This song is interpreted so many ways, but I think it is basically about a girl who likes to tease, that is giving him hope of a relationship that's just not gonna happen because of a girl that is leading him on. He talks of bad dreams, probably about the girl, that make him crazy, they make him want to fall. She calls him on the phone and says she is alone but only when he isn't near. Cold hearted...In other words, I'm available, but wait, your far away so I guess we can't see each other. He believes all of her lies to keep the dream alive.

This song is so haunting and could and should be considered one of the best songs of the 80's. His vocals are on key perfectly and the song has such a beautiful melody. The only negative is that crazy rock "bridge" in the middle, but then soon picks back up with the great slow ballad with "Now I close my eyes, and I wonder why...." This is where he seemingly realizes what type of person she is and he is then angry at himself. That's just my take on one of my all-time favorite songs.
