Its your bed,
So please choose a side.
I'll take the one closest to the door.
And you start to speak
The words that try to justify do far more wrong
Than anything you do,
So grab the coat, the keys,
The tension speaks but we're singing it

I'll tap the break while you crack the window
The smell of smoke is making my lungs explode
The 51 is backed up and too slow,
Let's tune out by turning on the radio

And this town is dead
We've been caught in these sheets way too long
Let's just see who's up on this screen
No one I know is more depressing than me,
Or should I say the two of us
'Cause after all we're all we've got
And tension speaks but we're singing it

I'll tap the break while you crack the window
The smell of smoke is making my lungs explode
The 51 is backed up and too slow
Let's tune out by turning on the radio

And oh my love you're all I need
Backed behind a frequency
They played this song an hour ago
Let's tune out
Let's tune out by turning on the radio

Oh, haven't we heard this song
About a thousand times before
Oh well, after a while it all sounds the same
I guess it's better than silence and better then shame

I'll tap the break while you crack the window
The smell of smoke is making my lungs explode
The 51 is backed up and too slow
Let's tune out by turning on the radio

And oh my love you're all i need
Backed behind a frequency
They played this song an hour ago
But lets tune out
Let's tune out
Let's tune out by turning on the radio

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
