听歌学英语：Stuck on the Puzzle

       I’m not the kind of fool who’s gonna sit and sing to you about stars, girl
But last night I looked up into the dark half of the blue, and they’d gone backwards¹
Something in your magnetism² must have pissed them off
Forcing them to get an early night
I have been searching from the bottom to the top for such a sight
As the one I caught when I saw your

Fingers dimming the lights
Like you’re used to bein’ told that you’re trouble
And I spent all night stuck on the puzzle

Nobody I asked knew how we came to be the one to who you surrendered
Any man who wasn’t led way in to the other room, stood pretending
Something in your magnetism haven’t just made him drop
Whoever’s hand it was that he was holding
I have been searching from the bottom to the top for such a sight
As the one I caught when I saw your

Fingers dimming the lights
Like you’re used to bein’ told that you’re trouble
And I spent all night stuck on the puzzle

I tried to swim to the sand
But my feet got caught in the middle
And I thought I’d seen the light
But oh no!
I was just stuck on the puzzle
Stuck on the puzzle
