Glory Lyrics
1st Verse:
I was out stumblin' in the rain
Staring at your lips so red
You said, "Blah, blah, blah"
Got a pillow stuck in my head
How could I argue with a mirror?
She looked at me
Yes I hear her
Chorus:
When I see the glory
I ain't gotta worry (2x)
2nd Verse:
Said there's a halo on that truck
Won't you please get it for me
I said, "Of course my little swan
If ever and ever you adore me"
She got mad, she said,
"You're too steep"
Puts on her boxing gloves
And went to sleep
Chorus
Bridge
Chorus
I was out stumblin' in the rain
Staring at your lips so red
You said, "Blah, blah, blah"
Got a pillow stuck in my head
How could I argue with a mirror?
She looked at me
Yes I hear her
When I see the glory
I ain't gotta worry (2x)
Said there's a halo on that truck
Won't you please get it for me
I said, "Of course my little swan
If ever and ever you adore me"
She got mad, she said,
"You're too steep"
Puts on her boxing gloves
And went to sleep

Not so sure about the rest of it, other than it's beauty, but the second verse is obviously about being "too steep"- the thing that hurts him the most is her going to sleep after he asked if she would ever and ever adore him (ignoring his undying love in trade for sleep- he feels something that might last a long time, she's only interested in sleep and halos). Hence the imagery of the boxing gloves.
I think the first verse is describing a moment of epiphany- where he looks in a metaphorical mirror and makes himself say what he feels. Not sure about the pillow line..
Beautifully descriptive...my fave television song.
Hmm...I'm not sure if you're being serious, but I think it's pretty obvious from the chorus that he's happy and content when she's around.

In the first verse, he says he likes to just look at her and so hardly hears her when she rambles on probably pointlessly, but she knows she's rambling on pointlessly (acknowledging the pillow stuck in her head) and he doesn't mind because he can be that way, too. I think the line is actually "how could I argue with a mirror?" meaning she's like him, his mirror. The second verse shows that...

The second verse shows that he knows exactly how to playfully annoy her, and it amuses him when she does get annoyed. It's something he finds fun about their relationship, knowing things will all be fine again when she wakes up, which you assume from the chorus coming back at the end.
