We've Got Your Back (Documented Minor Emotional Breakdown #2)

..... my apologies, I made some silly typos there. Corrected:

official:

On the dashboard assembled In descending height order, Half a decade of father's day gifts Her mother bought for her; Never passed on. Puffy eyes, nasty reaction; Doe eyes, you're kidding yourself

I learned remedial Spanish From a toddler. Passenger seat of father's taxi Cussing in unison Clutching receipts and Deceased handwriting Filled with a sense of Great disappointment; Doe eyes, you're kidding yourself

And so fucking on, and so fucking forth: We've got your back, whatever that's worth If your hero told you to go huff a sharpie, what would you do? (I do not know) Every girl I ever kissed I was thinking of a pro-footballer (THOUGHT. YOU. SHOULD. KNOW)

(Gareth) I've learnt more from toilet walls than I've learnt from these words of yours Your feelings are buried in scriptures and fictions, it's all in the words but I'm here for the pictures.

(Aleks) I'm sweating off the cheat notes on my thighs They were for your benefit not mine

And so fucking on, and so fucking forth: We've got your back, whatever that's worth If we didn't know the shape was for functionality, what would we do? (I do not know) If it wasn't for the corrupt US pharmacy, what would we do?

Sometimes only you'll know. We're cementing old friends, dismissing old foes. We're throwing punches and ducking blows.

"If it wasn't for the curfew ?? what would we do?" should be "If it wasn't for the current U.S. policy what would we do?"

Agree with tjwells, and I think it's "We're throwing punches and ducking blows"

and it should be "if your hero told you to go HUFF a sharpie"

I'm sweating off the cheat notes on my thighs

"If it wasn't for the current U.S. policy what would we do?"

... What?

It's obviously "If it wasn't for the courage to ask for mercy what would we do?"

Filed it under the wrong comment type.

"If it wasn't for the courage to ask for mercy what would we do?", not "If it wasn't for the current U.S. policy what would we do?"

I want a meaning not corrections. Hahaha

This song is really hard for me to get anything out of, following the narrative path of the album, the only thing I can really gather from this is from the final refrains. The guy finds the fact that she never says anything frustrating and infuriating, the supposed hints she's been giving him he hasn't picked up on. She's been trying very clearly to tell him for awhile now and he hasn't taken the time to notice, so she's done trying.

The first two verses someone can have a crack at, cause I'm not getting anything.

The only other theme I'd pick up on is that the chorus seems to be the narrator either taking comfort or support in friends or given the denial he's in and the following song, maybe he's not so much leaning on his friends as he is a football club? It's a shot in the dark but.
