Breakin' my back just to know your name
Seventeen tracks and I've had it with this game
A breakin' my back just to know your name
But heaven ain't close in a place like this
Anything goes but don't blink, you might miss
'Cause heaven ain't close in a place like this
I said heaven ain't close in a place like this
Bring it back down, bring it back down tonight
Never thought I'd let a rumor ruin my moonlight
[Chorus]
Well somebody told me you had a boyfriend
Who looked like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
It's not confidential, I've got potential
Ready let's roll onto something new
Takin' it's toll then I'm leaving without you
'Cause heaven ain't close in a place like this
I said heaven ain't close in a place like this
Bring it back down, bring it back down tonight
Never thought I'd let a rumor ruin my moonlight
[Chorus]
A rushing, rushing around
Pace yourself for me
I said maybe, baby, please
But I just don't know now
When all I want to do is try
[Chorus]
A rushing, rushing around
Somebody told me you had a boyfriend
Who looked like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
It's not confidential, I've got potential
A rushing, rushing around
Somebody told me you had a boyfriend
Who looked like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
It's not confidential, I've got potential
A rushing, rushing around
Seventeen tracks and I've had it with this game
A breakin' my back just to know your name
But heaven ain't close in a place like this
Anything goes but don't blink, you might miss
'Cause heaven ain't close in a place like this
I said heaven ain't close in a place like this
Bring it back down, bring it back down tonight
Never thought I'd let a rumor ruin my moonlight
[Chorus]
Well somebody told me you had a boyfriend
Who looked like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
It's not confidential, I've got potential
Ready let's roll onto something new
Takin' it's toll then I'm leaving without you
'Cause heaven ain't close in a place like this
I said heaven ain't close in a place like this
Bring it back down, bring it back down tonight
Never thought I'd let a rumor ruin my moonlight
[Chorus]
A rushing, rushing around
Pace yourself for me
I said maybe, baby, please
But I just don't know now
When all I want to do is try
[Chorus]
A rushing, rushing around
Somebody told me you had a boyfriend
Who looked like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
It's not confidential, I've got potential
A rushing, rushing around
Somebody told me you had a boyfriend
Who looked like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
It's not confidential, I've got potential
A rushing, rushing around

"Anything goes but don't blink, you might miss" Even after hours recording you have to stay alert or you will screw up a track.
"Bring it back down, bring it back down tonight" Get your groove going on the track you're recording "Never thought I'd let a rumor ruin my moonlight" When recording don't let your thoughts become side tracked.
The chorus is a metaphor. After spending hours on a song, somebody told you the song sounds too much like like a song that was written by another artist. "It's not confidential" it's been playing on the radio. But don't worry, with a bit of re-write your song as potential.
"[Chorus]
Well somebody told me you had a boyfriend
Who looked like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
It's not confidential, I've got potential"
Ready let's roll onto something new (Move to the next track)
Takin' it's toll then I'm leaving without you (Just too burned out to finish a tune) because it's been hell "Cause heaven ain't close in a place like this"
"A rushing, rushing around" meeting the demands of the record label.
"Pace yourself for me - I said maybe, baby, please" Trying to buy time from the label.
"But I just don't know now - When all I want to do is try" After awhile you do want to give up bu something inside keeps driving you.
Studio work isn't al fun and ames...
I know that feeling of writing something, only to realize a few weeks later that it sounds uncannily similar to another artist's tune. The more years that pass, the more music is made and the fewer original melodies we'll have..maybe that's why so much of the music and movies industries are comprised of rehashes nowadays.

I have been trying very hard to catch your attention.
Seventeen songs have past and I am tired of trying.
Seriously, I blink and you're already talking to someone else.
It's pretty much hell being ignored by you
Well somebody told me you had a boyfriend
Who looked like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
It's not confidential, I've got potential
(Speaking franticly and with a panic) so our past relationships have been people who look very similar. Clearly we have some sort of connection. (Which he says because he is running out of time)
Ready let's roll onto something new
Takin' it's toll then I'm leaving without you
'Cause heaven ain't close in a place like this
I said heaven ain't close in a place like this
Bring it back down, bring it back down tonight
Never thought I'd let a rumor ruin my moonlight
I'm trying to get over the fact that you left without me (either alone or with someone else perhaps).
Nevertheless, I liked you and it is painful knowing I lost you.
This place is still hell.
