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
