Lyrics
I hold you closely you push me away
I reach out to you, but you resist and distance yourself
I want forever you just want today
I desire a lasting commitment, while you seek only the present moment
Give me your fingers wash out your mouth
Share your thoughts with me, cleanse your speech
Bite off my tongue on this bloody couch
Metaphorically, be silent and endure pain in our relationship
But I don't blame you
Despite the challenges, I don't hold you responsible
You're always right
Emphasizing that you consistently have the correct perspective
I'm like a bad day
Comparing oneself to a bad day amidst your good nights
On your good good night
Acknowledging your positive times, contrasting with my negative influence
I hear the tick of a bomb
Sensing tension and danger, possibly in the relationship
All your hair in a fuse
Symbolizing a combustible situation, with hair as a fuse
You ask me for a light
You request a light, possibly seeking a solution to dispel sadness
To blow away these blues
Asking for support to overcome emotional troubles
Run me a bath, then plug me in
A metaphorical plea for comfort and immersion in a soothing experience
I'm like a T.V. learning to swim
Comparing oneself to a television, learning to navigate difficulties
But I don't blame you
Despite challenges, I don't hold you responsible for our issues
You're always right
Reiterating that you consistently have the correct perspective
I'm like a bad day
Continuing the metaphor of being a negative presence on good nights
On your good good night
Emphasizing the juxtaposition of negativity in your positive moments
I hold you closely you push me away
Repeating the theme of closeness met with resistance
I want forever you just want today
Reiterating the desire for a long-lasting connection versus your transient interest
Give me your fingers wash out your mouth
Asking for openness and honesty, cleansing communication
Bite off my tongue on this bloody couch
Metaphorically expressing the pain of being silenced in our relationship
But I don't blame you
Despite challenges, I don't hold you responsible for our issues
You're always right
Affirming that you consistently have the correct perspective
I'm like a bad day
Continuing the metaphor of being a negative presence on good nights
On your good good good good night
Emphasizing the negativity persisting on your good nights
