Half the fun of it is that I can't keep up
And I lose my breath
I think the girl he is involved with is into sex, drugs and drink. really rock n roll stuff, and it was fun to be with her but now the consequences (hangovers, injuries, abuse, pregnancies) have come through to him,and he wants out
and what's worse
Is I don't think I'm the first
He thinks many of the girls lovers felt this way, and thats why she has so many.
Anywhere you like, you can do no wrong
Please just give me five minutes dear
I think he is letting her have sex with her, and he doesn't like it. He admires her, but she is too fast and flighty for him
Let's just pray it's not near
he doesnt want to enjoy this, he doesnt want to get pleasure from having sex with her because he fears he'll be sucked into her vortex again, and have to deal with hangovers, etc
Stay forever. I won't last it as I'll die trying
the girl is probably living with him, and if he tells her to move out she'll have no place to go. He doesnt have the heart to tell her to move out anyway.
he doesnt think he'll last being with her, her having sex with him and him trying not to enjoy it.
Will you suffer a little with me?
But you would never
he has to look after her when she has a hangover, or is sick, injured or pregnant.
she is so detached from reality that she doesnt seem to suffer
With a second chance I'd mess it up again
But I'd do it worse than before
he would mess it up on purpose as he hates this
Cos I've learned so much more
he's learnt that the person someone is after a few drinks and drugs isnt who the person really is
About the way we fertilise the roses
That were bought to show us how much you care
Now it's easier to care
I think he has succumbed, and now he is letting himself enjoy the sex. the rose is the girls sex, and every since hes surrendered its easier.
Getting past this. You have to take it.
the girls probably involved in some major crime, and is running from the consequences.
he says you have to take the blame.
I will wait here
Please believe me, just stop running
Say you'll get help
he says if she goes to rehab she'll get better and he'll wait for her until she comes out
I caught the last flight, I had to see you
It can't wait longer
abscence makes the heart grow fonder - as he struggled to remember the girl while she was at rehab he created this perfect image of her, that isnt who she is at all.
He's not your father, just a doctor
So lick your own wounds
shes involved with some one who dumbly supports this destructive relationship, entranced by her sexuality.
he's disgusted, and says a bf cant be expected to stick it out.
My interpretation of Snow patrol's half the fun
