Cannot Eat Better Not Sleep Lyrics
that you gave me on the shoreline.
And I keep it in my pocket,
and I think about you sometimes.
I don't need it,
but it's okay if you kiss me in the driveway.
I only brought it because
I thought you'd want it back.
need some time on your own.
So you ask the clocks for healing,
but their hands keep you alone.
Someone told you time repairs it.
I said
No, it just forgets it,
and I need you to remember who I am.
for someone as cold as I am.
Quite a stupid thing we did
for someone as cold as I am.
Quite a lot of friends I have
for someone as cold as I am.
Quite a fucking mess we're in
for someone as cold as I am.
you should call me
because I'm awake and always will be.
I cannot eat,
I better not sleep until you're okay.
This song is quite beautiful, and especially heart-wrenching with the lines '...for someone as cold as I am.'
I believe it concerns someone who doesn't think they deserve "the smoothest seashell" - that is, love. Unconditional love, perhaps. ("I only brought it because I thought you'd want it back.")
But with the second stanza it seems the one who gave the seashell ended up leaving the speaker for -their own- despair to be fixed. It hasn't yet, by the end of the song.
Once again, it's heart-wrenching when you dig and find that the speaker deeply cares for this loving person who is nevertheless suffering.

Just wanted to note, there's a small omission in these lyrics... It's "Quite a lot of friends I have."
