Lyrics
I'm a junkie for you
I have a strong craving or dependency on you
'Cause I'd die to love you
I am willing to endure extreme circumstances to love you
I wake up in the evening
I wake up in the evening, suggesting a sense of disorientation or confusion
Dreaming of where she's been
I dream about where she has been, indicating curiosity or concern about her experiences
She's the prayer I bury (she's the prayer I bury)
She is a significant and sacred presence in my life, akin to a prayer that I keep hidden
Like the cross I carry
She is like a burden or responsibility that I carry, comparable to a cross
Heaven's in the mezzanine
Heaven, or a positive and ideal state, is in the mezzanine of their church in Aberdeen
Of our church in Aberdeen
Reference to a specific location, possibly symbolic, suggesting a connection to their relationship
I'll repent, maybe not
Expressing the possibility of repentance, but uncertainty about it
Hold a candle up to God
Symbolic gesture of devotion or plea to a higher power
If you want me you got me, baby
Commitment to the person; offering oneself completely
Let your body destroy and change me
Allowing the partner's influence to transform and impact the speaker
I'm a sin for the saint you make me
Acknowledging wrongdoing, portraying oneself as a sinner for the person they love
Let your body destroy and change me
Reiteration of the transformative power of the partner's body
I'm a junkie for you
Reiteration of being addicted or deeply attached to the person
'Cause I'd die to love you
Reiteration of the willingness to make sacrifices for love
I know I'm misbehaving
Acknowledging misbehavior or deviation from expected norms
If I'm not confessing
Suggesting a need for confession or admission of guilt
'Cause she's the prayer I bury (she's the prayer I bury)
Reiteration of the partner as a sacred and hidden aspect of the speaker's life
Like the cross I carry
Comparing the partner to a burden or responsibility similar to a cross
And Daddy's in the graveyard
Reference to the father being in the graveyard, possibly indicating a complex family dynamic
Digging through my doll parts
Suggesting a connection between the father's actions and the speaker's vulnerabilities
I'll repent, maybe not
Reiteration of the potential for repentance, with uncertainty
Hold a candle up to God
Symbolic act of holding a candle to God, seeking guidance or intervention
If you want me you got me, baby
Reaffirmation of complete commitment to the partner
Let your body destroy and change me
Embracing the transformative power of the partner's body once again
I'm a sin for the saint you make me
Acknowledging the conflicting nature of being both a sinner and a saint for the partner
Let your body destroy and change me
Reiterating the impact of the partner's body on personal transformation
Everybody preaches someone to believe in
Observation that everyone seeks someone to believe in
She's the blow up my nose
Comparing the partner to a stimulant, possibly indicating their invigorating or addictive nature
And the sun as it rose
Symbolic references to the partner as both a source of light and a new beginning
If you want me you got me, baby
Reaffirmation of complete commitment to the partner
Let your body destroy and change me
Embracing the transformative power of the partner's body once again
I'm a sin for the saint you make me
Acknowledging the conflicting nature of being both a sinner and a saint for the partner
Let your body destroy and change me
Reiterating the impact of the partner's body on personal transformation
