Lyrics
It always starts like this
Commencement of a recurring pattern
Get my hopes up on a good day
Optimism on positive days
We slide into a good place
Entering a positive state
And like clockwork you change face
Consistent change in behavior
Guess we're not allowed to get too high
Limitations preventing reaching great heights
Every time I feel the rush
Sensation of excitement
You crawl back like you're afraid
Return with reluctance or fear
Of new heights
Fear of new, elevated experiences
Ohh oh, you're a murderer
Labeling the partner as a destructive force
Killer, killer, killer of our love
-Ohh oh, you're a murderer
-Killer, killer, killer of our love
-(Ohh oh, you're a murderer, murderer)
Reiteration of the partner's destructive nature
(You're a murderer of our love
-(Love, love, love, love)
-(Love, love, love, love)
-(Love, love, love, love)
-Of our
Reference to shared love
Killer, killer, killer of our love
Reaffirmation of the partner's destructive role
We seem to have a thing for getting blazed
Pattern of engaging in risky behavior
Can't let it grow, can't let it grow now
Inability to let love flourish
No evergreens on my grass
Metaphor for the absence of lasting love
But I let you into my garden
Allowing the partner into one's life repeatedly
Again and again
Repetition of letting the partner in
Again and again
-Again and again
-Ohh oh, you're a murderer
Reiteration of the partner as a murderer of love
Killer, killer, killer of our love
-Ohh oh, you're a murderer
-Killer, killer, killer of our love
-(Ohh oh, you're a murderer, murderer)
Continued emphasis on the destructive nature
(You're a murderer of our love
-(Love, love, love, love)
-(Love, love, love, love)
-(Love, love, love, love)
-(Of our)
Reiteration of shared love
Killer, killer, killer of our love
Final confirmation of the partner's destructive role
Ohh oh, you're a murderer
Reaffirmation of the partner's destructive nature
Killer, killer, killer of our love
-Ohh oh, you're a murderer
-Killer, killer, killer of our love
