Show me, show me, show me how you do that trick The one that makes me scream, she said The one that makes me laugh, she said And threw her arms around my neck Show me how you do it And I promise you, I promise that I'll run away with you I'll run away with you Spinning on that dizzy edge I kissed her face, I kissed her head And dreamed of all the different ways I had to make her glow Why are you so far away, she said Why won't you ever know That I'm in love with you That I'm in love with you? You, soft and only You, lost and lonely You, strange as angels Dancing in the deepest oceans Twisting in the water You're just like a dream You're just like a dream Daylight licked me into shape I must have been asleep for days And moving lips to breathe her name I opened up my eyes I find myself alone, alone Alone, above a raging sea That stole the only girl I loved And drowned her deep inside of me You, soft and only You, lost and lonely You, just like Heaven

A versão instrumental da música foi usada como tema do programa de TV francês Les Enfants du Rock antes mesmo de as letras serem finalizadas, tornando a melodia familiar para milhões de europeus antes do lançamento oficial.
Robert Smith escreveu a letra inspirado em uma viagem à praia que fez no passado com sua futura esposa, experiências essa que também serviram de base para a filmagem do videoclipe.
O baterista Boris Williams acelerou o tempo da faixa e adicionou uma introdução de bateria que inspirou Smith a fazer a entrada dos instrumentos um a um, em sequência, durante as sessões na França.
Smith reconheceu semelhanças estruturais entre a música e o hit "Another Girl, Another Planet", lançado em 1979 pela banda The Only Ones, enquanto desenvolvia os acordos e a melodia.
A canção se tornou o primeiro sucesso comercial do The Cure nos Estados Unidos, atingindo a posição 40 nas paradas da Billboard em 1988.
Para gerar material para o álbum Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Smith impôs a si mesmo uma rotina rigorosa de escrever música por 15 dias de cada mês, período durante o qual criou a base da faixa.
