The song starts with the man singing to his ex lover trying to persuade her to not move on to someone else and stay with him. He is trying to persuade her to come back to him, but she does not love him like he loves her. He is almost blaming her for leaving him, saying that he has needs too and she can't leave him because he needs her. He is telling her that she would be safe with him and he would love her, but it is not enough for her. He keeps asking her what can he say to persuade her to stay with him. The 5th stanza changes in tone from persuasive to angry, but in a hurt way. She rejects him. "A second hand flashes passes over your skin like time" means that she has moved on and she is now with someone else. He calls her a caldera, meaning that her actions have had a painful effect on his emotions, almost like a volcano exploding would cause disaster, she has caused him pain. He then keeps pleading with her, asking her "what choice of words will take me back to you." He basically is telling her that he will always love her and will be there when she realizes he is the one who will love and care for her. That's just what I got from it, I could be totally off. I've had this song on repeat all night though, absolutely love it! |
