Lyrics
In the arms of another who doesn't mean anything to you
In a relationship with someone who holds no emotional significance for you.
There's nothing much to discover
Nothing substantial or interesting to explore in that relationship.
Does he shake, does he shiver as he sidles up to you
Wondering if the new partner exhibits signs of nervousness or excitement, similar to the speaker in the past.
Like I did in my time?
Recalling the speaker's own experiences of approaching the listener with anticipation.
As you wake does he smother you in kisses long and true?
Questioning whether the new partner expresses affection genuinely and intensely in the morning.
Does he even think to bother?
Doubting if the new partner even cares or makes an effort.
And at night under covers as he's sliding into you
Imagining intimate moments under the covers with the new partner.
Does it set your sweat on fire?
Wondering if the physical connection with the new partner ignites passion.
Want you so bad I can taste it
Expressing a strong desire for the listener, but she is unreachable.
But you're nowhere to be found
Not finding the listener despite the intense yearning.
I'll take a drug to replace it
Considering the use of substances to cope with the unattainable desire.
Or put me in the ground
Contemplating extreme measures, even death, as an alternative to unfulfilled longing.
In the arms of another who doesn't mean anything to you
Reiterating the idea of the listener being with someone without emotional significance.
Do you lose yourself in wonder?
Questioning if the listener loses herself in the new relationship.
If I could, I would hover while he's making love to you
Expressing a desire to be present during the listener's intimate moments with the new partner.
Make it rain as I cry
Metaphorically wishing for emotional release through tears while witnessing the listener's happiness.
Want you so bad I can taste it
Reiterating the intense desire for the listener, who remains elusive.
But you're nowhere to be found
Continuing to express the frustration of not finding the listener.
Now I'll take a drug to replace it
Revisiting the idea of using substances to cope with unrequited love.
Or put me in the ground
Repeating the consideration of extreme measures due to unfulfilled longing.
Want you so bad I can taste it
Reiterating the intense desire for the listener, who remains elusive.
But you're nowhere to be found
Continuing to express the frustration of not finding the listener.
Now I'll take a drug to replace it
Revisiting the idea of using substances to cope with unrequited love.
Or put me in the ground
Repeating the consideration of extreme measures due to unfulfilled longing.
Put me in the ground
Expressing a desire to be buried or removed from the pain of unrequited love.
Put me in the ground
Repeating the plea to be put in the ground as a metaphorical escape from emotional distress.
Put me in the ground
