Tegan and Sara – Back in Your Head Lyrics 18 years ago
(Build a wall of books between us in our bed)
This is a metaphor... they're still together but it's like neither of them are even aware of each other anymore.


(Repeat, repeat, the words that I know we both have said)
This is like, saying I Love You, but you don't mean it really, it's just something you're obligated to say.

(Relax into the need, we get so comfortable)
They've become comfortable with each other, but it's more like they don't enjoy each other's company anymore, they're just there.

(Remember when I was so strange and likeable?)
Back in the days when the partner was a mystery, and there was still so much to learn. But now that he knows her better its not as strange to him, not as unique.

(I just want back in your head
I'm not unfaithful but I'll stray)
She just wants him to think of her again lovingly. She won't cheat on him, but she needs some attention so she might flirt around.


(When I get a little scared, I run, run, run)
If she thinks that he's going to leave her, she'll deny it or leave him.

(When I jerk away from holding hands with you, I know these habits hurt important parts of you)
When she denys his affection, he's hurt and therefore distances himself even more.

(Remember when I was sweet and unexplainable?
Nothing like this person, un-loveable)

Again, the mystery aspect of it. But now that things have changed and the flare is gone, it's hard to keep loving.
