you go) Was sorta hoping that you’d stay (Baby, we both know) That the nights were mainly made For saying things that you can’t say tomorrow da圜rawling back to you (crawling back to you) Ever thought of calling when you've had a few? (You've had a few?) 'Cause I always do ('cause I always do) Maybe I'm too (maybe I'm too busy) Busy being yours (being yours) To fall for somebody new Now, I've thought it through Crawling back to you(Do I wanna know) If this feeling flows both ways?
