“So you’re on the prowl wondering whether she left already or not”
>>he’s searching for this girl so he can talk to her. he’s hoping she hasn’t already left yet.

“Leather jacket, collar popped like Antennae. ”
>>he’s describing how he looks. he’s dressing like he’s confident so that this girl will find him intriguing.

“Never knowing when to stop
Sunglasses indoors, par for the course
Lights in the floors and sweat on the walls
Cages and poles”
>>he’s describing the scene he’s in.

“Call off the search for your soul, or put it on hold again
She’s having a sly indoor smoke”
>>she’s so intriguing to him, that he will have to put his own soul searching on pause so he can find out more about her.

“and she calls the folks who run this- her oldest friends
Sipping a drink and laughing at imaginary jokes”
>>just a filler

“As all the signals are sent, her eyes invite you to approach
And it seems as though those lumps in your throat
That you just swallowed have got you going”
>>he’s looking at her from across the room secretly sending her messages saying he wants to talk to her. she picks up these messages and looks at him in a way that says “come here” so as he’s walking up to her, he gets nervous (the lumps in his throat)

[Chorus:]
“Come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
Number one party anthem”
>>this is him attempting to calm himself down. he’s telling himself to not be nervous about talking to this girl.

“She’s a certified mind blower, knowing full well that I don’t”
>>she blows peoples minds with her magnificent nature but Alex acknowledges that he’s just average. “knowing … that I don’t” is him saying “I know I don’t blow peoples minds”

“May suggest there’s somewhere from which you might know her
Just to get the ball to roll”
>>he’s making up stories to talk to her. like going up to someone saying “do I know you?” even though u don’t.

“Drunken monologues, confused because
It’s not like I’m falling in love I just want you to do me no good
You look like you could”
>>he’s babbling and babbling to this girl because he thinks he really likes her and there’s something about her that’s strangely appealing.

[Chorus 2x]

“The look of love - the rush of blood
The "She’s with me” - the Gallic shrug"
>>looking at her makes his blood pump and his heart beat faster and some guy is saying “she’s with me” but Alex doesn’t care because he finds her so attractive.

“The shutterbugs - the Camera Plus
The black and white - the colour dodge
The good time girls - the cubicles
The house of fun - the number one party anthem”
>>he’s comparing havin a good time to being with her.

so basically it’s about him craving that mineral
