Lyrics
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Repetitive vocalizations expressing emotion or uncertainty.
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
-Love in memory
Reflecting on love as a powerful force that overwhelmed the speaker.
Was a plague that consumed me
Describing love as a consuming plague.
Shifted all my priorities
Shift in priorities caused by the intensity of love.
Things I'd die to keep
Valuing things enough to die for them.
Swept through all that I hoped to reap
Love affecting the speaker's aspirations and goals.
God, I loved how it ruined me
Finding beauty in the destructive power of love.
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Repetition of emotional expressions.
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
-(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
-I have kept the hurt buried deep into winter dirt
Keeping emotional pain hidden, buried deep within.
I watch at night when the mound stirs
Observing the emotional turmoil resurfacing, likened to stirring dirt.
This is not the burn I've known
Distinguishing a new kind of pain from past experiences.
It's an ache in my every bone
Feeling a pervasive ache in the speaker's bones.
Maybe you want to be alone
Suggesting the desire for solitude.
Maybe I
Uncertain about the need for solitude.
Oh, My head is aching
Expressing a headache, possibly due to emotional strain.
But if I keep very still
Attempting stillness as a coping mechanism.
I might be able
Struggling to maintain composure until the weekend's end.
To make this work until
-The end of the weekend
-Weak, but I'll pretend
-That you still want me
Expressing uncertainty about being wanted and adored.
I'm the one you adore
-But I'm just shy of sure
-(Oh, oh)
Reiteration of uncertainty.
(I'm just shy of sure)
-When do things suffice?
Questioning the sufficiency of things in life.
Can you be happy all your life?
Pondering the possibility of sustained happiness.
Do you think it can happen twice?
Questioning the likelihood of love happening more than once.
Maybe that's a swing
Suggesting taking risks is necessary for success.
Hey, you can't win without entering
Encouraging entering into situations to have a chance at winning.
Are you cool to lose everything?
Weighing the willingness to lose everything for a potential gain.
Roll the dice
Metaphorically considering life as a gamble.
My head is aching
Repetition of the struggle to maintain composure.
But if I keep very still
-I might be able
-To make this work until
-The end of the weekend
-Weak, but I'll pretend
-That you still want me
Expressing the desire to be wanted but remaining uncertain.
I'm the one you adore
-But I'm just shy of sure
-Oh, oh, oh, oh (oh, oh, oh, oh)
Repetition of emotional expressions.
Oh, oh, oh, oh (oh, oh, oh, oh)
-Oh, oh, oh, oh (oh, oh, oh, oh)
-Oh, oh, oh, oh (oh, oh, oh, oh)
-Oh, My head is aching
Reiteration of the struggle to maintain composure until the weekend's end.
But if I keep very still
-I might be able
-To make this work until
-The end of the weekend
-Weak, but I'll pretend
-That you still want me
Expressing the desire to be wanted but remaining uncertain.
I'm the one you adore
-But I'm just shy of sure
-(I'm just shy of sure)
Final repetition of uncertainty about being sure.
