Lyrics
Let the dog out back
Metaphorically expressing frustration or releasing a burden by letting go of something bothersome, akin to releasing a dog.
Don't make me ask again
An assertive request not to repeat a question or action, indicating impatience or annoyance.
Don't roll your eyes at me, the neighbors can see in
Addressing a partner's dismissive behavior, emphasizing the visibility of the situation to others.
You're lousy at your job
Critiquing the partner's inadequacy in their responsibilities or role.
I'm lousy in the home
Acknowledging one's own shortcomings within the relationship or domestic sphere.
Looking back we both knew, that this all was wrong
Reflecting on the realization that the relationship was fundamentally flawed from the beginning.
We chip away
Describing the gradual erosion or deterioration of the relationship.
So good at holding our breath
Highlighting the ability to endure difficulties silently.
So let's toast to let time take the rest of our love
Suggesting a symbolic toast to the passage of time, indicating a desire to move on from the relationship.
The rest of our choices 'till only there's just you and me
Contemplating the narrowing down of choices in life until only the partner remains.
But when will that be
Pondering when the exclusivity of the relationship will be achieved.
Do you ever look away and look back at me
Questioning the partner's perception and attention in the relationship.
Not knowing what you'll find but hoping you'll see
Expressing uncertainty about the partner's discoveries when looking closely but hoping for positive realizations.
A woman who, will help you do, everything you don't want to
Describing an ideal woman who supports and complements, contrasting with the speaker's identity.
But thats not me
Rejecting the notion that the speaker fulfills the role described in the previous line.
We chip away
Reiterating the theme of gradual deterioration in the relationship.
So good at holding our breath
Emphasizing the endurance and silence in facing relationship challenges.
So let's toast to let time take the rest of our love
Proposing a toast to signify acceptance of the inevitable decline of love.
The rest of our choices 'till only there's just you and me
Continuing to contemplate the reduction of choices until only the couple remains.
But when will that be
Repeating the question of when exclusivity in the relationship will be achieved.
The days are long the nights go on
Describing the tediousness of the days and the persistent nature of a cowardly attitude.
A coward and his coward's song
Associating the nights with a coward and his song, suggesting a lack of courage and authenticity in the relationship.
Are all thats going on
Highlighting the prevalence of cowardice and insincerity in the relationship.
And nothing in reality
Stating that nothing in reality is sustaining the relationship for a significant duration.
Is holing you or holding me for long
Suggesting a lack of substantial connection or commitment holding the partners together.
We chip away
Reiterating the theme of gradual erosion in the relationship.
So good at holding our breath
Reemphasizing the ability to endure challenges without addressing them directly.
So let's toast to let time take the rest of our love

The rest of our choices 'till only there's just you and me
Continuing to contemplate the reduction of choices until only the couple remains.
We slip away

So good at playing pretend

So let's toast to the end of our dreams coming true
