Story Behind The Song

Inspired by a similar situation that one of my Wifes friends got into.

Song Description

Luckless female stuck in a rut. Life becoming safe,tedious and depressing. Suddenly this bloke with a lot of character and charm arrives and it's just the tonic for her. She falls in love against her friends wishes as this bloke has an unpredictable nature and bad reputation. She normally relies on her inhibition as a safety net not to fall into such situations but her inhibition deserts her (my inhibition lost me). In this situation normally she would be influenced by friends or what other people think and walk out of the situation but infact this man makes her feel alive (i was scared of looking down,now i trapeze acroos the town, i don't look back). She's head over heels in love with a new found confidence and not a care for what others think.The longer the relationship continues the more this relationship seems right to her (don't wanna wake up on the other side and fall into predictable arms). The end lyrics suggest a little vulnerability kicking in(I don't look back or I'll fall from here) but she's happy and still in love.

Lyrics

was drivin' round in circles nothing' jumpin out the stereo
was packin' up for winter when the sun was just about to show

then you came without a warning
the danger signs just blinded my eyes
heard my distant friends a calling
but I was wrapped up in your flames so high

oh you took me to the edge
my inhibitions led then lost me (you said don't look back)
I was scared of looking down
now I trapeze across the town just watch me (I don't look back)

I feel I've been around the world hanging off your merry go round
It's difficult to fall off when your feet are firmly in the clouds

then you came without a warning
the danger signs just blinded my eyes
heard my distant friends a calling
but I was wrapped up in your flames so high

oh you took me too the edge
my inhibitions led then lost me (you said don't look back)
I was scared of looking down
now I trapeze across the town just watch me

don't wanna wake up on the other side
and fall into predictable arms
I've fallen for your, your dangerous charm

you came without a warning
the danger signs just blinded my eyes
heard my distant friends a calling
but I was wrapped up in your flames so high

oh you took me too the edge
my inhibitions led then lost me (you said don't look back)
I was scared of looking down
now I trapeze across this town just watch me (I don't look back)

now I don't look back
or I'll fall from here (I don't look back)
no I don't look back
or I'll fall from here (now I don't look back)
