When it started we had high hopes
Now my back's on the line
My back's on the ropes
When it started we were alright
But night makes a fool of us in daylight
Yeah we were dying of frustration
Saying "Lord lead me not into temptation"
But it's not easy when she turns you on
Since they gone
If you'll only, if you'd only say yes
Whether you will's anybody's guess
God only, God knows I'm trying my best
But I'm just so tired of this loneliness
So, up they picked me by the big toe
I was held from the rooftop, then they let go
There's only screaming
Let the windows, down
As I crawl to the ground
If you'll only, if you'd only say yes
Whether you will's anybody's guess
God, only God knows she won't let me rest
But I'm just so tired of this loneliness
I've become so tired of this loneliness
Now my back's on the line
My back's on the ropes
When it started we were alright
But night makes a fool of us in daylight
Yeah we were dying of frustration
Saying "Lord lead me not into temptation"
But it's not easy when she turns you on
Since they gone
If you'll only, if you'd only say yes
Whether you will's anybody's guess
God only, God knows I'm trying my best
But I'm just so tired of this loneliness
So, up they picked me by the big toe
I was held from the rooftop, then they let go
There's only screaming
Let the windows, down
As I crawl to the ground
If you'll only, if you'd only say yes
Whether you will's anybody's guess
God, only God knows she won't let me rest
But I'm just so tired of this loneliness
I've become so tired of this loneliness

I'm getting this sort of Augie March-ish vibes from some of these songs. Anyway though, in this case, I'm thinking something more like a uh... married couple, who started out really passionate, but then the love and sexlife are dying and now his wife's gone or something. Maybe a little like Radiohead's House of Cards, thematically, although if that's finding a solution in swinging, this is still searching for an answer.
The big toe part really reminds me of a baby, though, for some reason. Maybe they had a kid and that ruined the marriage.
Dig the shoegazey second part thing.
