I'm not going to lie, this song is just about perfect in describing a situation I'm going through right now. Here we go again I kinda wanna be more than friends So take it easy on me I'm afraid you're never satisfied. He's in love with a girl, but she's complicated, more so than most women (no offense!) but she just wants to stay friends. Whether out of caution or other obligations (booyfriend/husband). He's afraid she's just using him for whatever Here we go again We're sick like animals We play pretend You're just a cannibal And I'm afraid I wont get out alive No I won't sleep tonight They both love each other, the emotion is there, but she has her reservations about being with him. They both know the only thing she can give him is sex, but he doesn't care. Consequences be damned, he just wants to enjoy her in any way possible, even if it means pretending for the short time he's with her in any regard. He knows his heart will be broken and can't stop thinking/worrying about it. I want some more What are you waitin' for? Take a bite of my heart tonight I want some more What are you waitin' for? Say goodbye to my heart tonight They've done it once before, why can't they again? The only emotion he can get from her is during sex, so he wants it to keep coming. Take a bite of my heart, make it part of you, and when we're all done, leave me alone and go back to whoever it is you have waiting for you. Here we are again I feel the chemicals kickin' in It's gettin' heavier I wanna run and hide I wanna run and hide When he's around her, he can't help but feel emotions/aroused/whatever. They start doing they're thang, but he almost doesn't see a point to it. It's futile, why bother? I do it every time You're killin' me now And I won't be denied by you The animal inside of you The same thoughts happen every time, and she's breaking his heart but he knows neither of them can say no to each other. Hush, hush The world is quiet Hush, hush We both can't fight it It's us that made this mess Why can't you understand? Whoa, I won't sleep tonight It's late and they're post-romancing, but she won't shut up about how wrong it is and how bad they should feel. He just wants them to enjoy what they have but when she leaves he'll be just as depressed/mad/ashamed. I know because I'm in a crap situation, I'm going to impose how I feel onto any interpretable facet of life, but it makes sense, yeah? |
