Well, maybe I'm a crook for stealing your heart away
Yeah, maybe I'm a crook for not caring for it
Yeah, maybe I'm a bad, bad, bad, bad person
Well, baby, I know
And these fingertips
Will never run through your skin
And those bright blue eyes
Can only meet mine across a room
Filled with people that are less important than you
All 'cause you love, love, love
When you know I can't love
You love, love, love
When you know I can't love
You love, love, love
When you know I can't love you
So I think it's best we both forget before we dwell on it
The way you held me so tight
All through the night
'Til it was near morning
'Cause you love, love, love
When you know I can't love
You love, love, love
When you know I can't love
You love, love, love
When you know I can't love you
All 'cause you love, love, love
When you know I can't love
You love, love, love
When you know I can't love
You love, love, love
When you know I can't love you
Yeah, maybe I'm a crook for not caring for it
Yeah, maybe I'm a bad, bad, bad, bad person
Well, baby, I know
And these fingertips
Will never run through your skin
And those bright blue eyes
Can only meet mine across a room
Filled with people that are less important than you
All 'cause you love, love, love
When you know I can't love
You love, love, love
When you know I can't love
You love, love, love
When you know I can't love you
So I think it's best we both forget before we dwell on it
The way you held me so tight
All through the night
'Til it was near morning
'Cause you love, love, love
When you know I can't love
You love, love, love
When you know I can't love
You love, love, love
When you know I can't love you
All 'cause you love, love, love
When you know I can't love
You love, love, love
When you know I can't love
You love, love, love
When you know I can't love you

but then i realized that my interpretation of this song has a lot to do with who i am (and certainly it happens to everyone)
i don't see someone who broke another person's heart, i see someone who simply can't love, or doesn't know how to deal with this thing. maybe because it's a new thing to him/her, or maybe because he/she is affraid of getting hurt. the "almost"-loved-one knows about the mixed feelings this person is going through. maybe this person's indecision hurts the "loved one" in some way... maybe not.
i don't know if what i say here makes any sense to anyone, but to me the song is about how confusing love can be, and not necessarily about breaking someone's heart.
I like to imagine this is as the song written by the girl who broke Bon Iver's heart (see: Skinny Love)
This is what a lot of women, especially younger kind-hearted women, struggle to say to men.
She's saying she doesn't feel the same way about him as he does her, and she's feels really bad about breaking his heart.
"This is what a lot of women, especially younger kind-hearted women, struggle to say to men."
Why do you think it happens so much?
This song is about a woman who broke up with a man because she didn't love him
This is set up in the first verse:
"Maybe I'm a crook for stealing your heart away" She stole his heart, they fell in love.
"And maybe I'm a crook for not caring for it" She threw his heart away when she left him.
"And maybe I'm a bad, bad, bad, bad person/Well baby, I know" She acknowledges that she hurt him.
In the second verse, she realizes she'll never get to touch or hold him again like they did when they were lovers.
"And these fingertips, they'll never run through your skin
Those bright blue eyes can only meet mine across a room
Filled with people that are less important than you"
"Filled with people less important that you" is said with a sense of frustration and longing, but not in a 'the world is keeping us apart' way. Rather, her frustration stems from her inability to share his love. See the chorus?
"Because you love, love, love when you know I can't love
You love, love, love when you know I can't love
You love, love, love when you know I can't love,"
With each repeat, she grows more frustrated. She is angry at him for loving her so much, and she is angry at herself for feeling nothing towards him.
"So I think it's best we both forget before we dwell on it
The way you held me so tight all through the night
'til it was near morning"
Again, she reminisces on the time they shared and his unfaltering love for her.
"Because you love, love, love when you know I can't love
You love, love, love when you know I can't love
You love, love, love when you know I can't love, you" the last chorus is the highest vocal point of the song. She reaches the tip of her frustration. The outro is a kind of catharsis.
Imagine seeing your ex at a party on the other side of the room. They stare up at you, and you share a fleeting moment of longing. You can feel a tug in the pit of your stomach.
I imagine this song to happen in such a moment.
But I digress.
This creates the thought that the song definately has some personal connection for Ragnar, which leaves to wonder whether Nanna wrote this just about Ragnars life, or whether it's about her life as well, and it's about a possible past they shared, though I believe it's the formal
