Lyrics
These stubborn stitches that she wants undone now
Refers to unresolved issues or emotional wounds she desires to undo.
Rub out the difference and you numb the taste oh

My breath is your breath and we share my shadow
Emphasizes an intimate connection where their breaths and shadows are shared.
I'll love you later and we won't feel sober
Implies a postponed emotional response or love that's felt while not sober.
You lose your beauty when you don't look out and
Implies loss of attractiveness or essence when not attentive or aware.
See it shines from the eyes of strangers
Suggests recognizing beauty in unfamiliar or unexpected places.
Steal space you are all subhuman

But does it matter when it feels good?
Questions the significance of an action if it feels pleasurable despite moral concerns.
This love we're in makes everything
Reiteration of the transformative power of the love they're experiencing.
This love we're in makes everything
-Nose in my business and I can't calm down now
Feeling agitated due to someone meddling in personal matters.
A cloud has come to pinch my pale sweet blue sky
Symbolizes an intrusion or disruption in her peaceful state of mind.
My breath is your breath and we share our shadow

Our love is easy but we don't feel

Well it makes everything, everything
-This love that we are in, well it makes everything, everything
-Only you demean everything
Pointing out how the other person diminishes or devalues everything.
And needle love with splinters

Until only I redeem everything
Suggests personal redemption amidst a potential downfall caused by the other.
And bring a mighty fall and take everything

But then only you reveal everything

Oh this love that we are in

Expresses the exhaustive nature of their love's impact on the speaker.
