Lyrics
He asked do you listen to the radio like you did before?
Questioning if the person still engages with the radio as they used to.
Oh, how could you want anything more?
Expressing surprise that anything more is desired.
I get these voices in my head and they won't quiet down
Describing persistent, intrusive thoughts that won't subside.
But I'm thinking maybe it'd be better if you weren't around
Contemplating whether it would be better if the person wasn't present.
Quiet confrontation in the back of the room
Depicting a subdued conflict in the background.
His lies made her lips turn blue
Revealing lies causing emotional distress.
Words hurt, but broken hearts are worse
Highlighting the emotional impact of hurtful words compared to broken hearts.
I know that you are hurting too
Acknowledging the mutual pain and understanding the partner's suffering.
Oh what a shame
Expressing a sense of regret or disappointment.
Oh what a shame
Repeating the sentiment of disappointment or regret.
It's quiet now, I can't hear a sound
Describing a silence, possibly indicating an emotional void.
Loving you, since about '72
Indicating a long history of love since the year '72.
I can't think now, my head's stuck in the green
Feeling mentally stuck, possibly overwhelmed by emotions.
Maybe I wish you didn't do that thing you did
Expressing a wish that a certain action had not been taken.
Different bodies, bodies next to mine
Describing intimacy with different individuals.
Pretending that this wasn't what we called a crime
Acknowledging a pretense, possibly regretting the actions as a 'crime.'
Words hurt, but broken hearts are worse
Reiterating the emotional impact of hurtful words and broken hearts.
Maybe I wish it didn't come to this
Expressing a wish that circumstances had not led to the current situation.
Oh what a shame
Reiterating a sense of regret or disappointment.
Oh what a shame
Repeating the sentiment of regret or disappointment for emphasis.
Oh what a shame
Concluding with a strong expression of regret or disappointment.
