Lyrics
How come you won't let me?
Questioning why the person won't allow or permit something.
How come I'm flushing it again?
Expressing frustration or disappointment at repeating a certain action or behavior.
How come you don't want me to blow?
Asking why the person doesn't want the speaker to explode or vent their feelings.
I've got a napkin for your chin
Metaphorically offering support or assistance to the person in distress.
And if you never tell me, I guess I'll never know
Expressing uncertainty about understanding something if the person doesn't communicate.
And if you never breathe it, well it'll never snow
Implies that certain outcomes won't occur if the person doesn't express or reveal something.
And if you never wake up, I guess you'll never sin
Suggests that without action or awakening, there won't be any wrongdoing or sin.
And if you take that vow babe, I'm strokin' it again
Connects an action to a vow or commitment, hinting at sexual implications.
How come you won't let me plug you?
Asking why the person won't allow the speaker to be involved or connected.
I guess repression wins again
Reflecting on the prevalence of suppressing emotions or desires.
I know it sounds like I don't love you
Acknowledging that the speaker's feelings might not seem genuine or intense.
Just cause the thought might make me grin
Addressing the irony that thinking of not loving someone brings a smile.
And if you never tell me
Reiterating the importance of communication for understanding.
When I go down I hope you're in the ground with me
Expressing a desire for the person to be together in both life and death.
Cause you're my bride
Referring to the person as a significant other or partner.
Why did I let you slide?
Regretting allowing the person to escape or avoiding consequences.
I'm still in town - don't see you around
Noticing the absence of the person and still being present despite that.
But if you care, I guess I'll still be here
Indicating willingness to stay despite uncertainties or lack of reciprocation.
