Could this song possible be about the phases of a one sided love obsession?
"Well, there's a light in your eye that keeps shining
Like a star that can't wait for night
I hate to think I been blinded, baby
Why can't I see you tonight?
And the warmth of your smile starts a burning
And the thrills of your touch give me fright
And I'm shaking so much, really yearning
Why don't you show up and make it alright?
It's alright"
This sounds like a definite infatuation with someone who randomly came into his life, and now he covets her attention, but he's not getting it or enough of it, so it starts making him uneasy and only want it more. Sometimes feelings like this can cloud your judgment and blind you to reality.
"And if you promised you'd love so completely
And you said you would always be true
You swore that you never would leave me, baby
Whatever happened to you?
And you thought it was only in movies
As you wish all your dreams would come true
Hey, it ain't the first time believe me, baby
I'm standing here feeling blue, blue
Ah, yes, I'm blue"
Could he possibly be describing what he want's to believe here? Often times in a one sided love obsession you want to believe the person you care for feels the same way back so badly you almost literally do believe it, even though reality might say otherwise. It's the second phrase that makes me think this here says "And you thought it was only in movies, As you wish all your dreams would come true". also the last line seems to suggest he knows it's not the first time this has happened to him.
"Now I will stand in the rain on the corner
I'll watch the people go shuffling downtown
Another ten minutes no longer
And then I'm turning around
The clock on the wall's moving slower
My heart it sinks to the ground
And the storm that I thought would blow over
Clouds the light of the love that I found"
This to me sounds like part where he waits and waits and wait for some kind of sign from the person he cares about but isn't getting it and facing the inevitable pain of heartbreak, after he had spent so much time trying to convince himself that this person he cares about would end his loneliness when he says "And the storm that I thought would blow over, Clouds the light of the love that I found"
"Now my body is starting to quiver
And the palms of my hands getting wet
I've got no reason to doubt you baby,
It's all a terrible mess
I'll run in the rain till I'm breathless
When I'm breathless I'll run till I drop, hey
The thoughts of a fool's kind of careless
I'm just a fool waiting on the wrong block, oh yeah
Light of the love that I found..."
This is probably one of my favorite verses in this song. This to me sounds like he knows he needs to let this person go but still doesn't want to and still wants to believe that person could have feelings for him, despite his major suffering. "I'll run in the rain till I'm breathless. When I'm breathless I'll run till I drop" Feelings like that can be really stubborn and difficult to let go of at first but eventually you learn to pick yourself up and try again with someone else. "The thoughts of a fool's kind of careless. I'm just a fool waiting on the wrong block, oh yeah". This sounds to me like he knew at the back of his mind he probably fell for the wrong person for all the wrong reasons.
Just my thoughts on it. Amazing song. Really love the samba breakdown with the ukuleles.
@FOH86 When I heard this wonderful song, I thought it was an off take of Romeo & Juliette. The play was all about love, except Romeo was so stupid he couldn't tell the difference between someone who was sleeping and someone who was dead, so he killed himself. Since Juliette had nothing better to do, she did the same. What a waste of two young lives. The same applies here in that the singer is going to run until he can't breath, and then run until he "drops" dead. Not a happy ending in either case.

@FOH86 I agree but actually though the meaning can be whatever you want it to be..If it tells a story to your heart in the song whether it be because of a failed relationship or He was on the wrong corner waiting,either way this song speaks volume.I happen to agree with you about the meaning but I can also hear where he was standing on the wrong corner and missed his chance at being with her. Just my opinion :)

@FOH86 This song to me sounds like he is doubting himself and her love as he is waiting for her to meet him. At the very end of the song...

She has him so scatter brained that he was waiting for her at the wrong meeting spot is the message this song sends.
