Lyrics

Make yourself ready and it will come,

Encouraging readiness, anticipating something to come.

Like baby teeth or police at the sound of the drums.

Comparing the arrival of something to the natural process of losing baby teeth or the presence of police responding to drum sounds.

To me that sound is like spreading hope,

Describing a particular sound as a source of hope.

And we are seeking relief till we get home.

Expressing a collective desire for relief until reaching home.


Lost patience, vacations.

Mentioning impatience and the contrast with vacations.

Still it comes like a storm,

Highlighting the unpredictable nature of the anticipated event, resembling a storm.

Or sometimes slow like the teeth of a newborn.

Comparing the arrival, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, to the growth of newborn teeth.

Don't make it to heady or overdone.

Advising not to make the situation too intense or exaggerated.


The Tarot change and the nonsense,

Referring to changes in fortune and irrelevant matters.

Those are the ones to send to lovers and

Suggesting sending such matters to lovers and friends on the move.

Friends on the run, and don't forget your letters to me,

Emphasizing the importance of receiving letters for personal needs.

Because I need some.

Expressing a personal need for communication.


I see your face from where I sit.

Observing the listener's face and making a connection.

Put a pair of lips on a heart,

Describing a realization, possibly related to love or understanding.

I think I've got it.

Suggesting a sense of understanding or realization.

Soon 2, 3, 4 on this kit I subsist,

Referring to a musical kit and sustaining despite challenges.


Together with knowing I am missed.

Expressing the comfort of being missed by someone.

You are missed.

Reiterating the sentiment of being missed.

Now I will tell you what-don't want to shake things up,

Expressing hesitation to disturb the current situation.

But we're good to go one day,

Optimistically acknowledging readiness for the future.


Next day, who knows, we're fucked.

Highlighting uncertainty about the future, acknowledging challenges.

But that's no reason to be tame.

Encouraging not to be restrained by challenges in love.

Love takes new shapes like flames.

Comparing love to evolving and changing shapes like flames.

And still it comes, warm,

Emphasizing the continuous nature of love, describing it as warm.


Sometimes slow like the teeth of a newborn.

Concluding with a repetition of the comparison to the slow growth of newborn teeth.
