Lyrics
Can you please
Request for attention or a favor
Just this once
Pleading for compliance just this one time
Don't run and hide
Encouraging not to avoid or escape
Just lean in and try
Encouraging to face a challenge or situation
To pretend
Suggesting a facade or pretense
That you'll stay
Expressing a desire for continuity
Then you can let me down easy
Requesting gentle disappointment if leaving
This time
Emphasizing the importance of this departure
When you go
Addressing the act of leaving
Go slow when you walk away
Requesting a slow departure
Every time you make a little stitch
Referring to a repetitive action of creating something
I squeeze so tight I watch you swell and rip
Describing a strong emotional reaction to the process
Now I'm rushing in with glue
Intervening with a solution to mend or repair
Take a whiff
Suggesting pleasure or contentment
Ain't this bliss?
Asking if the current situation is joyful
Every time I feel you start to slip
Reacting to the perceived loss of control
I squeeze so tight
Expressing an intensified reaction to slipping away
I kinda lose my grip
Indicating a struggle to maintain control
Now your lips are turning blue
Describing a negative consequence of the situation
Limbs are stiff
Depicting a rigid or unresponsive state
Ain't this bliss?
Suggesting ironic pleasure in the current state
Can we go another round or two?
Asking for a continuation of the process
Another round or two
Repetition of the request for continuation
'Cause Darling, ain't this bliss?
Expressing joy or contentment in the relationship
'Cause ain't this bliss?
Reiterating the sense of bliss or happiness
Every time you make a little stitch
Repetition of the action of creating something
I squeeze so tight
Repeating the intense emotional reaction
I watch you swell and rip
Observing the consequences of slipping away
And every time I feel you start to slip
Reiteration of the struggle to maintain control
I squeeze so tight
Describing an intensified reaction to slipping away
I kind of lose my grip
Suggesting a challenge in maintaining control
Now your lips are turning blue
Describing a negative consequence of the situation
Ain't this bliss?
Repeating the ironic pleasure in the current state
