No one has stepped up to the plate to figure this one out... so I guess I will... Okay, the first time I heard it, I thought it was about sex, which I thought was odd for Charlotte Martin anyway, but I think I understand it a little better now... To me, it's about a struggling relationship that ends and the narrator of the story doesn't want it to. She holds this guy up on such a pedestal that she can't see the truth. She just keeps trying and pushing. But ultimately they fight and break up. Then she sees him out and girls are hitting on him, and she still wants to be with him... That's my overall summary. "Some more attention, honey Put your hand on my hand Left to the clover And I can't roll over 'Cause you do it so You do it so well" *This shows how she wants him to love her. It's practically left to luck on whether or not he'll show her any love, but she's so wrapped up in him that she keeps on trying anyway. "You're seeing in the future Here without the sutures Oh you say it now And say it real well" *This part confuses me a bit, but it sounds to me like he talks about marriage with her, but she knows he's more just saying what she wants to hear b/c their relationship isn't held together enough for marriage. "Tumbling down with you on the ground Can't train myself to hold back any longer Breath mint fornicator I can bear it If you do her now Just do her real well" *I could be wrong about this part, but I take it as her finally having enough and they fight and break it off. Then she sees him out and possible witnesses him kissing another girl or predicts that he will kiss some girl and is preparing herself. "There's enough provision here to fix my vision" *I feel like this line could be referring to either alcohol or possible suitors as her provision. "Mathematician Wants a nice physician But you told her off I'll tell her off well" *You could take this line literally as mathematician and physician being the ex and random girl's jobs or possibly more something like personalitiy traits... Not sure if that made sense... But the told her off part is probably saying that he blew this random girl off and now the narrator wants to tell her off, too. I feel like it's that natural cattyness in girls, you know. Wow, that was long... But hopefully this helps someone to better understand this song... |
