A Little More Comfortable
Escaping Pain: Seeking Comfortable Love
Lyrics
This thing don't fit me
This relationship doesn't suit me.
This thing between you and me can't be love
The connection between us can't be classified as love.
'Cause this thing is killing me
This situation is causing me distress and pain.
It's been pinching and pulling
The emotional strain has been persistent and uncomfortable.
'Til it feels like I've been poured into my little sister's blue jeans
The emotional discomfort is so intense that it's like wearing too-small clothes.
And somebody's too-tight brand new high-heeled shoes
Comparing the emotional strain to wearing painfully tight shoes.
I'm gonna slip away from you babe
Expressing the intention to separate from the partner.
And the hurtin' things you do
Referring to the painful actions of the partner.
I'm gonna slip into something a little more comfortable
Planning to move on to something more comfortable emotionally.
I'm tired of the fire
Expressing exhaustion from the intense emotions in the relationship.
It's this burning churning all comsuming ache
Describing the overwhelming and consuming nature of emotional pain.
I can't take
Stating the inability to endure the emotional pain any longer.
I'm gonna find me a simple man
Expressing the desire to find a simpler and more genuine partner.
I'm gonna jump out of this frying pan
Metaphorically wanting to escape a difficult situation.
I'm gonna cool off in somebody's down-home downright comfortable love
Seeking comfort in a genuine and down-to-earth love.
I'm gonna slip away from you babe
Reiterating the decision to leave the partner and the associated pain.
And the hurtin' things you do
Referencing the partner's hurtful actions again.
I'm gonna slip into something a little more comfortable
Reaffirming the intention to move towards emotional comfort.
'Cause I don't believe love has to be
Expressing skepticism about the conventional view of love.
Like a prison
Comparing love to a restrictive prison-like experience.
I may not know what love is
Admitting a lack of understanding about love.
But I know what it isn't
Asserting knowledge about what love is not.
I'm gonna slip away from you babe
Repeating the decision to separate from the partner.
And the hurtin' things you do
Reiterating the partner's hurtful actions.
I'm gonna slip into something a little more comfortable
Affirming the choice to transition to emotional comfort.
I'm gonna slip into something a little more comfortable
Repeating the intention to move towards a more comfortable emotional state.
