“Climbing up on solsbury hillI could see the city lightWind was blowing, time stood stillEagle flew out of the nightHe was something to observeCame in close, I heard a voiceStanding stretching every nerveI had to listen had no choiceI did not believe the informationJust had to trust imaginationMy heart was going boom boom, boomSon, he said, grab your things, Ive come to take you home.To keeping silence I resignedMy friends would think I was a nutTurning water into wineOpen doors would soon be shutSo I went from day to dayTho my life was in a ruttill I thought of what Id sayWhich connection I should cutI was feeling part of the sceneryI walked right out of the machineryMy heart was going boom boom boomHey, he said, grab your things, Ive come to take you home.Yeah back homeWhen illusion spin her netIm never where I want to beAnd liberty she pirouetteWhen I think that I am freeWatched by empty silhouettesWho close their eyes, but still can seeNo one taught them etiquetteI will show another meToday I dont need a replacementIll tell them what the smile on my face meantMy heart was going boom boom boomHey, I said, you can keep my things, theyve come to take me home.”

“...My grandpa has always told us that you know you're in love when your heart goes "boom." The way he explained this "boom" is that it's not the giddy feeling you get when you first meet someone; it's deeper than that. It's more of a low, bellowing boom that resonates in your body the moment you realize you need someone, you love someone. It's more a boooom than a boom! I have yet to feel it.”
