Lyrics
What was I thinking of
Reflecting on past actions and decisions
Making those eyes wet and weary
Regretting causing emotional distress
What was I doing with her photograph
Pondering the significance of keeping her photo close
Stapled upon my chest
Symbolic attachment to her, displayed physically
Trying to look dignified
Attempting to appear composed during a vulnerable moment
As we pick up our clothes from the floor
Recalling an intimate encounter, picking up aftermath
I said that I´ve changed my mind
Expressing a change of perspective
Don't want to wait and see anymore
Rejecting the wait-and-see approach
Cause every little gesture
Emphasizing the significance of small actions
Told a little truth
Suggesting honesty in subtle behaviors
About the way she was feeling
Revealing the true emotions she concealed
She was pulling out the loose threat on her nylon skirt
Describing a gesture indicating vulnerability
She was eating far too much chocolate
Highlighting her coping mechanism (chocolate)
And every time she said she really didn't mind
Indicating she was suppressing true feelings
She was biting her bottom lip
Signifying nervousness or anxiety
Both of us trying to not get upset
Both partners trying to maintain composure
Both of us being polite
Adhering to social norms, politeness
I spent all night trying to tell her
Struggling to communicate intended messages
This was not what I meant at all
Facing miscommunication or misunderstanding
She said 'You do as I say. But not as I do
Her instructing contradictory to her actions
And I was never untrue to you.?
Claiming fidelity despite apparent contradictions
Cause every little gesture
Reiteration of the importance of small actions
Told a little truth
Continued emphasis on subtle gestures as truth
About the way she was feeling
Repeating the theme of hidden emotions
She was pulling out the loose threat on her nylon skirt
Reiterating a vulnerable gesture with clothing
She was eating far too much chocolate
Emphasizing coping through excessive chocolate consumption
And every time she said she really didn't mind
Repeating the idea of concealing true feelings
She was biting her bottom lip
Reinforcing the theme of nervousness or anxiety
Both of us trying to not get upset
Both partners making an effort to avoid conflict
Both of us being polite.
Reiterating the importance of maintaining politeness
