    I really want to find a bar
    And mix a fear up with a friend
    Plant a joke kiss on your arm
    And give you skulls tattoos in pen
    I want to know...
    Do I dance inside your head?
    Is our love star crossed?
    'Cause all I feel is that I'm caught in it
    I really want to go to bed
    With a feeling in my chest
    Like I lost again
    But this time for the best
    I want to know
    Do I smooth your checkered past?
    Does your hope float?
    When you call me your last
    I really hope you're on at eight
    With no commercial breaks
    And the sofa sinks
    Underneath our doubled weight
    If I love you
    Like I loved you from a far
    If you love me
    When your skin wasn't so hard
    When your skin wasn't so hard

    • @dazai3901
      @dazai3901 5 лет назад +43

      thotasaurus I’m not so sure myself, either-but this is my interpretation:
      Someone lost something very significant to them (perhaps a lover or friend), they look back on how they spent their time together; or how they could’ve. Finding things to self-indulge in to hide the pain behind a facade, or distracting them from it, at least. “And mix a fear up with a friend,”-having someone to discuss issues with.
      They want to be remembered, because they’re constantly reminiscing about the significant entity.
      -this song means a lot to me. I relate to it so much, it actually really, really hurts. I’m so happy I discovered the song, ‘cause whenever I feel low or sentimental, this song makes me feel calm and happy (but at the same time, also sad).
