Lyrics
You got the key from under the mat
You received access to my trust easily
Took off your coat and hung up your hat
You settled in comfortably, making yourself at home
I burnt my fingers trying to help
I suffered while trying to assist you
You burnt the wood, you burnt the wood, you burnt the wood
You caused destruction or harm, possibly metaphorically represented by burning wood
We hid under blankets of ignorance
We ignored reality, finding comfort in ignorance
'Cause that was the only time that it all made sense
That blissful ignorance was the only time our situation seemed clear
You gave me a list of your promises
You provided a list of commitments or assurances
Listen to this, listen to this, listen to this
An emphasis on paying attention to these promises
And I couldn't believe my eyes
I was astonished by what I saw
I couldn't believe my ears
I was shocked by what I heard
I couldn't believe my luck
Unexpected good fortune left me in disbelief
I couldn't believe you're here
Your presence was so improbable that it seemed unreal
And I couldn't believe my eyes
Reiteration of the disbelief in what is seen
I couldn't believe my ears
Reiteration of the disbelief in what is heard
But I'm looking at you now
Despite the disbelief, the person is presently observing you
And I can't believe we're here
Expressing amazement at the current shared situation
You never kept anyone for long
Your history indicates difficulty in maintaining relationships
I was the worst at being alone
I struggled the most when left alone
You came around when I needed you
You appeared when I needed support
Let's give in to this, give in to this, give in to this
Suggesting surrendering to the present circumstances
And I couldn't believe my eyes
Reiteration of astonishment related to sight
I couldn't believe my ears
Reiteration of astonishment related to hearing
I couldn't believe my luck
Reiteration of unexpected luck
I couldn't believe you're here
Reiteration of disbelief in your presence
And I couldn't believe my eyes
Reiteration of disbelief in what is seen
I couldn't believe my ears
Reiteration of disbelief in what is heard
But I'm looking at you now
Despite disbelief, acknowledging the current reality of being with you
And I can't believe we're here
Expressing disbelief at the shared situation
And I can't believe we're here
Further emphasis on the disbelief in the current situation
And I can't believe we're here
Reiteration of amazement at the present circumstance
You care for me
A declaration of your care for me
You ask of me
You make requests of me
I'll do it
An assurance that I am willing to comply
I couldn't believe my ears
Reiteration of disbelief related to hearing something surprising
I couldn't believe my luck
Reiteration of unexpected good fortune
I couldn't believe you're here
Reiteration of disbelief in your presence
And I couldn't believe my eyes
Reiteration of astonishment related to sight
I couldn't believe my ears
Reiteration of astonishment related to hearing
But I'm looking at you now
Despite disbelief, acknowledging the current reality of being with you
And I can't believe we're here
Expressing disbelief at the shared situation
And I couldn't believe my eyes
Reiteration of astonishment related to sight
I couldn't believe we're here
Reiterating disbelief in the current situation
