Don't leave, don't leave,
I want you to realize when I'm gone.
My my, my my,
You are the only thing I want to own.
There's sugar on your soul,
You're like no one I know,
You're the life of another world.
You swallow me whole,
With just a mumbled hello,
And it breaks my heart to love you, it breaks my heart to love you.
Don't leave, don't leave,
When you're lost in the moment, I am home.
I tried, I tried
To make you realize when I'm gone, gone, gone.
There's sugar on your soul,
You're like no one I know,
You're the life of another world.
You swallow me whole,
With just a mumbled hello,
And it breaks my heart to love you, it breaks my heart to love you.
It breaks my heart to love you.
There's sugar on your soul,
There's sugar on your soul.
There's sugar on your soul,
You're like no one I know,
You're the life of another world.
You swallow me whole,
With just a mumbled hello,
And it breaks my heart to love you, it breaks my heart to love you.
Don't leave, don't leave,
I want you to realize when I'm gone.
I want you to realize when I'm gone.
My my, my my,
You are the only thing I want to own.
You're like no one I know,
You're the life of another world.
With just a mumbled hello,
And it breaks my heart to love you, it breaks my heart to love you.
When you're lost in the moment, I am home.
I tried, I tried
To make you realize when I'm gone, gone, gone.
You're like no one I know,
You're the life of another world.
With just a mumbled hello,
And it breaks my heart to love you, it breaks my heart to love you.
There's sugar on your soul.
You're like no one I know,
You're the life of another world.
With just a mumbled hello,
And it breaks my heart to love you, it breaks my heart to love you.
I want you to realize when I'm gone.

I like this, I think I know what they mean, you're kind of hanging on every word this person says cos you can't relate to no other. But you know deep down she means more to you than you her. Therefore purposefully not speaking for a few days, you try to achieve what is nearly impossible - to make them realise when you're gone. Probably the best you can hope for, to leave your tiny mark. Absence and all that, it's a nice feeling.
can't stop listening to that song. I kind of relate.
thank you Editors for the magnificent album!
I'm guessing this is about being in love with someone whom you feel is better than you, and you hope to make them feel your absence when you are not around :)
A person who you are in love with but your approach is casual, possibly afraid of rejection or situations forbid you both to see this as something more. For me it fits as many things have happened between you two, probably a divorce or a bad break and possibly you can't say anymore that you love her and the only way for her to see (big mistake though) is to her realize your absence (gone gone). You are attracted to her so intensely and the sweetness of her is unlike anything you had or seen or lived before.but this also shows you are not on the level...
Strange how our mind plays love, placing others in pedestals which eventually don't deserve and how those placed on pedestals don't realize how much they are loved and wanted, never realizing that the sugar in their soul will go to waste with people who don't see or deserve it.
It is about Heroin.
