The song "Into My Life" by Colin Hay is about a person who is waiting for someone they care about to come back into their life. The protagonist is waiting for their lover, who they describe as having big black eyes and a wicked smile. They are waiting for this person to return and be a part of their life again. The song talks about the protagonist waiting for this person in different scenarios, such as staring at the fire or looking at the time. Despite feeling the howling wind as the night closes in, they continue to wait. The protagonist even offers to pour their lover a drink, trying to entice them to come inside. The lyrics suggest that the protagonist is willing to do anything to make this person happy despite feeling like they are waiting in vain. They pick their lover up in a white car, but it seems that they never quite light up the fire between them. Overall, the song is about longing and waiting for someone to return who has had a significant impact on the protagonist's life. Despite their efforts, it's unclear whether this person will ever truly come back into their life.
