"I've been trying to keep my grip, yeah I think I'm over this
I can hear it now, oh no, oh no"
I've been trying to not get swept away by falling head over heels for this girl. Yep, I'm good... nope, I'm not.
"Yeah my tongue will let it slip, why'd I do those things I did?
I can taste it now, oh no, oh no"
Aaand... not all lyrics contribute to the context of the song. Some lyrics are just there for the rhythm. Bad Suns agrees- check out this interview groundsounds.com/2014/02/20/interview-bad-suns/. Just based on the interview... this song might actually mean less than anyone thinks!
"I'll try my best, how much do I invest?
Like cardiac arrest, high voltage in her lips
I'll try my best, how much do I invest?
Like cardiac arrest, high voltage when we kiss"
I will do my damnedest to keep this woman. But how much do I put into this? (Maybe cuz he likes her more than he thinks she likes him? Maybe cuz he's made mistakes in the past- check out the previous verse?) Because it's super intense when we kiss
"My innards turn, your eyes they roll
I'll be there to take the fall; I can feel it now, oh no, oh no
Same old story since day one, but I've got no place to run
I can see it now, oh no, oh no"
So when they kiss, his stomach drops (good sign!), and her eyes roll up in her head. (If you've never made a girl's eyes roll up in her head when you're kissing her, then you need some skillz.)
Next line- he'll be there to catch her when she comes back to herself after being kissed silly; or, he's willing to be the first to fall in love here.
Next line- "same old story" either refers to personal history with falling in love, or the idea that "love makes the world go round".
"High voltage in her lips, they catch me when I slip"
Yeah, so, first they still have a strong connection- the high voltage- and second, her kisses catch him when he slips- makes a mistake, falls into a bad mood- then she's pretty darned interested.
@Guilitine- it's so interesting that we have such different interpretations. I wonder if it reflects our personal history and current relationship/ relationship status.
