Bon Iver – Skinny Love Lyrics 13 years ago



Just my own interpretation and probably way off the mark;

Could ^Skinny love" be reference to an under-age virgin who would be of age in a year and whom the singer had fallen in love with but wanted to wait until it was all legal?

This would tie in with the first chorus of "I told you to be patient......"

"In the morning" could be a metaphor for her coming of age when their love will "be a different kind"

Him "Holding all the tickets" could mean he would feel like he had won the lottery. And her "Holding all the fines" could refer to guilt and uncertainty after the event.

The next line ".....what happened here" in my opinion is the turning point of the song when the singer finds out that his love hasn't waited for him but turned elsewhere.

This would explain the second chorus telling her "Now all your love is wasted" and asking "Who the hell was I?"

"I'm breaking at the britches" refers to his pent up sexual desire after being kept dangling "at the end of all your lines"

The last three lines of the song can be taken quite literally.

Like I said, just my own interpretation and probably way off the mark. Comments please.
