Lyrics
Come on skinny love just last the year
Urging a fragile love to endure for just one more year
Pour a little salt we were never here
Erasing traces of existence or intimacy with symbolic actions
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Expressing a personal, emotional plea or realization
Staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer
Reflecting on a disturbing sight, possibly symbolic of pain and deception
I tell my love to wreck it all
Encouraging love to destruct everything
Cut out all the ropes and let me fall
Desiring freedom from restraints, allowing a fall
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Repetition emphasizing an intense emotional state
Right in this moment this order's tall
Feeling overwhelmed by the present circumstances
And I told you to be patient
Advising patience in a situation
And I told you to be fine
Encouraging resilience and composure
And I told you to be balanced
Seeking equilibrium in behavior and emotions
And I told you to be kind
Advocating kindness despite circumstances
And in the morning I'll be with you
Predicting future togetherness, but under different circumstances
But it will be a different "kind"
Anticipating a change or shift in the nature of the relationship
I'll be holding all the tickets
Having control or power in the relationship's outcomes
And you'll be owning all the fines
Partner expected to bear consequences or burdens
Come on skinny love what happened here
Questioning the deterioration of a once-thriving love
Suckle on the hope in light brassiere
Finding solace or sustenance in fading hope
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Reiteration emphasizing emotional intensity
Sullen load is full; so slow on the split
Feeling the weight of a heavy emotional burden
And I told you to be patient
Repeating advice for patience
And I told you to be fine
Reiterating encouragement for emotional stability
And I told you to be balanced
Stressing the importance of balance
And I told you to be kind
Emphasizing the necessity of kindness
And in the morning I'll be with you
Forecasting a reunion but with changed dynamics
But it will be a different "kind"
Expecting a different quality to the relationship
‘Cause I'll be holding all the tickets
Asserting control or possession of outcomes
And you'll be owning all the fines
Imposing responsibility or consequences on the partner
Who will love you?
Pondering who will show genuine love
Who will fight?
Questioning who will engage in the necessary fight or effort
And who will fall far behind?
Wondering who will lag behind or fail to keep up
Oh come on, skinny love
Repeating the plea for a fragile, delicate love
Come on, skinny love
Repeating the plea for a delicate, vulnerable love
Oh come on, skinny love
Repeating the plea for a fragile, delicate love
Oh come on, come on
Encouraging and pleading for the love to endure
Come on
Invitation or urging to persist
Who will love you?
Reiterating the query about genuine love
Who will fight?
Repeating the question about engagement or effort
And who will fall far behind?
Repeating the query about lagging or failing
Who will love you?
Repeating the query about genuine love
And who will fall far behind?
Repeating the query about lagging or failing
