Please don't go crazy, if I tell you the truth
No you don't know what happened, and you never, will
If you don't listen to me while I talk to the wall
This blanket is freezing, its been out in the hall
Where you fight me for hours, 'til I'm sure what I want
But darling I want the same thing, that I wanted before
So sweetheart tell me what's up, I won't stop, no way

Please keep your hands down, and stop raising your voice
Its hardly what I'd be doing, if you gave me a choice
Its a simple suggestion, can you give me some time
So just say yes or no, why can't you shoulder the blame?
'Cause both my shoulders are heavy, from the weight of us both
You're a big boy now, so lets not talk about growth
You've not heard a single word I have said, oh my God

Please take it easy, It can't all be my fault
I haven't made half the mistakes, that you've listed so far
Baby let me explain something, its all down to drugs
At least I remember taking them, and not a lot else
It seems I've stepped over lines, you've drawn again and again
But if the ecstasy's in, the wit is definitely out
Dr.Jekyll is wrestling Hyde, for my pride

    jekyll and hyde i think refers to a different personality when ur on x. i dont know any1 that has wit when their rollin on E. this song is about a guy on drugs and his friend/girlfriend doesnt know half the story of whats goin thru his mind. he wants to tell her but he cant seem to make her understand. i also think this is a scene that he runs over and over in his mind, don't think its actually happening in the present tense. the 2nd verse is describing how he thinks she might react cos obviously he cares about this person. listen to the first 3seconds he says "...it must be a big reaction" im sure other guys who are into drugs and is trying to explain himself to a girl he likes can relate very much.
