Somewhat different interpretation from the other posts. To me this song is about the different stages of a romantic relationship, between a guy with low self-esteem and a girl that he meets. The first verse is first getting to know one another. The guy wants to see if the girl can relate to his cynicism. He develops a dependence and attachment to her, despite not knowing her well, to the point where he wants to talk to her even if she is berating him. The second verse describes the moment where they actually make a romantic spark and begin a relationship. "Making the jump" is taking a risk with the relationship together. The third verse describes them once they are in the relationship. Having eyes on the back of your head is like always watching your back, almost in a paranoid way. Although they had this spark in their relationship, the low self-esteem leads to a lack of trust between them. The spark has been replaced by paranoia and distrust between the couple, so they are always thinking the other might do something behind their back. The chorus gives the feeling that even knowing the potential for this relationship to go wrong, he still wants to go for it because 'our lips won't last for ever': carpe diem, we won't live for ever so might as well give it a shot. Amazing song btw. |
