Lyrics
She plaits her hair, I bite my nails
She is focused on her appearance, while I am anxious or nervous.
We balance love on the scales
Our love is delicately balanced, hanging in the balance.
I wind the clock and go to bed
I perform routine tasks like winding the clock before going to bed.
Our love is hanging on a thread
Our relationship is in a precarious state, hanging by a thread.
She gets undressed, I undress too
She undresses, and I follow suit, indicating a level of intimacy.
The draft is cold in my bedroom
The atmosphere in my bedroom is cold, possibly reflecting emotional distance.
We cuddle up and say goodnight
We cuddle before saying goodnight, acknowledging the love present in that moment.
It's all the love there is tonight.
The displayed affection is the extent of love for the night.
I can't be brave enough
I struggle with courage or facing difficult emotions.
She cannot say what we're feeling
Communication is challenging, and emotions are unspoken.
Day after day
We are stuck in a routine, day after day, lacking genuine connection.
We're going through the motions
We're going through motions, implying a lack of genuine emotion or passion.
We find it hard to let each other go
Letting go of each other is difficult; there's a struggle to move on.
She boils the eggs, I make the tea
Everyday activities like boiling eggs and making tea symbolize the mundane nature of their relationship.
Outside the sun shines on the street
Despite the external sunshine, internally the relationship is at a breaking point.
We're at that point here love has gone
They have reached a stage where love has faded or is absent.
The fuse is lit, it won't be long
A metaphorical fuse is lit, signifying an impending end.
I take a walk, she cleans the house
Engaging in separate activities, possibly avoiding confrontation.
This is the end, I'm in no doubt
The relationship is coming to an end, and there's a sense of certainty about it.
But neither one of us can show
Both partners are unable to express or display signs of moving on.
The slightest sign of letting go
There's a struggle to release or move away from the relationship.
