Lyrics
I try and I fail
I make an effort, but I don't always succeed
Sometimes I even succeed
Despite failures, there are times when I achieve my goals
If you look at my life
Reflecting on my life
I can't complain
I have no significant complaints about my life
If you know what I mean
Understanding or agreeing with what I'm saying
And it is all the same
Life is predictable or unchanging
If your holding out, you can wash in the rain
If you're patient, you can find joy even in mundane things (like washing in the rain)
Wash in the rain, wash in the rain
Encouraging repetition of the idea to wash in the rain
I got salt you got pepper
Symbolic contrast, suggesting complementarity between two individuals
Maybe we should get it together
Suggesting collaboration or coming together
I dig a hole, you fill it up
Metaphor for cooperation, one person initiates, the other completes
you're the second thing to knock me over
A person or situation that surprises or overwhelms
Only to the waves at the edge of the water
A comparison, emphasizing the overwhelming nature of the waves
Wash in the waves, wash in the waves
Encouraging immersion or cleansing in powerful experiences (like waves)
I find it hard to forget
Struggling to forget
All the effort in regret
Regretting the effort put into something
Put in one pot that's big enough
Combining efforts in a relationship or situation
It's bound to crack when it hits the rock
Warning that strain will lead to a breakdown
that's 'cause your wicked and you wouldn't stop
Attributing a problem to someone's wickedness and persistent behavior
that's 'cause your wicked and you wouldn't stop
Reiteration of the previous line for emphasis
You wouldn't stop
Emphasizing the relentlessness or persistence of the negative behavior
You wouldn't stop
-You wouldn't stop
