Mild romantic longing, feeling misunderstood
Detailed Analysis
These lyrics describe a person's emotional connection to someone named Harvey, whom others don't understand or approve of. The narrator expresses longing, waiting for Harvey's call, and defending their relationship against others' skepticism ('everyone thinks I'm crazy'). The imagery of 'barking at the moon amid an empty street' adds a poetic, slightly whimsical tone. There is no explicit language, sexual content, violence, or drug references. The themes are purely emotional — longing, romantic devotion, and feeling misunderstood. This is consistent with mild romantic longing appropriate for all but the youngest audiences.

Lyrics
Some people think I'm acting worse for wear Suffice to say this is a quaint affair But no one really knows me like Harvey And once you've met him I'm sure you'll agree (Yeah I get it) (You wanna know) (Who he is) (Where we go) (Yeah I get it) (You wanna see) (What it is) (Him and me) Harvey Nobody knows what I see Nobody knows I'm waiting Waiting for you to call Harvey Nobody knows what I see Everyone thinks I'm crazy Crazy for you, oh boy Barked at the moon amid an empty street We felt the remnants of the evening heat Said Harvey let me be the one to say I wouldn't dream this any other way (Yeah I get it) (You wanna know) (Who he is) (Where we go) (Yeah I get it) (You wanna see) (What it is) (Him and me) Harvey Nobody knows what I see Nobody knows I'm waiting Waiting for you to call Harvey Nobody knows what I see Everyone thinks I'm crazy Crazy for you, oh boy Harvey Nobody knows what I see Everyone thinks I'm crazy Crazy for you, oh boy Harvey Nobody knows what I see Nobody knows I'm waiting Waiting for you to call Harvey Nobody knows what I see Everyone thinks I'm crazy Crazy for you, oh boy
