Something to Do With My Hands
Whispers of Yearning: Unraveling the Meaning Behind Her Space Holiday's Melodic Tale
Lyrics
You know it kills me to see such a pretty girl so tired
You feel saddened to witness a beautiful girl looking exhausted.
You've got your mother's cheekbones and your father's crooked smile
The girl inherits attractive features from her parents.
Forget all those places that you've never really been
Encouraging the girl to forget unexplored places.
And all those situations you somehow found yourself in
Reflecting on past situations the girl found herself in.
Let your body sink into me
Encouraging physical closeness and intimacy.
Like your favorite memory
Comparing the physical closeness to a cherished memory.
Like a line of poetry
Equating the experience to poetry or a burst of honesty.
Or a fucking fit of honesty
Emphasizing a raw and honest connection.
I'll do my best to keep you, keep you sleepy as the south
Expressing a desire to keep the girl relaxed and calm.
With my old watch on your wrist
Mentioning a watch and physical closeness, suggesting a shared history.
And my thumbs inside your mouth
Describing a gesture of intimacy involving thumbs and mouth.
Suck on my fingertips until you kill all my prints
Describing an intimate act to conceal evidence from the girl's boyfriend.
So your boyfriend has no clue
Hiding the extent of physical contact from the girl's boyfriend.
Of how much I've been touching you
Highlighting the secrecy of the relationship.
My problem with me is my problem with you
Recognizing personal issues affecting the speaker and the girl.
It doesn't take much
Stating the speaker's vulnerability to emotional instability.
For me to come unglued
Expressing how easily the speaker can become emotionally undone.
I put my headphones on
Using music as a coping mechanism.
And hear your favorite songs
Listening to the girl's favorite songs intensifies the speaker's emotions.
And it kills me to know
Feeling saddened that the current situation won't be memorable.
That this won't be one of them
Realizing the relationship won't be a lasting memory.
You know it saves me to think even for a little while
Finding solace in brief positive thoughts.
I owned the set of shoulders that you came to rely on
Recalling a time when the girl relied on the speaker's support.
Like in that movie theater when you whispered in my ear
Remembering a moment of intimacy in a movie theater.
I almost didn't make it
Nearly not overcoming a personal challenge during that time.
This has been my hardest year
Referring to a difficult year for the speaker.
Your job is killing you faster than a cancer could
Commenting on the negative impact of the girl's job on her well-being.
So now you're giving up like they always said you would
The girl is giving up on her job, as predicted by others.
You've got that old map out now and you found the farthest town
The girl is planning to move to a distant town.
You hope that if you're lucky this is where you'll settle down
Expressing hope that the girl finds happiness in the new location.
I don't care where you move I don't care if it's far
Indicating a lack of concern about the girl's physical location.
All that I ask is that I know where you are
Requesting knowledge of the girl's location for potential future connection.
In case our timing is right
Expressing openness to reconnect if the timing aligns.
In case you need more from me
Offering more than just advice or sympathy if needed.
Than a bit of advice
Being available for support beyond mere advice.
Or a tongue full of sympathy
Being willing to provide comfort and understanding.
