In this song it seems to me like he is talking about a proposal I will try to prove my theory now. Regardless i think we can all agree, the beauty of manchester songs are that they can mean so many things to so many people "Take a leaf of paper and draw your mind, Your bourbon brown that can burn my eyes, I lost your presence underneath the bridge" "Lock the door, let's talk it out, (this is after the proposal and she said no) Against the wall, hands on my mouth, Could this be it, is it really over now?" "You wore a pink t-shirt and khaki pants, You played your songs and you danced your dance (I believe its her perspective of the night of the I unwrapped your presents underneath your feet" proposal) I think this is where he begins to setup to propose he is waiting for her to leave/or go to sleep.... "Nine to eleven you're getting weak, The tile is cold, I can barely speak, And I think she's gone, but I'll be sure for safety's keeping" If you say no, then no it will be, I'll stick it at our skin, pierced with colly strings,(he is talking here about the risk of her saying no to him) Just play it cool yeah, and try avoid being seen I'll stick it at our skin, pierced for nothing Well yeah I saw inside the mirror and your smoking gun, Along in the sign, the hours, the subscribing one by one,(the time is growing sooner) And I fell so fast in Seth Ott's bedroom (he is nervous he faints at his friends) You said you saw it coming but you didn't see nothing, (He proposes with a surprise) Your eyes are on the living room your eyes are on the closet, (she is nervous shes not ready and is looking around the room trying to figure what to say) Don't worry about, don't worry about anything (he tells her its okay) A pity invitation to an awkward house, (she invites him over because she feels bad for what happened) For pseudo-boy who would rather wear a blouse, (he is describing his embarrassed feeling) I sincerely saw your skin for the very first time My curly hair and a voting booth, (Describing how all this mad him realize How Confessingly, this is the first time I've loved you, Much he really loved her) And God I mean, God I mean it, I hope that I mean it 'Cause like dying young, idols got the best of me, Well don't stop calling, you're the reason I love losing sleep, (greatest line of all time btw) And the building collapse, we'll shop one for something I'll stick it at our skin, pierced for something Besides, don't release me until it's over And besides, you can't believe without bleeding. And besides, you can't believe without bleeding. |
