A lot of people are saying it's about cheating but that's not the only way it can interpreted. When the artist doesn't give a specific meaning, there are a lot of ways to interpret a song; however, I'm definitely not unbiased in my opinion because I'm relating the song to relationships I've been in. I believe this song is about how his wants/needs/DESIRES are a tremendous STRAIN on her. Men are really needy when it comes to sex. Sometimes the amount of stress and pressure a man will put on a woman when he wants it is really just too much to handle, especially since men tend to want it all the time. - What if it makes you sad at me? (What if my needs or the things I ask of you make you feel sad?) - And what if it makes you laugh now but you cry as you fall asleep? (What if when I when I tell you want I want now, you'll try to laugh it off like it's fine and just do what everything I want, but when you're alone at night, you'll think about what I had you do and you'll cry?) - And what if it takes your breath And you can hardly breathe? (I could really read into this when it comes to bjs but I'll spare people that. What if the idea that I'd ask so much of you makes you feel like you can't breathe?) - And what if it makes the last sound be the very best sound? (What if all the things we do end giving you a great climax? [Are you going to be sad even if that moment of pleasure makes you happy?]) - And is it all my fault or can I fix it, please? (Is it all my fault that I want so much of you and am pressuring you to do it like this? If it's not completely my fault then can I fix you and me?) - Cause you know that I'm always all for you (You know that I only want to make you happy and be happy with you [but I still wanna have sex with you so bad].) - And what if it makes you lose faith in me? (What if you start to believe that I'm really not a good person and that we were never meant for each other?) - And what if makes you question every moment you cannot see? (What if it makes you question if we really have a future together? / What if it makes you question whether I'm going to do something you don't want me to at an second?) - And what if it makes you crash and you can't find the key? (What if all this thinking makes you crash into an unbreakable wall but the car is still going [as if it plans to try to get through even if it crushes you] and you can't even find this keys [the things that started it all] to pull out of the ignition to save yourself/escape?) - And what if it makes you ask How you could let it all go? (What if it makes you ask me "Why is sex more important to you than me? Will you just let me go? [Because I'm going to leave if you don't prove that you're not more interested in me than sex]?) - And is it all my fault or can I fix it, please Cause you know that I'm always all for you (You have to know that I'm completely in love with you and would do anything for you, so if you don't completely blame me and hate me now, please let me fix everything.) - And if this be our last conversation, if this be the last time that we speak for awhile, don't lose hope and don't let go (If we break up/if I have to go somewhere and will be too busy to contact you, then still don't give up on us. Don't let go of what we have. [Even if we need time off, we can still fix this.]) - And if it's all my fault then let me fix it, please (This is the second-ish to last line, meaning that maybe it really is all his fault and if it is, he want so much to fix it.) - Cause you know that I'm always all for you (It ends with this line, meaning that she really is the most important thing to him, despite all the things he wants.) |
