Lyrics
She had a face straight out a magazine
The girl's appearance is exceptionally attractive, like someone from a magazine.
God only knows but you'll never leave her
It's uncertain why, but the person addressed won't be able to leave this girl.
Her balaclava is starting to chafe
Her face covering (balaclava) is causing discomfort.
And when she gets his gun he's beggin', "Babe, stay, stay
When she gains control of the gun, the person pleads for her to stay.
Stay, stay, stay"
Repetition emphasizes the urgency of the plea for her to stay.
I'll give you one more time
Offering another chance or opportunity.
We'll give you one more fight
Preparing for another confrontation or struggle.
Said one more lie
Referencing the telling of another falsehood.
Will I know you?
Questioning familiarity or recognition of the person.
Now if you never shoot, you'll never know
Encouragement to take action; if you don't try, you won't succeed.
And if you never eat, you'll never grow
A metaphorical statement - without taking risks, one won't progress.
You got a pretty kind of dirty face
Describing a charming yet slightly untidy appearance.
When she's leaving your home, she's begging you to stay, stay
When she leaves, she's imploring the person to stay.
Stay, stay, stay
Reiteration, stressing the desire for the person to stay.
I'll give you one more time
Offering one more chance or opportunity.
We'll give you one more fight
Preparation for another confrontation or struggle.
Said one more line
Referencing the telling of another falsehood.
There'll be a riot, 'cause I know you
Predicting chaos or disturbance due to knowledge about the person.
Well, now that you've got your gun
Now that the person has a gun, the situation is more challenging with the arrival of the police.
It's much harder now the police have come
The difficulty intensifies with law enforcement's presence.
And I'll shoot him if it's what you ask
Willingness to use the gun if requested, yet pleading for revealing identity.
But if you'd just take off your mask
Requesting the person to remove the mask for clarity.
You'd find out everything's gone wrong
Acknowledging that everything has gone awry.
Now everybody's dead
Describing a situation where everyone involved is now deceased.
And they're driving past my old school
Passing by a familiar location while in this chaotic state.
And he's got his gun, and he's got his suit on
Despite the chaos, someone is composed, armed, and dressed formally.
She says, "Babe, you look so cool
The girl admires the person's appearance and demeanor in the midst of chaos.
You look so cool
Repetition of the admiration for the person's coolness.
You look so cool
-You look so cool
-You look so cool
-You look so cool"
-('Cause I know you)
Reiterating knowledge about the person amidst the chaos.
