Lyrics
Let’s try and be civil
Expressing a desire for civility in the relationship.
Let’s try and be friends
Suggesting an attempt to maintain a friendly connection.
But if that doesn’t work
Considering the possibility of the relationship not improving.
Let’s burn it all down
Expressing a drastic notion of ending things by destroying everything.
And start over again
Proposing a fresh start after the destruction of the existing situation.
Are you hearing me, darling
Checking if the message is being understood.
Am I coming in clear
Ensuring clear communication with the partner.
Let’s drop all the pretence
Suggesting honesty by abandoning pretense in the relationship.
The hints and bad habits
Encouraging the end of subtle indications and negative habits.
And get the fuck out of here
Expressing a strong desire to leave the current situation.
Cause I couldn’t sleep knowing we had a choice And I couldn’t speak knowing you weren’t hearing my voice But they’re only words and that’s all they’ll be If I never tell you and you never make your way back to me
Highlighting the difficulty of keeping silent when choices exist, emphasizing the impact of unspoken words on the relationship.
I know what you’re thinking
Addressing potential doubts or concerns the partner might have.
But who cares what they say
Rejecting the importance of others' opinions about the relationship.
We don’t really need
Stating that the couple only needs each other, dismissing external influences.
Much more than each other
Emphasizing the sufficiency of their connection.
Anyway
Reiterating the significance of their relationship above all else.
Cause life is for living
Advocating for a fulfilling life rather than mere survival.
It’s not enough to survive
Expressing the inadequacy of merely getting by without the partner.
I’m afraid that without you
Conveying fear of a life without the partner's presence.
Don’t think that we
Hinting at the potential dire consequences if they don't stay together.
Make it out alive
Reiterating the belief that survival is doubtful without each other.
Cause I couldn’t breathe knowing we had a choice And I couldn’t speak knowing you weren’t hearing my voice They’re only words and that’s all they’ll be
Repeating the difficulty of staying silent when choices exist, underscoring the impact of unspoken words.
If I never tell you and you never make your way back to me
