What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
'It feels like we could make something happen
2
That ain't ever happened before.'
3
'Let's never get bored
4
Of each other.'
5
'And let's always want more
6
Of each other.'
7
They lay on the floor with each other
8
Amazed by how right it felt
9
They smiled and they caught their breath
10
And they thought of nothing else
11
They lay there silent
12
Not touching
13
She's crying
14
Backs to each other
15
And he's sighing
16
Three days straight fighting
17
'I can't bear your self-importance.'
18
'I don't like you when you're like this.'
19
'You haven't even kissed me for days'
20
'How can I want to kiss you
21
When all your lips say
22
Is how shitty I've been and how little I care?'
23
'What are we doing this for?'
24
'I can't bear any more of your bitching.'
25
They sit there in the kitchen
26
They didn't look at each other
27
They just stared at the walls
28
And her head's in her hands
29
And the coffee pot falls to the floor
30
Now he is angry and smashing up tables
31
He was thinking:
32
'If I love you like I say
33
I would not treat you this way
34
If I love you like I think
35
I would not make such a stink
36
If this is what we had both hoped
37
I don't think I'd feel so choked
38
If I want more, how can I get it?
39
I'm only staying 'cause I'm scared
40
If I leave I'll regret it.'
41
Pete is at home, Becky is at work
42
He stares out the window
43
Trying not to let it hurt
44
He folds up the washing
45
He watches a bit of telly
46
And he makes himself some dinner
47
But he can't eat any
48
He knows it's her job and that she is working hard
49
But the thought of what she does kind of rips him apart
50
And every time they talk about it, it just turns into a row
51
She says 'If you trust me, I don't see how
52
This can be a problem,'
53
And he can't find the words to say -
54
I don't want your hands
55
On another man's vertebrae
56
He don't have a leg to stand on
57
He ain't earning
58
And she's got rent to pay
59
And books to buy
60
She is determined
61
To support herself
62
But he looks at his girlfriend
63
And feels like
64
He is in love with a whirlwind
65
She rips him to pieces every night
66
And every morning
67
He finds himself doubting things
68
That used to be important
69
He drifted from his mates and he lost contact with his brother
70
All they really had now was each other
71
Eventually he gave in, he said
72
'If you think it's right
73
Then go ahead and work
74
But please don't work tonight.'
75
Then she said:
76
'If you love me like you say
77
You would not push me away
78
If you love me like you think
79
You would not make such a stink
80
If this is what we had both hoped
81
I don't think that we'd feel so choked
82
If I want more, how can I get it?
83
You're only staying 'cause you're scared
84
If you leave you'll regret it.'
