Lyrics
Take me in your arms again
Expressing a desire to be embraced once more.
Wash me in your eyes
Desiring to be cleansed or purified through the gaze of the other person.
Tie me to the house again
Yearning to be emotionally connected to the partner by being tied to the home, symbolizing security.
Love me 'till love dies
Wishing for love to endure until the end of life.
Blame me for everything
Accepting responsibility for all aspects of the relationship, not just the negative ones.
Not just the bad times
Acknowledging accountability for both good and bad experiences in the relationship.
Whispering sweet nothings in your ear
Engaging in intimate communication and expressing affection.
Just like a dead bird sings
Comparing the act of whispering sweet words to the eerie sound of a dead bird singing, hinting at a melancholic tone.
Look into my face again

I can see a hole in the sky

As wide as your smile

As wide as your smile

It's not that you've gone away
Clarifying that the partner has not physically departed but feels emotionally distant or unfamiliar.
It's that I've never met you
Expressing a sense of not truly knowing the partner despite the physical presence.
But I wish you'd come back to me

Just like the night turns blue

Just like the night turns blue

Just like a dead bird sings
