Lyrics

I type at will?

I express freely without inhibition?

Knobby nose

Reference to a distinctive or unusual nose shape

Take my pillow when I'm well

Taking comfort in a pillow even when not unwell

Ain't I nice

Expressing one's pleasant nature

You see it's mind over meal

Emphasizing the power of the mind over sustenance

And it's trying still

Despite challenges, there is an ongoing effort

If you're trying for me

Encouraging someone to make an effort for the speaker

Maybe you could try and listen to

Suggesting the importance of attentive listening

My cliche

Referring to a familiar, overused phrase or idea

And I said you

Addressing someone directly

You got these pictures

Acknowledging possession of certain images or memories

You know them

Acknowledging familiarity with these images

Each as each other

Describing the images as similar to each other

'cause I'm kind of ashamed

Expressing shame about leaving something valuable

To be leavin' all I've gained

Regret about leaving behind acquired possessions

Here she be leavin' me nice

Reference to someone leaving in a kind manner

Way beyond this sacrifice

Acknowledging a sacrifice that goes beyond expectations

My cliche

Reiteration of the familiar phrase or idea

Bring me a vodka on ice

Requesting a specific drink (vodka on ice)

Even I can't pay that price

Admitting inability to afford the emotional cost

I've got these pictures of you

Possessing images or memories of someone being kind

Being nice at the same time

Simultaneous expression of kindness

My cliche

Reiteration of the familiar phrase or idea

I've been talking to you and I've been talking to you

Repeated attempts at communication

Quick there goes my mind

Rapid loss of focus or attention

Dry bones and blisters

Reference to physical discomfort or hardship

It's these little things, little things

Small, impactful elements causing emotional distress

That made me cry

Highlighting the emotional impact of minor details

Leave me at will

Permission to leave without hindrance

It's these little things we all feel

Shared experience of universal emotions

I've got something to say

Announcing an enduring message

And it will not go away

Emphasizing the persistence of the message

My cliche

Reiteration of the familiar phrase or idea
