Lyrics
I know it's hard please try to coax me
I acknowledge the difficulty, please attempt to persuade or influence me
Try to elevate me to the level of choice
Make an effort to lift me to a level where I have the power of choice
A scarlet sky, a silver moon is a veil before my eyes
A picturesque scene with a red sky and a silver moon obscures my vision
How can she be so in tune
Expressing wonder at someone being so in harmony or understanding
Tear me in two
Requesting to be torn apart
and bore a little hole
Create a small opening by tearing me, allowing clear perception
that I can see right through
The opening enables a transparent view
Your diversions my digression
Your distractions are diverting my attention
Take me apart
Request to be disassembled
Suck my blood until you stop my heart
Metaphorically, drain my vitality until my heart ceases
You encumber my progression
Your actions hinder my forward movement or development
And then you save me
You save me after causing distress
It slips by, it slips right by
Time passes unnoticed, surprising
Much to my surprise
Expressing surprise at the passage of time
And you think that I drink to much
Suggesting a perception that the speaker drinks excessively
Yeah, well I don't mind
Indifference to the perceived excessive drinking
I don't mind
Reiteration of indifference to excessive drinking
I think of all the time we've wasted
Reflecting on time wasted in the relationship
I think of all our time apart
Reflecting on the time spent apart from the other person
Your scathing tongue is not the one
The hurtful words spoken are no longer needed by the speaker
That I need anymore
Rejecting the necessity of the hurtful words
