While the obvious connections with suicide or alcoholism could be drawn easily, more subtly this song could be about someone who views the world through a negative lens constantly and how as much as the writer tries to show the beauty in the world, this person refuses to see it. It's one or another between the rope and the bottle. There is no good option for this person. They can't see it. Skiba sings it in a kind of exasperated way like He's tired of hearing this negative view constantly and just allowing that person to continue feeling the way they feel knowing he can't do anything about it. You can hear it when he says maybe you're a vampire.
Uh, uh, check it, uh, uh, uh
Word is bond, yeah
I will love you anyway baby
Anyway and every way I can
'Cause I'm that kinda man, yes
I will give you everything, baby
Give you more than any girl can stand
I'm gonna love you baby, baby, baby, baby
I'll talk about making love
In the shower least a hour
And let you dangle in my arms
'Cause love is power, can you feel it?
The sky's the limit once you reveal it
Your heart was wounded , God sent me to heal it
I'm on a mission ain't no stress love
Touch it with precision, just undress, love
I know the right position, come on, trust me, girl
Throw this rock up on your hand
I'll give you the world
Hey, yo, face, whoa
(Ooh, baby, baby)
On the real was the honey looking laced
[Chorus]
This is for the lover in you
This ring means I'll always be true
This is how we'll start love anew
This time's gonna last forever
I will love you all the way baby
Girl, that means this love will never end
I'll be your lover and your friend
I'll take you anywhere baby
Just say when and girl I'll take you there
I'm gonna take you baby, baby, baby
We're going from Tahiti to France to Italy in one night
Drop top Bentley Coupe parked in the spotlight
And you can drive it laced in all white
I'm wearing triple black, a Gear's top flight
Trips to Venice the man a steel when a menace
A match made in heaven when we blend this
Lovers everlasting in other words endless
To love any other man would be senseless in yor face
On the real was the honey looking laced?
[Chorus]
Ladies and gentlemen, Howard Hewitt
I can say I never met a girl, no, no
Who satisfied my mental and my physical thing
When I lay me down to sleep
I rest assured with the thought
That you are right, right next to me
[Chorus]
It's for the lover in you, baby
With this ring I'll show you there ain't no maybe
It's for the lover in you baby. oh, yeah, yeah
Oh this time's it's gonna last forever, and ever, baby
It's for the lover in you, baby, baby, baby
Oh, oh
It's for the lover in you, baby
And this time's it's gonna last forever
Word is bond, yeah
I will love you anyway baby
Anyway and every way I can
'Cause I'm that kinda man, yes
I will give you everything, baby
Give you more than any girl can stand
I'm gonna love you baby, baby, baby, baby
I'll talk about making love
In the shower least a hour
And let you dangle in my arms
'Cause love is power, can you feel it?
The sky's the limit once you reveal it
Your heart was wounded , God sent me to heal it
I'm on a mission ain't no stress love
Touch it with precision, just undress, love
I know the right position, come on, trust me, girl
Throw this rock up on your hand
I'll give you the world
Hey, yo, face, whoa
(Ooh, baby, baby)
On the real was the honey looking laced
[Chorus]
This is for the lover in you
This ring means I'll always be true
This is how we'll start love anew
This time's gonna last forever
I will love you all the way baby
Girl, that means this love will never end
I'll be your lover and your friend
I'll take you anywhere baby
Just say when and girl I'll take you there
I'm gonna take you baby, baby, baby
We're going from Tahiti to France to Italy in one night
