Lyrics
The walls look the same
The physical appearance of the walls remains unchanged.
The curtains haven't changed
The curtains have not been replaced or altered.
Still make the bed
The routine of making the bed continues as before.
Like you used you
Performing tasks as if following your habits or actions.
Stain from the red wine
A reference to a past incident involving spilled red wine.
You spilt on the carpet has faded
The stain on the carpet from the red wine has faded over time.
Remember the laughs
Recollection of shared laughter.
As you pulled out the jar
Memories of taking out a jar to collect spare change.
To keep change in
The purpose of keeping change is not explicitly mentioned.
For when we replace it
Preserving change for a future replacement, perhaps of something significant.
No furniture
No furniture is present in the described scene.
So we spent the night
Spending a night on the floor due to the absence of furniture.
On the floor
Reiteration of spending time on the floor due to lack of furniture.
I guess I became
Expressing a change in the speaker's identity or character.
Less of what you wanted
The speaker feels they became less desirable to the other person.
Weeks worth of care
Investment of time and effort over weeks to revitalize old furniture.
We reupholstered old chairs
Reupholstering old chairs as part of the renovation process.
We sanded and stained this old table
Sanding and staining an old table as part of the renovation process.
Covering cracks in the walls we made
Addressing and concealing the damage caused to the walls during the renovation.
We were asking for trouble
Acknowledging that the renovation efforts invited challenges or problems.
I guess I became
Reiteration of the speaker feeling less desired by the other person.
Less of what you wanted
Empty line, possibly emphasizing the recurring theme of diminished desirability.
The walls look the same
The walls still appear the same, haunting the speaker with memories.
Yeah, they sweetly haunt me
The memories associated with the walls evoke bittersweet emotions.
Together we changed
Highlighting a joint effort in the past that led to a change.
Yeah we slipped out of step with each other
Describing a gradual divergence or discord in the relationship.
As the years perform
Reflecting on the passage of time and its impact on the relationship.
Their terrible dance
Characterizing the years as performing a dance, possibly implying challenges.
You slip from my grip to the past
The speaker losing grip on the past, suggesting a sense of detachment.
