Shiver

The speaker describes a relationship that feels exciting but unstable. The other person brings joy and hurt, and the two seem unsure how to act together. The speaker moves from frustration toward intense attraction: hearing the person’s name causes a physical reaction, and the speaker keeps thinking about getting closer.

Several expressions make these feelings vivid. “Build me up” and “knock me down” suggest that the other person raises the speaker’s hopes and then disappoints them. “Queen of run-around” implies evasive or inconsistent behavior. The speaker’s “shiver” suggests a strong bodily response, which could be excitement, nervousness, or both. “Under your skin” usually means deeply affecting someone; here, it also carries a suggestive sense of wanting intimacy.

The lyrics mix desire with awareness that the relationship may be unhealthy or confusing. The speaker admits that the other person’s words are “not true,” yet says they believe them anyway, hinting at vulnerability or self-deception. “Finding a new way in” could mean trying a different approach to win the person’s affection, but it also sounds persistent and possibly possessive. The song does not clearly say whether this connection is mutual or whether the speaker’s longing will lead to closeness or further frustration.
