Lyrics

I'm your longest winter

I represent the longest and toughest periods in your life, akin to a harsh winter.

I'm your fingernail splinter

I am a minor annoyance, comparable to a small piece of fingernail causing discomfort.

I'm a holiday where all it does it rain

I am a celebration that is marred by constant rain, symbolizing persistent challenges.

I'm the dirt on your shoeses

I am the undesirable elements, like dirt, associated with your everyday experiences.

I'm the hurt that's in your bruises

I am the pain embedded in your injuries and bruises.

But I'm yours and I'm here, here to stay

Despite all these negatives, I am committed to being yours and staying with you.

I'm your angry mother

I embody the frustration and authority of an angry mother figure in your life.

I'm your dumb wee brother

I am the sometimes foolish and irritating younger sibling in your family.

I'm those kids at school who used to call you gay

I represent the memories of bullying from school days, specifically targeting your identity.

I'm the prick in your flower

I am the unwelcome presence or negativity in the beauty of your life.

I'm your last working hour

I symbolize the final moments of your workday, possibly stressful or challenging.

But I'm yours and I'm here, here to stay

Despite these roles, I am dedicated to you and committed to staying by your side.

But if you ask me

Beginning of a reflective moment where the speaker shares their perspective.

You will find

Encourages the listener to inquire, suggesting self-discovery about their own nature.

That you too

The listener will discover that they too embody similar challenging qualities.

Are all these things in kind

Emphasizing commonality in flaws and difficulties.

And I'm here to stay

Reiteration of the commitment to stay despite challenges.

And you're still mine

A reminder that the listener is still emotionally connected or attached.

I'm your reheated dinner

I am the mundane aspects of your life, represented by a repeated and reheated dinner.

I'm old photos where you're thinner

Symbolizing nostalgia through old photos, focusing on a perceived better or thinner past.

I'm your favourite white shirt when it gets stained

I am the cherished item that bears the stains of life's experiences.

I'm your unpaid taxes

I represent financial burdens and responsibilities, like unpaid taxes.

I'm your overdue waxes

Signifying neglected personal care, perhaps in grooming or maintenance.

But I'm yours and i'm here, here to stay

Despite these negative aspects, I remain devoted and committed to you.

A slow wireless connection

Comparing a slow wireless connection to frustration and limitations in life.

A limp lifeless erection

A metaphor for the challenges and difficulties in maintaining a passionate or vibrant life.

I'm a tired love song full of cliches

I am a clichéd expression of love, possibly worn out or lacking originality.

I'm your two weeks sober

Symbolizing a period of sobriety, possibly in relationships or personal habits.

Then your worst hangover

The aftermath of excesses, suggesting the negative consequences of indulgence.

But I'm yours and I'm here, here to stay

Despite these highs and lows, I remain committed to you.

But if you ask me

A continuation of the speaker's perspective, inviting further exploration.

You will find

The listener, upon inquiry, will discover their own parallel struggles.

That you too

Highlighting the shared nature of flaws and challenges.

Are all these things in kind

Reaffirmation of the commitment to stay despite mutual imperfections.

And I'm here to stay

Restating the enduring nature of the relationship.

And you're still mine

Assuring that the emotional connection remains intact despite difficulties.

You're still mine

Reiteration of the listener's continued significance and belonging.
